Dear Ann Landers,
hy do you point an accusing finger at any man who happens to prefer some article of women's cloth-ing? Some men enjoy a soft, smooth fabric next to their skin. Somewhere along the line men got stuck with cotton under-wear. I can assure you if men's silk shorts were not so expen-sive, they would outsell cotton shorts by the carload. Shortly after I married, my wife was making a dress for herself. We are both the same height. She asked me to put on her dress so 220 she could pin the hem properly. I like the feel of the silk dress and asked her if she would make one for me to lounge in. Now I have several lounging dresses, and they are much more comfortable than slacks and a T-shirt. I'm not a fairy and I resent the inference that any man who wears women's clothes is a little funny.-Dyersville, Iowa

Dear Dy,
My haberdashery expert tells me cotton shorts are plenty soft enough for anybody and that most men prefer cotton shorts to the sleazier fabrics. I would not try to change the mind of a guy who sits around in his wife's dresses, how-ever, so enjoy yourself, Bub.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
