Post in care of The Arizona Daily Star. DEAR MRS. POST: One of my relatives by marriage always wants to know what so-and-so gave my children for birthdays or Christmas or what I have Aunt Jane or Cousin Bob for this or that occasion. I resent this constant snooping and am running out of tactful answers.

I hope you come up with something good, because I may soon have to tell her, "It's none of your business." Gretta DEAR GRETTA: Short of saying just that, personal questions are hard to fend off tactfully. The questioner is in the wrong, but two wrongs don't make a right, so don't compound the error by being insulting. A non-committal, non-informative answer is the best solution. "I just don't remember right now," or "I'd have to look at my gift file" would turn away queries without hurt feelings. People often write, wondering why Bayless is no longer carrying a certain item or requesting that they add some special food to the stock.

"If the food is available by the case, we've told our managers to buy one for the customers." A question particular to Tucson is when the Oracle Road store will open. "We aren't sure because we're leasing the building rather than constructing it ourselves," Mrs. Bayless explained; "but we hope it will open this year." When a comment, particularly a question, crops up often enough, Mrs. Bayless plans to answer it in Bayless' newspaper food ads. Eventually she wants to include comments in her Direct Line column for the Food Times bulletin.

Food Times, available at all Bayless checkstands, comes out once a month and includes the month's best buys, new items added to Bayless stock, Checkstand Humor and bonus coupons, a different one for each week. In addition to Tucson and Phoenix, Bayless stores are found in Flagstaff, Sierra Vista, Douglas and Yuma. tions as possible in our stores," she said. The first suggestion to be put to use was a roll of paper towels in the produce department to dry off wet hands after selecting vegetables and fruits. "One of the most common requests we get is to put in some kind of an express line.

Just as soon as we get all the particulars settled, we're gong to add express lines, trying it first in Phoenix and Tucson. At some stores it may involve hiring an extra cashier; but if that's necessary, we'll do it," Mrs. Ray-less said. "I've also had about a dozen Direct Lines asking us to bring back the Nancy Parker recipes. Nancy Parker is a patented name owned by Bayless; and if enough people want them, we'll try to continue the series." Through the Direct Line.

Mrs. Bayless hopes to sound customers out about discontinuing Gold Bond Stamps, as it would probably lead to lower food prices. "The stamps were originally put in as a gift to the customer, but they do cost something," Mrs. Bayless said. "A survey early last fall indicated that people really want the stamps, despite higher casts." By ELIZABETH L.

POST DEAR MRS. POST: Many times when asked to lunch in a friend's house, I find a paper napkin carefully concealed inside of a linen napkin. 1 think this is in very poor taste. Am I wrong? Doris DEAR DORIS: I have never iseen a paper napkin folded into the linen one, and I hope I never do. The worst sort of snobbery is to pretend to be something you're not.

If a hostess can't afford to have napkins laundered or can't do it herself, she should serve paper ones openly it's nothing to be ashamed of. DEAR MRS. POST- As a birthday present I received a lovely dress. When I wore it to school everyone loved it. The next day my girl friend told me she bought the exact same dress but in a different color.

Though I didn't make a fnss, I wasn't too happy about it. Do you think it was right of her to buy the same dress on purpose? Lucille DEAR LUCILLE: No, I don't think it was right. Male MRS. A. J.

BAYLESS, sympathiies with the chairman of the board of directors for A. J. Bayless Marleh problems homemakers face at the supermarket. By MARTIE HUDSON Women shoppers are always complaining about the grocery store, and now they have a chance to do something about, it. Mrs.

A. J. Bayless, chairman of the board of A. J. Bayless Markets invites shoppers to voice their complaints, along with suggestions and requests, through the new Direct Line service.

Addressed post-paid post cards direct to Mrs. Bayless herself are available at each store. The program was initiated in February and Mrs. Bayless says it's the best thing that ever happened. "The response has been staggering! We had to hire another girl just to help with the typing," she said during a Tucson visit recently.

Mrs. Bayless has two fulHime typists to help her answer each card and letter personally. Mrs. Bayless usually goes to her office in Phoenix three days a week, but she's found she has to take her mail home the other days just to get through it all. "The purpose of the Direct Line is to find out what our shoppers wani and need.

We're going to try to incorporate as many sugges guests. But Mrs. Watson, who was done up in flowered shorts and a sleeveless shirt, knew the words, so she and her husband sang them. All of them. On key.

They also sang "Perfidia, and "Frere Jacques."

News Service ACAPULCO, Mexico Mr. and Mrs.

Eustaquio Escandon had what amounted to one of the world's most sophisticated little fiestas right out in their front yard here the other day. The Mexican industrialist-financier and his Italian-born wife rounded up a dozen friends and fed them an elegant buffet luncheon amid the sofas, flowers, paintings and pillows around the polished marble terrace that overlooks the blue-green waters of Acapulco Bay. Mrs. Escandon sang songs for her informally dressed guests and danced a little dance. The hostess, who glided forth in a brilliantly embroidered red and white Mexican robe with strands of bright green and red yarn braided into her black hair, sang old Mexican songs from a reclining position.

She was stretched out on a comfortable white leather chaise, profiled against the bay. Behind her stood that party essential the chauffeur who can also play the guitar.

"Everyone plays a little." The singing, all very quiet, wistful and in a minor key, began somewhere between the soup (puree of celery served cold) and the main dishes (beef with rice, a green salad and tacos spread with cold chicken, avocado, cheese, peppers and mashed black beans). When the bowls of homemade mango ice cream appeared everyone but the unobtrusive white shirted waiters was singing or humming. At one point, A.

K. (Dick) Watson, the International Business Machines executive, left the party long enough to change from yellow shorts into long pants. One pants leg was half yellow and half green. The other was half blue, half red. His sport shirt was azure blue and green plaid.
