Show 1 Monday. May 1, 2000, THE DAILY HEJULfl, (www.HariTheHerald.com), Dear Ann Landers: I have been dating "Garth" for four years. We are both divorced, single parents, and we get along great. I am 44, and Garth is 49. Dear N.Y.: In my opinion, you would be wise to break up with Garth. You want marriage, and he wants a playmate. If he asks you to O "V reconsider, don't negotiate. Stick with your position. I am betting Garth will come around. If he doesn't, don't lose any sleep. He wasn't worth the time and energy. Ann Landers see each other the way we did before I moved in, but I simply cannot handle this. I told him when I move out, it's all over between us. I have always been upfront about wanting to get married, and he knew I would not wait forever. Now, I realize if he could not manage to live with me for three months, marriage is probably out of the question. Garth says I am being ridiculous to end : relationship good over this. Am I wrong to break it off, Ann? I realize I would be losing a very special relationship, but at my age, I don't think I Adoption is matchmaker for pets, owners Dear Abby: Please tell readers your animal-lovineverywhere to mark their cal- endars.

Dear Abby: Have you ever heard of a "weight-losshower"? The premise of the shower is a celebration of weight loss. The individual hosting the shower has lost 30 pounds, and this definitely is s cause for celebration. The "catch" to this shower is that the guests are expected to bring monetary gifts so the hostess can buy a new wardrobe to fit her smaller figure. I would love to hear what you and your readers think about such a shower.

Firefighters arrived at about 9:45 p.m. Friday and found smoke billowing from the roof.

The office space also contained some memorabilia. Gifts from fans were on display throughout the building, and the upstairs corridor featured mementos from Brown's career.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS ; not accuse Cochran of violating legal ethics or lying in court, the judge said. Referring to Cochran's lead role in the successful defense of Simpson on double murder charges, Peyser wrote that he was part of a team of "legal scoundrels" who "dazzled a Los Angeles jury into buying his fantasy tale of a city wide police conspiracy, in order to set free a celebrity who slaughtered his Cochran's $10 million libel suit said the column accused him of unethical conduct in the legal profession. But U.S. District Judge Kim Wardlaw dismissed the suit without a trial, saying any reasonable reader would recognize that Peyser was simply expressing her "contempt for Cochran and his trial tactics" an expression that could not be proven true or false.

Utah Av, Piyion The case stems from a 1996 federal civil rights suit filed by the photographers after they scuffled with the actor at an airport in Martha's Vineyard, Mass. Harrelson said he tried to grab one man's camera after the man ignored his request not to photograph his daughter. Allstate allegedly withdrew its defense of Harrelson just before the lawsuit went to trial in 1998. Harrelson claims Allstate attorneys should have represented him because he had a "deluxe homeowner's policy" to protect himself against personal injury suits. Harrelson also claims errors by Allstate lawyers forced him to pay about $3,000 in damages to the photographers and $80,000 in legal fees to their attorneys. The insurer's negligence cost him an additional $150,000 in legal fees of his own, he claims.
