By MARA Lifeguards at Coney Island are besieged with questions coming from mothers fearful of al lowing their children to enter polluted waters.

A survey made yesterday, the second of Coney's biggest days this season, showed innumer. tole family groups contenting themselves with the breeze from the ocean, picnic lunch and digging in the sand. "People me if the water is polluted," related a youthful lifeguard. "I tell them, 'yes', the Board of Health said so. Then they ask me if it is dangerous but I tell them to figure that one out for themselves." Although the Board of Health recently named only the wasters at Sea Gate and South Beach, Staten Island, as having a high count of Pollution Threat Frightens Many Mothers at Coney Island; Youngsters Dig in Sand but Told to Keep Out of Water coliform bacteria, tests were reported made Said the mother of two small youngsters; yesterday at Coney Island off Stillwell Ave.

Outstanding designs among Neighbors Enjoy Contemporary Comment Surprise Concert By RUTH G.

DAVIS Society Editor Neighbors are nice to have, and particularly famous neighbors. In one of the prettiest settings on Long Island, Dogwood Hollow in Stony Brook, Eleanor Steber of the Metropolitan Opera Company, gave a concert to the delight of her neighbors. It vas what might be called a "perfect setup" for it was a gorgeous setting for a beautiful voice. Miss Steber, who to her neighbors is Mrs. Edward Bilby, selected songs from her repertoire that were most appropriate to the natural auditorium.

On the platform bedecked with garden flowers, Miss Steber looked lovely in a white Summer gown that had a draped underskirt. She was singing for neighbors who were her friends as well. Miss Steber's country home is in nearby Belle Terre. FOLLOWING THE MUSICAL, a supper party was given in honor of the Metropolitan Opera Star by Mr. and Mrs.

James A. Davidson of East Setauket. at the Riverside Inn, Smithtown. It was reminiscent of Diamond Jim's best day, and to give it that added touch there was present Edward Arnold, who has portrayed him on the screen. Among the special guests noted were Alex usual crowded condition on a hot day.

Concessionaires regard the water pollution report as "the usual scare at the beginning of the season." Said one: "This happens every year. Then people forget about it." They Don't Use It Several concession-owners questioned, admitted that they never have time to swim. "I've been here five years and never went in the water." said one. Concessionaires don't like talk about polluted water. It's bad enough for business to have rainy weather like we've been having," said Mrs.

Fanny Cohen, concessionaire. "Now polluted water. Then tomorrow the 10-cent fare!" she exclaimed with exasperation. Okay! Keep That Tax No Handbag for Us By GERTRUDE McALLISTER For the past two weeks we have gone purse-less, carry. ing only a little cosmetic kit.

This is our way of protesting the 20 percent tax on women's handbags--not particularly effective but it satisfies us. Every time we find a nickle (a dime beginning today) for subway fare without having to wade through a great deal of clutter -there being no room in a cosmetic kit for anything but bare essentials- feel we've told Congress off, all right! And, of course. we do get around and occasionally someone, asks, "You're not carrying a handbag-how do you manage?" Well, to tell the truth, it is a trifle inconvenient. There's no room for note paper. There's no room for cigarettes.

There's only room for money, compact, lipstick and comb and that with a tight squeeze. SOMETIME AGO WE from a different angle--a never slapped them with a They are no different from a wouldn't listen to reason, our is now out of session and until go purse-less. Sooner or later, Congress about that tax. This being had better mend their high My vote is in nobody's pocket. ATTACKED this 20 percent tax man's pants pockets.

Of course, Congress it reconvenes, we will try to just has to do something an election year, those boys handed ways with us women. PLEASE NOTE--We hope you won't mind but like everyone else, we, too, find the heat insufferable and it seems like a lot of tommyrot to be talking about Fall styles. Sitting in the salons of high fashion these days doesn't make sense.

Models, who have our deepest sympathy, traipse by, their throats wrapped in mink scarfs. You know, it is almost inhuman. And right now, of course, there isn't a bathing suit or cotton show going on anywhere! It's a silly business and we find it difficult to fall in.

"GOING PLACES?" PHONE MA. 4-6200 FOR IDEAS Mother-in-Law Gives Haworth's Mail Wife Some Trouble DEAR MARY HAWOR -My husband's mother, Mrs. is a very energetic, capable woman. She has always been very kind, to me and I have tried to treat her as I do my Thelown mother, but, to be perfectly honest, I inwardly rebel against her. I find her dynamic personality very wearing to be with for any length of time, and for that reason her frequent, insistent invitations are becoming a great problem to me.

She invites us months in advance to visit her home on certain dates, which, of course, leaves us no "out." and though we spend more time with her than we do with my family, I know from her continual comments Mary Haworth that she feels neglected. Wife Feels Small Abount Resentment If we spend a day or two at my home, we soon receive a letter from her which mentions that my folks still have a son at home, whereas she and her husband are all alone now. She often comments, "We would do anything in the world for you," and it is true. She is constantly doing things for us, and though feel small to admit it, I resent many of the things she does. Occasionally she has sent us cooked roasts through the mail, and she makes clothes for our son that I am embarrassed to have him wear.

Incidentally, we are financially secure on a moderate income. I think my husband feels much as I do. V. B. Mother Is Fighting Fear of Rejection Dear V.

B. -Sympathetic tolerance of foibles is the substance of success in human relations, therefore the adult attitude to bring to those whose activities overlap one's own. Thus in relation to Mrs. I suggest. you bear in mind the aforesaid truth, as first at all times in accommodating yourself to her concentration of interest in your household, and to the homespun love she presses upon you, which are expressive of her resistance to her unconscious fear of becoming the "forgotten woman" in her son's life.

It is also important, however, to sympathetically accept your own inward rebellious feelings of "I wish she wouldn't." That is to say, you shouldn't feel guilty (or small) because Templeton and Mrs. Templeton, Helen Traubel, Dorothy and Herbert eld, Felix Knight but OF COURSE there were Brooklynites the Anthony McAllisters, the James McAllisters, Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Etzel, Mrs. Edward Ward MacMahon, and her two sons, Tom and Jim MacMahon, Mr.

Birgel. A VERY SPECIAL, GRADUATION party was given by Miss Florielou Griffin, of Mrs. Frank Ellsworth Griffin of 1098 E. 17th St. and the late Mr.

Griffin, at her Summer home at Pilgrim Lodge, Essex, Conn. The recent graduate of Adelphi College entertained eight young women who were graduated with her on June 16. They were Merle Stickeler of Brooklyn and Manasquan, N. J. Marion Liotta of Brooklyn, Jane Homer of East Rockaway, Joan Squires and Emily Mary Goodwin of Rockville Center, Mary Lou Post of Freeport, Bea Nuovo of Flushing and Geraldine Arizzo of Jackson Heights.

The week was spent swimming and boating and was highlighted with the initiation of the girls to Pilgrim Lodge, continuing until3 a.m! And all the time old fashioned games such as coffee pot and musical instruments were played. you don't feel grateful. Wife's Entitled to Her Feelings As you evaluate your feelings objectively, recognizing their right to exist, as a perfectly normal private reaction to pestering, you will be more at peace with yourself, hence better organized, psychologically, to deal philosophically with Mrs. B. No doubt Mrs.

B's exertions leave your husband bored and thankless, too, wishing she wouldn't treat him as a schoolboy, yet also feeling guilty about his supposed ingrate reactions. For advice: Without anxiety, apology or hostility, take a tranquit stand on behalf of your adult married right to plan your social calendar (or keep it open) with principal reference to your own ideas of how to invest your time to best advantage, while showing equitable consideration to all branches of the family. And that means (1) not feeling booked or hooked by her invitations issued months in advance, and (2) remaining unmoved by her nagging complaints about your other interests. M. H..
