Dear Ann Landers,
bout three months ago I hired the daughter of a friend to do secretarial work. She's a poor typist, handles the phone poorly, can't spell, and she has never heard of the comma. "Lady Astor" came in late three mornings last week and takes three hours for lunch. Her father has done me many favors and I value his friendship. He would be very unhappy if I fired her. He believes she is brilliant and has told me repeatedly that she loves her job. Please answer in the paper. The moron opens my mail.-In A Spot

Dear Spot,
You have on your payroll a girl who can't spell, type, or handle the phone, comes in late and takes three hours for lunch. And you call her a moron? Give "Lady Astor" her walking papers. A friendship that hinges on keeping an in-competent relative isn't worth worrying about. 96 am a genuine Indian princess.
