DEAR DR. GOTT: My granddaugh-

14th birthday, of a malignant chon-
drosarcoma. This was six weeks after
her first complaint of a sore shoulder.
The tumor that appeared slightly be-
low the rib cage was attached to her
liver. We didn’t get any satisfaction
from her doctor as to why this hap-

DEAR DR GOTT My 79-year-old

treat because it tends io “seed” or im-

DEAR READER: I’ve always been
interested in how people’s percep-
tions about night air have changed
from generation to generation. When
my father was a boy, breathing cold
night air — particularly damp air —
pened so quickly With so little relief,
we are concerned because there is an-
_ other child from the same parents
viewed as a tonic. No matter how cold Could problems develop here also?

was bundled up with the window
open, at bedtime. It was murder to get
out of a cold bed in the morning but,
as far as I can see, I didn't suffer as a
result.
My own children sleep with closed
windows when it’s cold outside. This is
their preference, and I don’t make a
big deal out of it.
Therefore, my answer to your ques-
tion is: It probably doesn’t matter As

DEAR MOTHER: I can under-
stand your concern, but take my
word for it, Mother, losing weight is
the original do-it-yourself project.
Begging, nagging or threatening
will not work. Unless Bruce decides
of his own volition to get serious,
nothing will happen, even though
his obesity is life-threatening. He
needs counseling to find out why he
is doing this to himself - and
perhaps to you.
. The problem is not what Bruce is
eating but what is eating him. I
wish him the best of luck.
DEAR MR. TROT: I hope you
won't be upset to learn that Char-
lotte wrote to me, too. Here is her
letter:
He seems to be doing OK profes-
sionally, but in his line of work
looks count and I'm sure he could
do a lot better if he lost 100 pounds.
I have two other sons who are in
good physical condition. Tell me if
there is anything that can be done
to bring Bruce to his senses before
the heart attack comes. Sign me -

WHERE IN FLORIDA
This Gem of the Day came from
Lorin Hess of Salt Lake City. It was
seen in Modern Maturity magazine:
A preppy-looking man was arrested
for peddling “Fountain of Youth"
pills that promised to reverse the
aging process. When he came before
the judge, His Honor was outraged
at such a scam and asked if the man
had had a record of prior arrests.
"Yes, indeed," said the prosecu-
tor, referring to her notes. “He was
arrested for the same offense in
1981, 1965,1942. 1908,1873, 1847..."

Jan. 11, 1990
Today is the 11th pY
day of 1990 and the E3
22nd day of winter.
Dear Ann lenders: My husband
is a wonderful man in all respects
except one. Whenever we go danc-
ing he ends up mad because he
doesn't like the way I dance.
I enjoy dancing but I don't take
it as seriously as my husband. He
insists on giving me lessons, tells me
how to hold my head, what to do
with my arms, do this, don’t do
that. It takes all the fun out of the
evening.
I have danced with many men
through the years, and no one has
ever complained. In fact. I've been
told that I'm a good dancer. But
whenever my husband and I dance
together we end up arguing.
I love this man dearly and would

DEAR FEET: You two need an
impartial third party to mediate
this small war. I suggest a dance
instructor.
Take a few lessons together and
let the instructor decide where your
arms should be and how you
should hold your head. Since the
inability to dance together seems to
be causing so much trouble in your
marriage, lessons would be well
worth the time and money.

DEAR BETTY — Believe me, at
times it happens to all of us! A new

presto! Pink undies! All-fabric
bleaches are unlikely to do much to
remove this dye. Chlorine bleach
might do a fairly good job, if the fab-
rics are safe for chlorine bleach (cot-
tons, polyesters and blends should be
fine; bleaching turns nylon yellow).

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If there is a
matter of personal benefit you want to
conclude today, don't let associates set
your time table for you. Take the Initia-
tive and do what needs doing on your
own.
GEMINI (May 21-Juna 20) Others will
have more respect for you today if you
admit to your mistakes and take mea-
sures to correct them Instead of looking
for a scapegoat on whom to hang the
blame.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Avoid incli-
nations today to think only of yourself to
the detriment of others. Such base mo-
tives might profit you for the moment,
but what about tomorrow?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Bold measures
may be required today In order to ad-
vance a venture In which you are pres-
ently Involved. Once you make a deter-
mination, proceed assertively and don't
look back
VIRGO (Aug. 23-8ept. 22) It's best you
follow your humane Instinct* today
rather than being vindicative. Even If
you feel put upon new, conditions will
eventually right themselves.

Dear Ann lenders: My wife is a
terrific person. She excels in almost
everything. Her one area of defi-
ciency is ballroom dancing.
I'm not bragging when I say I'm
an excellent dancer. Women often
ask me to dance with them. But I
cannot dance with my wife. “Char-
lotte" holds her head in the wrong
, position and her left arm is like a
10-ton weight on my right shoulder
Good dancers glide along, taking
. horizontal steps. Charlotte prefers
to do her own thing. Instead of
following me, she leads.

writing to you for help I was
relieved to find that she was not at
all upset. - MR. FOX TROT,

A good solution is color remover,
