DEAR ABBY: Please tell me what you think of a father
who doesn’t think he’s needed at the hospital when his
3-year-old son has his third operation. [Plastic surgery for
burns.)
Daddy wasn’t there for the first two, either. Mommy
went alone and sat in the waiting room for a couple of hours.
My husband says, “What good will it do the boy? I’ll
come in the evening to see him when he knows I’m there.”
Am I right or wrong to feel that my husband should be
there? “MOMMY’S HERE”
DEAR MOMMY: I can’t imagine a father who would
stay away. But aside from this idiosyncrasy, he may be an
adequate husband and parent. Don’t push it.

DEAR ABBY: I read with interest the articles about
loose dentures. My wife had that problem; then we started
world traveling in connection with my work. She went to a
dentist in Denmark, and he said he’d never seen such a slop-
py fit! Then he added, “I’ll bet it was done in the States.” He
was right. She said if he could do a better job to go to it. He
did, and what a beautiful job that dentist turned out!
Without denture powders, glue or anything to hold them in
those dentures fit as snug and comfortable as her own teeth.
I think Ralph Nader could do a good job exposing the
dental profession here. I had a bridge made in Calcutta and
another made in New Zealand, and all the American dentists
marvel at the fine craftsmanship. By the way, the dental
work my wife and I had cost about 30 per cent of what they
charge here.
Do me a favor and don’t use my name. No one knows my
wife wears dentures, and I don’t want her embarrassed.
FAITHFUL READER
DEAR READER: Come on now. There are plenty of poor
dentists in Calcutta and Denmark, and many conscientious
dentists in The States. There is an international dental
society which invites dentists from all over the world to meet
and share their knowledge of improved dental techniques.
And I’m sure they do.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is engaged to be married in
November. Well, last week, while looking for bobby pins in
her dresser drawer, I came across some little pink pills in a
queer-looking pill box. When I asked her what they were, she
said, “Birth control pills. You know I’m supposed to take
them 3 months before the wedding.” [I know she had taken
one that day because there was one less than the day
before.)
My question is this: "Why is she taking them now when
the marriage isn’t until November?
I would throw her fiance right out on his ear but I’m
afraid she'd go with him, and it would break my heart as I
love my daughter very much. Every time I look at her fiance
now I get a terrible feeling of hatred. How in the world can I
help plan a wedding in November feeling the way I do about

NEW YORK - (NEA) -
From pantsuits to ball
gowns, cotton steals the
limelight for summer.
There is no fabric more
comfortable in warm
weather and the new tex-
tures of cotton are varied in-
deed. They can be anything
from a see-through voile to a
rich brocade.
The prominence of cotton
as a basic high-fashion ma-
terial was highlighted at the
recent annual American Cot-
ton Fashion Award cere-
mony held here at the Plaza
Hotel and produced by Elea-
nor Lambert. The highly
prized fashion award was
given to New York designer
Geoffrey Beene.
The traditional “Blue Rib-
bon Cottons" were featured
in the first half of the show
and ran the gamut from
pants and tops in bold-pat-
terned cotton weaves
through rain-treated poplin,
printed piques, sheer or-
gandy, batiste and voile and
cited such former Cotton
Award winners as Tom Brig-
ance, Jacques Tiffeau and
Pauline Trigere. A group of
39 costumes from the Beene
summer collection was
shown for the second half of
the event.
A young Louisianan who
once marked his chemistry
and biology notes with fash-
ion sketches, Geoffrey Beene
is now one of the biggest
name designers in American
fashion. He is the first de-
signer to win the Cotton
Award for the second time.
Beene studied medicine at
Tulane (he came from a
family which had produced
doctors for generations) but
his fashion art meant more
to him than medical charts
and he left for the Univer-
sity of Southern California
d a part-time job in the
play department of I.
