DEAR MISS MANNERS —
I was dining today ia a very
small restaurant, where there
is no bar, foyer or other
waiting area. A business and
social acquaintance came in
and shrieked, in front of my
two companions whom she
had mever met, “You don’t
need that whipped cream. I
don’t know how you can eat
that at your size.”’

' She then proceeded to in-
form me and my startled
companions that she had
recently’ embarked on the
(name your favorite Peopie

diet, and offered me the
telephone number of ithe
person she said would be
able to “help” me.

information, about their

forget. those who would
prescribe - our clothing and
shades of eye shadow. °:

advice on' how to ‘politely
repel the intrusions © and

Miss Manners appreciates
the fact that you did not
return this rudeness with
