Dear Ann Landers,
friend of mine who is normally quiet-in fact, you might even say depressed-showed up at a party last week in very high spirits. I couldn't get over the change in her personality so I pulled her aside and asked what had come over her. She swore me to secrecy, took a pillbox out of her purse and showed me some capsules which she said had done wonders for her. I asked what was in the capsules, and she said she didn't know and didn't care. When I asked the name of the doctor who had recommended them she replied, "I got these from my cleaning woman. I wouldn't say a word to my doctor because he might not approve and I'd be down in the dumps again." I have never been one to take medicine. In fact, I'm one of those people who has to be dying before I will take an aspirin. I admit I am tempted to try these capsules just to see what they would do to me. Do you know anything about this sort of pepper-upper?-Need A Boost

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, this morning Mrs. Pain-in-the-Neck called me at 7:30 a.m. and said, “Your son left for High Point this morning and didn’t leave Marcella any money. He won’t be back until tomorrow and the poor girl hasn’t got a dime. I’ll have to take some money over to her right away.” Last week she called to tell me my son gave Marcella only one hour’s notice and brought three business friends home for cocktails. Marcella didn’t have any soda or lemons in the house. The place was a mess, and she didn’t even have time to comb her hair. Marcella happens to be a lazy, disorganized slob. I don’t want to become in-volved in their troubles, and I don’t want Mrs. Pain-in-the- Neck to tell me what goes on between them. What do you recommend?-H.J.K.
