Young Convict Gives Some Good Advice By ABIGAIL VAN BlREN DEAR ABBY : I am 18 and in a pack of trouble. I was arrested for burglary and ether charges. This was not my first time, so I am locked up here in Cambridge, Minn., awaiting trial. I would like to express some of the things I have learned in the 121 days I have been here. One is that you should listen to your parents as they will never steer you wrong. I never got along too good with my dad. Every time he tried to talk to me we got into a heated argument, but now I realize if I had listened to him, I wouldnt be here. I would also like to tell kids, dont quit school to go out and make money. I did. and look where I ended up. Also, there are no short cuts. A guy needs all the education he can get. And another thing. Dont blame your mistakes on other people. My friends showed me how to break the law, but I am the one who now must take full responsibility for my own actions. I will probably get sent up to St. Cloud, but thanks, Abby, for letting me say this. Also, I want to thank Sheriff Erickson. He is a swell guy. He let me use his typewriter to write to vou Sincerely, THE CAMBRIDGE BUM DEAR SIR: Youre young yet, so dont go calling yourself a bum. You can pay your debt and still amount to something if you really want to. I talked to Sheriff Erickson, and he told nie you had already been sent to St. Cloud. He said he certainly hoped you would straighten yourself ont because you had a lot of good in you, In addition to being exceptionally smart. I believe him. I wish you luck. DEAR ABBY: You always tell girls they should confide in their mothers. Well, I used to. but no more. First I made my mother promise if I told her some confidence she tell anybody. She promised and I told her. (It was something about a boy I In thing wouldn't liked.) Well, it got back to this boy because my mother told my aunt, and this au..t just happens to have the biggest mouth in Baltimore, that's all, and she told this boys mother ! So, please, Abby, tell mothers who can't keep secrets not to feel left out if their children don't tell them anything.

The little necklace of Burma rubies wasnt a bit pretentious. It was on view with a handsome pair of 1930ish diamond and ruby ear phires, 58 carats, square eu, brighter than navy blue, and set in a simple ring. An pale blue diamond was so special and romantic clips. As they say about some fashion collections, there was truly something for everybody at the Parke-Beme- t auction.
