Pet urine a ‘smeller’
By Polly Fisher
DEAR POLLY My cat urinated on the rug, and the spot
still smells, even though we’ve tried steam cleaning This
rug is in too good shape to be thrown out What should I do?
A.P.
DEtP. A P. — One of the best remedies 1 know for remov-
ing the odors from pet accidents is plain white vinegar. This
can be used on any washable fabric or any fabric that can be
wet without damage. Saturate the affected spot with the
vinegar (you may want to test for color change on a hidden
area of the rug, first), let it sit for 15 minutes or so, then
sponge with a wet cloth or sponge to rinse. Repeat if neces-
sary.
If the vinegar is ineffective, check your local hardware
store for special products made to get nd of such odors.
There are a few of these on the market: just be sure to follow
instructions carefully. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY Do you ever hang your coat or jacket on
a coat rack while dining out'’ Have you heard of others coats
being stolen in this way? Take an extra minute to button the
• >p two buttons on your coat after you place it on the hanger
It will take the thief longer to slip the coat off the hanger
and he may change his mind when faced with this difficulty
Never throw away a rubber bathtub mat after the suction
cups wear down It will make a wonderful pad on the bottom
shelf of your kitchen cupboards This is especially useful
where you store heavy skillets or under the sink where you
keep detergents, cleansers, polish, etc They provide cushion
ing, a nonslip surface and are easy to clean They never
seem to wear out F.M.U.

DEAR ABBY: This is for the young single woman who
was harassed by a married man at work. He left flowers
on her desk, wrote her mushy notes and kept trying to
talk her into dating him after she refused repeatedly.
I recently read an article on sexual harassment at the
office. It suggested that the person being harassed write
the harasser a letter (keeping a copy), describing the
incidents and indicating her refusal to go along with such
behavior. It would read something like this:
“Dear ( ): On Jan. 14, 1984, at 2 p.m. you called me into
your office and pulled me onto your lap When I tried to
stand up, you said that you liked me there and didn’t
want me to go. The following week, on Jan. 20, you sent
me a dozen roses and asked me to go to dinner with you.
When 1 saw you at work the next day and refused the
dinner date, you reminded me that my yearly review was
coming up in March. On Feb. 12, you ... (the victim would
continue to list dates, incidents and her responses).
“1 am not interested in your attentions, and consider
them inappropriate for persons working in the same
office. 1 want all such attentions to stop immediately. If
they do not, I will have to take more serious action. Sin-
cerely, ( ).”
The article reported that this approach had worked well
for numerous harassed employees, but even if the em-
ployee has to go to a supervisor or union representative,
the documentation would help her case. Sign me ...

reverted to a modified version
of her "Charlie’s Angel”
leonine hairdo, except this time
it looks like an ill-fitting wig!
Her numerous costume chan-
ges, also a staple of the old TV
show, may interest fashion
watchers, but her wardrobe is
more haute than hooker coutu-
re. (Except for a pair of
leather pajamas, which she
wears without the bottom half.)
But her performance, a
modulated interpretation in a
role that could easily have
degenerated into cliche, more
than compensates for the
costume designer and cos-
metologist’s overblown contri-
butions.
Critics have long praised
Miss Fawcett’s work, especially
in feature films, while damning
her choice of projects, all box-
office failures. "The Red-Light
Sting" is a better choice.
In the scrint hv Howard
Berk, directed by Rod Hol-
comb, Miss Fawcett’s Kathy
Dunne is far from the
stereotypical portrait of the
hooker with a heart of gold. She
is tougn. otten nostite and
always defensive.

ment agent who tries to break
through her defenses. He poses
as the new owner of the brothel
which has been rigged with
hidden cameras and micro-
phones.
The government hopes to get

ient habit of bumping off

to incriminate himself on tape
when he tries to extort
protection money from Bridges.
Bridges and Miss Fawcett
gradually fall in love as he
seeks her help with the sting.
A publicity seeking Congress-
man, who tries to expose the
sting as a waste of government
money (the brothel cost
$430,000, a bargain actually for
Nob Hill), blows Bridges’
cover.
The agent is forced to
improvise a sting of his own,
which provides "The Red-Light
Sting’s" clever and totally
unexpected climax.
DEAR ABBY: Your recent answer to “History Buff’
was way off the mark as far as the origin of the expres-
sion “His name is mud.”
According to Tom Burnam’s book, "More Misinforma
tion,” the fact is that the expression “His name is mud”
dates back to the 1820s and derives from an even older
meaning of “mud,” according to Eric Partridge—a dull
fellow or a fool. Partridge cites an 1823 quotation: “And
his name is mud!"
Since Lincoln was shot in 1865, the expression obviously
predates Dr. Samuel Mudd, the physician who treated
John Wilkes Booth, who broke his leg while trying to
escape after shooting Abraham Lincoln.
I hope you see fit to make a correction in your column
ANOTHER HISTORY BUFF
DEAR BUFF: I had better “see fit” or my name
will be mud.
DEAR ABBY: I was recently a bridesmaid at the wed
ding of a close friend. Instead of buying ready-made
bridesmaids’ dresses, she insisted they be custom-made.
On the morning of the wedding, the bridesmaids’ dresses
weren’t finished because the seamstress got the flu, so the
bride rushed around and found another seamstress who
basted the dresses so they would be at least wearable.
Needless to say, my dress didn’t fit, and I had to walk
down the aisle pinned, basted and looking awful!
I had paid $110 in advance for the dress. After the
wedding, $50 of my $110 was returned to me because of
what happened.
When the bride came back from her honeymoon she
called to say I owed her $10 for the seamstress who threw
my dress together! Abby, it was the bride’s idea to have
the dresses custom-made in the first place, so I think she
should pay for a second seamstress.
For $110 I could have bought a ready made dress that
fit. I think my friend had a lot of nerve, don’t you? What
should I do?

DEAR DR LAMB My
sister was diagnosed as hav-
ing von Recklinghausen's
disease w hen she was 19 She
had one lump the size of a
pea Now. 10 years later, her
body is covered with the
ugly lumps, some the size of
quarters. She's been told
there's no treatment other
than surgery to remove the
larger ones
She's been told it s heredi-
tary. but nobody on either
side of the family remem-
bers anyone having it What
are the chances of our chil-
dren having it” My sister
decided not to have children
because of it, but my
younger sister and I have
children
DEAR READER Most
people will remember this
disorder as characterized by
John Merricks struggle
made known in the movie.
The Elephant Man No
case that severe has been
reported since then
Those little lumps are
benign tumors of peripheral
nerves. When they grow,
they can cause disfigure-
ment. Many people have
mild cases that may cause
small brown spots or small,
unnoticeable tumors. And
many people who have the
disorder don’t even know it
Yes. it s inherited, but in
about 50 percent of the cases
it's the result of a genetic
mutation during the baby’s
original development, rather
than being passed on by the
parents That may have hap-
pened in your sister's case
The National Neurofibro-
matosis Foundation will pro-
vide information on this
upon request, at 70 W 40 St .

DEAR DISGUSTED: Give her the $10. Your friend
had a lot of nerve, but she also had a lot of pressure
on her wedding day.
DEAR DR LAMB I’m
an avid bicyclist, but fear 1
may have to give it up I
bike 50 miles a day, or aver-
age 300 miles a week My
problem is I've developed
varicose veins and they
seem to be getting worse
1 stand up throughout the
day on the job I wear hose
prescribed by a doctor, but
they don’t seem to help
If an operation is neces-
sary, would it hinder my
biking” Are those operations
successful” Is bike-riding
bad for veins”
DEAR READER From
a medical point of view, I’d
prefer you gave up standing
up throughout the day The
standing is far worse for
your veins than the hiking
When you stand, the blood
pools in your legs As the
blood accumulates in your
legs. it increases the pres-
sure inside the veins and
causes them to become over-
stretched. As that happens
the valves that keep the
blood from running back-
ward no longer work
By contrast, as you con-
tract your leg muscles the
muscles compress the veins
and literally milk the blood
up the leg toward your
heart. The pressure inside
the large veins falls as soon
as you start taking steps
The same is true of bicy-
cling. the pressure falls as
you begin to peddle
Whether surgery is neces-
sary depends on the state of
the veins An examination is
necessary Sclerosing agents
are sometimes injected into
superficial varicose veins in
the legs with good success
You'll understand your
problem and the difference
between deep and superfi-
cial varicose veins after
reading the Health Letter 5-
8. Varicose Veins, which I m
sending you Others who
want this issue can send 75
