Dear Ann Landers,
hen I was married in 1954,1 weighed 98 pounds. Unfortunately, I gained 30 pounds with each of my two children, and the weight just stayed on. Today I weigh 158 but I really don't look it. When I put on my good corset and wear heels and a black dress, you'd guess me at about 130. My husband makes me miserable because I am over-weight. Every time I reach for a second piece of butter or a baked potato, he makes an ugly remark. He is one of those wiry types who can still get into his Korean War uniform. Last Sunday he put it on to do the yard work just to make me mad. Why should I deprive myself of food to please a man who is so mean? I know several women who are overweight, but their husbands love them anyway. Please say he should accept me as I am. I get very depressed over his constant nagging.- Pleasingly Plump

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, and I am never any place I shouldn’t be. The other day I made some harmless remark about a waitress like, “That’s what I call a built broad.” Jessie blew her stack right there in the restau-rant. Last night it happened again. We were at a party and one of the guests brought her sister from Toledo. All I said was, “That girl should never wear anything but a sweater for 119 two very good reasons.” Jessie yanked me into the other room and told me if I didn’t stop talking rotten, she would “take steps.” Honest, Ann, I am just a fun-loving guy who doesn’t mean any harm. If you have any suggestions on how I can get along better with my wife, I’d like to hear them.-Eight Ball

"At every party there are two kinds of people - those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other."
