So, she is supposed to be uncomfortable in her own home just to make her manchild husband feel better about himself? It is her hair; she can do what she wants with it. I wonder if her husband is some sort of Adonis after 20 years of marriage. I bet not, but she isn't asking him to change things about himself. Women, know your worth! — TERRI IN IOWA DEAR TERRI: Interestingly, the 'colourful' responses I received about that letter were evenly divided. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Why is 'Silver Girl' so against colouring her hair for her husband? He obviously loves her and loves the red hair. When did women get so touchy? We do things for our spouses to show our love. If he were my husband, I'd dye my hair green if he asked. I would love the fact that he loved my hair. 'Silver' should remember that there are many ladies out there who would dye-banish the grey for a good man. — NATURAL REDHEAD IN CALIFORNIA This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. DEAR ABBY: 'Silver Girl' recognizes that grey hair ages her appearance. She coloured it to appear younger and more competitive in her workplace before she retired. Did she care more about her colleagues' opinions than that of her own husband? Does the fact that it makes him feel older not matter to her? — 'GOLDIE' IN NEVADA RECOMMENDED VIDEO DEAR ABBY: Of course we all have the right to be who and how we want to be, but many of us, crazy in love with our husbands, go the extra mile to keep their engines running. Knowing they love us AND desire us as much as we do them is a turn-on. 'Silver' is lucky her husband expresses himself, although he could use some lessons on finesse. — ECSTATIC WIFE IN MICHIGAN DEAR ABBY: 'Silver' was grey-haired when she met her husband. When it comes to body autonomy, we need to please ourselves. If he's having issues with getting older, maybe he should talk to someone about what's causing him to feel that way. Aging gracefully should be the norm, not the exception. — CAROLE IN WASHINGTON DEAR ABBY: In my family, we refer to grey hair as 'wisdom highlights.' — SMILING IN MAINE — Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Dear Abby: Does coloring one's hair impact affection in a relationship?
DEAR ABBY: Regarding 'Silver Girl in New York' (Jan. 5), whose husband is making her feel less loved because she decided to not color her hair anymore, this is her decision to make, not his.

In once sleepy West Acton, Silver Girl shines
Silver Girl owners Tamara DeLuzio (left) and Dawn Aguiar in their Acton restaurant. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff Now, places like True West Brewery, West Side Creamery, and stylish sandwiches and cheeses at Eve & Murray's enliven the scene. Dawn Aguiar and Tamara DeLuzio opened Eve & Murray's in 2021; Silver Girl, around the corner, is their first standalone restaurant. Aguiar says that the stream of young families who flock from urban areas to Acton for the schools made the venture seem like a safe bet. Advertisement 'A lot of people told us: 'To go to a date night spot, we have to drive to Groton. What if you could walk to your local cocktail bar?'' Aguiar says. 'We have people thrilled to have a place like they could have gone to in the city.' Picture the old Cuchi Cuchi in Cambridge, maybe: chartreuse settees, gold-framed prints of bygone World's Fairs, mismatched but elegant silverware, indigo walls, moon-and-star signage evoking a tarot deck. As for the name? It's a lyric from Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' though it's smooth sailing so far. The restaurant has been so busy at dinner that the team recently expanded to lunch. Of note: Silver Girl is only open Thursday through Sunday, so plan accordingly. (They do take reservations.) The popover starter at Silver Girl in Acton. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff What to eat : 'This is food from my heritage: My mom is from Louisiana, and my dad is Sicilian,' says Aguilar, who's also the executive chef. She's joined by Aya Hashimoto Alexander, who's worked at 80 Thoreau and Craigie on Main. The concentrated, curated menu does lilt Southern: At dinner, there are six entrees, including Creole cassoulet with duck leg confit ($32) and seafood gumbo ($32), plus a handful of appetizers like popovers with onion jam and Aleppo pepper butter ($6) and Caesar salad, generous with the anchovies ($13). The sign outside of Silver Girl in Acton. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff Lunch entrees ($13 and up) are more casual: a po' boy with cornmeal-crusted shrimp on crusty French bread with house-brined pickles; a heaping, hot Nashville chicken sandwich on a potato roll that's almost candied, it's so divinely sweet; an andouille sausage sandwich bedaubed with grainy mustard, showcasing Eve & Murray's provisions. Advertisement During the day, order at the bar and wait to be served, probably by the vivacious mixologist, Sailor Walker, who stirs, shakes, and alights at each table, delivering colorful drinks over crushed ice, pierced with metallic golden straws. Walker seems to know many of the customers, including one gentleman who wants to debate the finer points of poultry spice while settling his tab. There's an unpolished but endearing feel to the place, like you walked into someone's house for a dinner party about 20 minutes before start time. The cheese board at Silver Girl in Acton. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff What to drink : 'A huge part of what we do is cocktails,' Aguilar says. Fortunately, Walker used to work at Bully Boy Distillers. Sample several types of Amari; sip a gin-based lemon bar cocktail with lemon meringue foam ($16); or revel in a vast selection of light-and-bright mocktails like The Echo ($13), a tall, tart swill of zero-proof amaro lucano, blackberry, and pineapple poured over crushed ice. Silver Girl bartender Sailor Walker makes a drink behind the bar at the Acton restaurant. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff The takeaway : A free-spirited nook that would be right at home in the South End or Central Square. I'm envious of my Actonian successors. Silver Girl, 251 Arlington St., Acton, 978-274-2904, The 'Supernova' cocktail with amaro, cognac, macerated plums, and saffron at Silver Girl in Acton.
