18 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 12, 1967 Dear Ann Landers: The out- burst from the New York attor- ney who complained about the too tight, too short skirts on broad-beamed women prompts my first letter to a newspaper. He has a point and I would not deny it, but I feel the blame should be placed where it be- longs--squarely on the manufac- turers of women's clothes. To begin with, the manufacturers operate on the theory that all women are built like (God for- bid) Twiggy What's-Her-Name. If my 17-year-old daughter was five feet six and weighed 91 pounds, Id rush her to the hos- pital. Any middle-aged woman who has tried to buy clothes lately knows that the dresses are cut for flat-chested, slim - hipped bean poles, Last week I spent the better part of two days shor g for a simple afternoon t. Everything I tried on was short and too tight across the bust. I weigh 115 and am not over-endowed. Finally, in 1 the saleswoman , "As you can see, Ma- bosoms are out this dame, year." So please, Ann Landers, put the blast on the people who manufacture women's dresses. Ask them to give some consid-| eration to the middle-aged fe-| male who wants to look stylish! but not Way - Out Kooksville.| Thank you.--Voice of America} Dear Voice: Here's your let-| ter, and I hope Women's Wear} Daily and othet publications} will take time out from insult-} ing Mrs. Hubert Humphrey (who makes many of her own] dresses and does a beautiful job) of it) to take note of your letter | and pass the word.

She says any girl who does not marry in the traditional white is admitting she has not earned the privilege. I say this is a lot of apple- sauce.

I like her and I want to be her friend.--Mean Well Dear Mean: If you want to be her friend, be quiet. It's her home, her piano, her grandchil- dren and her Spanish shawl. It's also her taste.
