Dear Ann Landers,
y new husband, "Dave," and my 21-year-old daughter, "Barbara," have become buddies. I think the way they dress around the house is entirely too suggestive. Dave wanders around in his jockey shorts, just like he did when he lived alone. At night, Barbara will flounce around in the living room, or even in our bedroom, wear-ing only a towel or an oversized T-shirt and perfume. I've voiced my disapproval, but neither sees anything wrong. Barbara tells me she sees 3 11 / ANN LANDERS more at her coed college dormitory. Dave says, "I'm wearing the same thing people wear at the beach." Maybe I'm prudish, but their underwear is not swimwear. Almost everything is visible in these outfits. My first husband never left the bedroom unless he was fully dressed. Shouldn't there be even more modesty between Barbara and her stepfather?

Dear Worried,
Barbara sounds like a seductive little wench, and your husband has popcorn where his brains belong. Tell your daughter to knock off the striptease, and let your husband know you will not tol-erate any more semi-nudity.
