DEAR ABBY: Please say something to those ill-mannered people who have the disgusting habit of coughing without covering their mouths. The other night my husband and I attended a play for which we paid $37 a ticket, but we could not enjoy the play because this woman behind us coughed on our necks repeatedly.

We got results (temporarily) after we turned around and glared at her. I recently quit a volunteer job that I really enjoyed delivering Meals on Wheels. Why? Because the driver never covered his mouth when he coughed. My son complains that a irl who sits next to him at work does le same thing. How would you handle this situation? Would you hand the person a tissue? Or just courteously say, "Would you please cover your mouth when you cough?" It would be embarrassing to me to have to do either.

On the other hand, if the person is so rude, he deserves to be reminded of his manners. I'VE HAD IT. DEAR HAD IT: Why not do both? Hand the offender a tissue and request that heshe use it while coughing. It's not what you do, it's the way you do it. CONFIDENTIAL TO RUSS IN MAUI: It's not always better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

It depends on what you've lost. who had the right idea years ago: DEAR ABBY: Re choosing up teams: I taught school from 1914 through 1963. My method: The last one chosen becomes captain of the next team. No one was ever last more than once. MURIEL LINK, AGE 90.

SPRINGFIELD, VT. DEAR ABBY: This is the first time I've written to you. I don't know where else to turn. Our daughter, who has just turned 18, has informed me that she and her boyfriend are planning to go camping together with friends this summer. I'm not naive, and I don't for one moment believe that they will be sleeping in seperate tents.

My problem is this: Do we, as parents, have a right to forbid her to go? We are still supporting her and are paying for her schooling. NOT NAIVE DEAR NOT NAIVE: You have ev-ery right to forbid her to go since you are supporting her, and she is living under your guardianship. However, if you suspect that your daughter is already sexually active or is about to be I hope you have discussed with her the importance of "safe sex" in order to protect herself from an unwanted pregnancy andor venereal disease. If you have not, you must. Let her know that you are not condoning premarital sex, but as a responsible parent you do not want her to risk her future, her health, and DEAR ABBY: My heart ached for the little boy whose teacher appointed two captains to choose up teams, and he was always chosen last.

I'm 67 now, and when I read that letter, all the feelings of humiliation, anger and anxiety came flooding back like it was yesterday. I was always one of the last to be chosen for sports because I was small and poorly coordinated. I wanted to die when teams were chosen because when it got down to the last two kids, I was always one of them. Once I sneaked out of the room and went to the restroom and cried. Another time I forced myself to throw up so I could go to the nurse's room to escape this cruelty.

I'm amazed that this humiliating system of choosing teams is still going on. I hope teachers everywhere will see this and realize how damaging it is to a child's self-esteem, and put an end to that brutal practice. CHOSEN LAST DEAR CHOSEN: I hope so, too. I heard from teachers everywhere who offered unique (and face-saving) ways to choose up teams.
