Told Wish I Hadn't Been Dear Wish: You shouldn't have been told. Parents who have sex problems ought not to be discussing them with their children. Either your mother ia trying to punish your dad hy telling on him, or she is preparing you for the split. In any event, this is not your problem, and 1 urge you to put it out of your mind Dear Ami Landers: You are the speaker at many luncheons and dinners. That means you must eat while being observed by thousands of people. Have you pver been to a chewmaster"? friend told me recently that she read an article saying it is very important to chew on one's best" side because the face takes on many expressions that can be very unflattering if one chews on the "wrong" A side. 1 decided to experiment the other morning at breakfast. I put a large mirror on the kitchen table and watched myself chew cereal and toast. I didnt like the way I looked, so I tried chewing on the opposite side It looked better, but I bit my tongue and it bled Now I think I ought to go to a chewmaster for professional guidance.

I cant think of anything that might be gained from a chewmaster that couldnt be accomplished which by using ordinary good manners means chewing food slowly and quietly with your mouth shut. Dear Ann: We asked three couples to our home for dinner. My husband decided to show them the movies we took of our trip to Yellowstone. Everyone seemed to enjoy them, so he said hed run the movies of our daughter's third birthday party. Two of the couples announced, Weve seen it. Do you mind if we leave?" And they did. We felt their behavior was very rude After all, they did eat. It wouldnt hae killed them to see the movie a second time. Macon, Ga. Right? Dear Ga. : Wrong. Must your guests pay for their dinner by sitting through your movies? Most films of other peoples kids are hard enough to sit through the first time. Bigger furniture for smaller rooms By Jo Weme Knight-Ridde- r Newspapers If our rooms become smaller in the future because of the high cost of construction, does that mean we'll have to settle for furniture in a petite scale as well? Furniture designer Karl Springer doesn't believe so. He thinks small rooms should be furnished with large pieces, but only two or three things at most. Theres nothing more attractive than one large chaise longue in a bed room that serves as both said sofa and bed. Springer, a noted furniture designer for 18 years. "Instead of many pieces of small furniture, it's smarter to have a few large ones that make a statement. This advice is ideal for the young individual or couple furnishing their first apartment. Its frustrating to try to furnish several rooms at once because furniture, even the cheap stuff, takes a chunk out of the budget. Springer advises young people to invest in just a sofa. one good piece Ladies Literary event The 103rd birthday anniversary of the Ladies' Literary Club of Salt Lake City will be commemorated by members and guests at the clubs annual birthday breakfast Saturday at the Lit- tle America Hotel, American Ballroom.

Get Money Out If you buy good design and good workmanship, you can always sell the piece in the future and get your money out of it." he said. He told how one customer sold a Springer design to Sotheby Parke Bemet, the auction house in New York, 10 years after purfor more rhasing it, than he originally paid for it." Most furniture is worth very little the minute you take it out of the store, but Springers story shows that an exceptional designer piece will escalate in price, as do antiques, and thus is worth the initial investment. Most of Springers deare signs large in scale: massive cocktail tables, plump, over-stuffe- d sofas; a chaise longue wide enough for four friendly people. Ironically, his early designs were small in scale, probably because my first showhe room was small, mused. As his business grew, factory and showroom space increased as well. His designs kept pace. Handsome Chaise Springer showed off a handsome chaise which can be fitted with a proper mattress for use in a bedroom. The frame is solid wood, with arms and backrest wrapped in rawhide rope. Theres a matching cocktail table, also attractively wrapped in rawhide and topped with glass. Springer designs coffee tables which raise to dining table height. His cabinets and chairs are lacquered over a period of weeks to a satin finish. hand-painte- But its Springers most unusual in the collection. You have to be told the surface is goat skm, however; it looks much like marble. "The way we do it is to soak the goatskin in dye to soften it, the designer explained. Thats what gives the finish such a variation in colors. Then it's fitted to the table surface and lacquered over and over until we get this hard, high-glofinish. You can put a glass or hot dish on it; nothing will hurt it. Our Annual February Fur Clearance ss Not Obviously Goat When he began experimenting with goatskin, Springer didnt like it. "When it looked like goat, it was disgusting. I like the results we get now because its not obviously goat skin.
