Long Name Is a Mouthful,
And Apparently a Handful
By Abigail Van Buren
1993 Universal Press Syndicate
NEA
DEAR ABBY When I read the
letter from Mrs. Dow who was
amazed at the number of people
who mispronounced and misspelled
her name. I had to smile
I sympathize with her. Then 1
read the letter from Mr. and Mrs.
Solomon, who tried to explain that
their name should be easy to
remember because of King
Solomon; then they started to get
mail addressed to ’Mr and Mrs
King."
Well, my name is Andrea Guas-
tadisegni, which is not easy to spell
or pronounce. I once ordered some-
thing over the telephone and
requested that it be sent to my
home. I asked the salesperson if she
was writing it, or putting it in a
computer She said she was writing
it, so 1 said, “Please write small
because my name is long." Then I
spelled it for her
Sure enough, a few days later. I
received the merchandise addressed
to “Mrs. Long."

giver. Once the condition is fulfilled
i she marries the man), the ring
becomes the property of the woman
— no strings attached
If the woman breaks the engage-
ment. she must return the ring. If
the man breaks the engagement,
the woman gets to keep the ring.
This is not just a generous gesture;
it is the law in most states —
including Illinois.

DEAR ABBY: I have a son-in-
law who has never worked steadily,
consequently he has never provided
for my daughter (Anne) and their
children. Due to Anne’s religious
convictions (we are Catholic), she
has supported this lazy, irresponsi-
ble deadbeat for many years The
situation makes me angry.
My problem, however, is how to
respond to the people in this small
town when they ask. "What is Sam
(not his real namedoing now?”
I don't want to give a rude
answer, but the question is very
embarrassing How should 1
respond?
G RAN NY
DEAR GRANNY: Simply say,
“Sam is between jobs at the
moment.”
DEAR READERS: I’m getting
a lot of flak from readers object-
ing to my advice to “Broken*
hearted Wife" — married 5 1/2
years to a man she dearly loved.
Hubby is a big basketball fan,
she is not, and since he had sea-
son tickets (for two), he asked
his wife if she objected to his
taking a female co-worker to a
game. Although the wife was
hurt, she said it was OK.
When the next basketball
game came up, hubby said he'd
like to take the same female co-
worker. so I advised “Broken-
hearted Wife” to have a long
talk with her husband, tell him
how she felt about his taking
this lady to another game, and 1
suggested that they see a mar-
riage counselor, or it could be
the beginning of the end of their
marriage.
Well _ did 1 get letters telling
me it was perfectly OK for mar-
ried men to have female friends,
and there was no reason for me
to assume that this could be
damaging to their marriage.
OK, perhaps my reply was a bit
old-fashioned and distrustful: so
for those who think a ~mea
culpa” is in order, will this do?
DEAR ABBY: Concerning
engagement rings: An engagement
ring is considered a gift to a woman,
conditioned on her marrying the

Told Mom You Appreciate Her Lately? Lifescope
Says, "Tell Her More Than Once-A-Year!"
Honor your father and mother, that you may have a long, good life
in the Land the Lord your God will give you. You must respect your
mothers and fathers . . . Listen to your father who begot you, and do not
despise your mother when she is old. Buy the truth, and do not sell it,
also wisdom and instruction and understanding. The father of the
righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will delight
in him. Let your father and your mother be glad, and let her who bore
you rejoice.
The words of King Lemuel, the lesson which his mother taught
him... Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to what
destroys kings. It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink and
forget what is decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted . . .
Speak up for the dumb, for the cause of those who are left desolate; speak
up, judge righteously and defend the rights of the poor and needy.
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than
rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of
value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She
provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She
considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at
night . . . She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hand to the
needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them
arc clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in
fine linen and purple . . . She is clothed with strength and dignity; she
can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful
instruction is on her tongue She watches over the affairs of her
household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and
call her blessed; her husband also, and be praises her: 'Many women do
noble things, but you surpass them all.' Charm is deceptive, and beauty
is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her
the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city
gate.

Try nasal spray to fight allergies
By Peter H. Gott. M D
DEAR DR GOTT I’ve suffered for
15 years with rhinitis I ve taken aller-

DEAR READER Rhinitis, inflam

congestion and a mucus discharge,
can result from infections or allergies
Although annoying, the symptoms are
not senous or dangerous.
If you have tned allergy shots, anti-
histamines and salt water lavage of
your nostnls — all without benefit —
you should ask your doctor about a
steroid nasal spray in my experience.
Vancenase Nasal Inhaler usually
reduces such symptoms, especially
during times of the year when you’re
particularly bothered by allergies The
spray is safe when used according to
the manufacturer’s directions

DEAR POLLY — Is it necessary to
peel asparagus? — EVAN
DEAR EVAN — It's not necessary,
but sometimes it's desirable. There
are two schools of thought on aspara-
gus. One is to simply break off the
end of the stem where it naturally
snaps, nip off the little scales along
the stalk where bits of dirt sometimes
lurk, then wash it thoroughly. The
other is to thinly peel the stalk,
removing the skin which occasionally
can taste a bit strong. Peeled aspara-
gus also looks very elegant The bene-
fit of peeling is that you can peel thin-
ly near the top. then more deeply as
you near the bottom of the stalk,
removing the tough outer layer of the
lower sulk. That way you don't have
to break off as much of the stem as
you normally would.
I sometimes peel when I want the
asparagus to look especially fancy,
but I find it a tedious job and usually
avoid doing it. However, I often put
the broken-off stem ends in a plastic
bag in the refrigerator to peel later
and cook for adding to a salad or for
making asparagus soup. 1 confess
that when I recently prepared four
pounds of asparagus for a party, the
thought of peeling all of that aspara-
gus was simply too daunting. Instead,
I broke, nipped and washed it, and
the asparagus was lovely and deli-
cious. — POLLY
RECIPE OF THE WEEK —
Memorial Day is traditionally cele-
brated with the year's first cookout or
picnic. This homemade lemon-cus-
tard ice cream is a luscious refresh-
ing ending to summer's first party.
Combine 1 1/4 cups sugar, 3 table-
spoons flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt in
a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Gradually
stir in 2 1/2 cups milk. Cook over
medium heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture is thickened. Boil
and stir for 2 minutes. Stir a small
amount of the hot mixture into 3 beat-
en eggs. Return the milk-egg mixture
to the pan and cook - • heat for
1 minute, stirring c y. Do not
boil. Place in a larg ind blend
in 2 cups heavy cre 2/3 cup
fresh lemon juice. itil cold.
Freeze in an ice freezer
according to manul ‘s direc-
tions. After freezin sfer ice
cream to a plastic fr ntainer.
Keep it in the freezer at least three
hours before serving. This makes
approximately 2 quarts ice cream.
Homemade ice cream is easy and
really delicious, and my recipe
