My parents have been divorced for 12 years, and my mother and her family pretty much raised me. Not long ago, my mom told me she thought I should Dear change my last Ahhv name 80 our MPPy whole family has Abigail Vje same one. Van Ri irpn Abbv- why dldn 4 van buren she think of this when I was I'm used to my other last name.

The other reason this is hard is that just a few months ago, I visited my dad's side of the family. I learned many things from and about them, and now I feel closer to them. I don't want to hurt their feelings. What should I do? No New Name in Oregon DEAR NO NEW NAME: It is difficult to understand why your mother has waited so long to suggest a name change. Of course you are used to your last name.

Perhaps there is a legal reason your mother has proposed this. If not, ask her to consider a compromise and let you hyphenate the two names. Good luck. What does 'closing' mean? DEAR ABBY: I'm writing about the letter from the diner who was rushed through dinner. Abby, in some restaurants the posted closing time means that is the time the kitchen closes; in oth- ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE: pects us to supply her with school pictures of our children.

That is a problem because she insists on getting the large pictures that fit the frames she bought years ago. Abby, the large pictures are not in our budget, and she hasn't offered to help pay for them. The other grandparents are delighted with whatever pictures they receive, but not my mother. Can you offer advice on how to handle the unrealistic demands? Picture-Pressured DEAR PICTURE-PRESSURED: Tell your mother that providing the size pictures she requests would create a financial hardship. Be firm in letting her know that if she wants large photographs, she must pay for them.

Then let the chips fall where they may. Abigail Van Buren is a columnist for Universal Press Syndicate. To be considered for publication, letters must include your name and phone number. Write to her at Box 69440, Los Angeles CA 90069. ers, the kitchen closes 15 to 30 minutes before the restaurant closes.

I paid my way through beauty school by working in restaurants, and every one of them meant something different by the sign on the door. I now run a hair salon, and our hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. We take our first appointment at 8:30 a.m. and the last at 5:15 (but it must be a simple, quick procedure such as a comb-out).

I understand that clients want to know when they can come, not when I go home. However, the salon down the street posts a sign that closing time is 5:30 p.m., and they mean they want to get out the door at 5:30. The best one can do in this crazy world is to ask what the hours mean. Joan in Tucson DEAR JOAN: Thanks. Once again, the sage counsel is one we've all heard a million times.

Describe your fantasy life to someone close, and become even more intimate. You and a colleague develop a more fluent communication style. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There's a shorter route to success than the one you've been taking a personal relationship may lead to career advancement. Tonight, it is better to cuddle with a loved one than to discuss the relationship ad nauseam. GEMINI (May 21 -June 21): Logical choices are clear to you but not necessarily to a partner.

You may be inspired to journey into your childhood to dispel theories that no longer serve you. Making money seems to get in the way of your fun plansl CANCER (June 22-July 22): Keep your mind on work, and important strides can be made. Celebrate the mini-victories, and the big ones come more quickly. Dissecting a relationship should be done on your own time. Don't get too personal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You're the kind of person others will make sacrifices to please. Be appreciative about every little gesture. You rewrite history but will be corrected later. Resist the urge to be a drama king or queen this afternoon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A small but meaningful realization subtly changes your life. You are starting to consider things that never occurred to you before. Love alters a professional relationship, so be careful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): An overly elaborate plan is no fun to pull off. Be reasonable, and you'll have a blast making things happen. You can avert financial discomfort by double-checking records.

Investigate all options regarding insurance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your emphasis on process over results makes you an esteemed co-worker or boss. In friendships, you could get caught in the middle.

A little diplomacy softens the bitter truth. A child desperately needs encouragement. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A loved one's off-beat approach is not an attack on your own methods; be flexible.

Your advice is sought after by so many that you should consider being a coach or consultant. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may long to travel but need more money to really do it right. Aim for the middle of next month.

Nostalgia leads to romance, but you are better off focusing on love that will enrich your future. Avoid incurring a debt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 1 8): If you enable someone to give less than his or her best, you lose, too.

Putting yourself first doesn't mean you are selfish. Encourage expression among children, even if it means they make lots of noise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If your schedule, thoughts or things are disorganized, your life will be, too. Get straight with the world, or you'll feel like your efforts are futile.

Flirting is one thing you are accomplished at, but someone wants more. If today is your birthday: You don't want to train for life anymore you want to live it. October is for healing the past so you can embrace a new December relationship. Educational pursuits end, and you embark on your adventurous new path in November. Business contacts are big producers in January.
