SYLVIA DEAR SYLVIA: It would be perfectly proper to ask your family friend to give you away and certainly, you may invite your father as a guest. A law school graduate who got a job with one'of the biggest law . firms in the world was staggered by the number of lawyers it employed em-ployed . Finally, he approached one of the younger ones . ' How on earth do you ever get noticed around here?" he asked. 'Well." said the young man, "one way is go to our annual outing and hit a home run in the softball game." The Reader's Digest. A woman who runs a nursery school was delivering a station-wagon station-wagon load of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting on the front seat was a dalmatian dog. The children fell to discussing the dog's duties. ' They use him to keep the crowds back," said one five-year-old. "hfo," said another, "he's justfor good luck." A third child brought the argument to an end. "They use the dog" he said firmly, "to find the fire plug!" Dear Sally By Sally Shaw DEAR SALLY: What about a husband who is forever at the beck and call of his mother? Mind you, it isn't the fact he repairs up with these fellows. These poor husbands are stuck at home babysitting baby-sitting while their wives are out living it up. Isn't this a poor state of affairs? HAROLD. DEAR HAROLD: What a ball these women are having! After attending to their children, their housework, laundry, ironing, cooking, and shopping, they are then allowed to spend eight hours every night in a factory! What rare luck! I'll bet that if their husbands were financially able to swing it, more than 95 per cent of these women would be at home and love it! DEAR SALLY: I have just received an unsigned typewritten note, very brief and to the point: "How much do you know about the romance between your husband and the redhead in his office?" My husband and I have been very happily married for ten years? he's always been the most devoted, kindest, and thoughtful of men, and never before have I had any reason to suspect him of cheating. The only nights he goes anywhere without with-out me is on his bowling nights. My common sense tells me to ignore this letter, but I'm still all shaken up over it. Do you think I should take any action? JITTERY. DEAR JITTERY. Anonymous letters are written by the lowest of the low, and you should pitch this one out of your life and mind. Its reaction upon you is just what its vicious sender wanted in the first place. Snap out-it! DEAR SALLY: I am a divorced woman who has been criticized for continuing to use my former husband's name -- especially in view of the fact that he has . remarried and I am sometimes confused with his present wife. Am I in the wrong for still using his name? LIZ. ' . DEAR LIZ. You have a perfect right to continue using his name, if you wish. You can eliminate confusion with his present wife by doing as many other divorced women do, inserting your maiden name. Thus, if a girl's original name was Virginia Preston, and her married name was Woods, she may be known as Mrs. Virginia Preston Woods. DEAR SALLY: I'm to be married soon, and here's my little problem: My parents have been divorced for ten years, and I haven't seen my father in all that time, nor do I have any regard or affection for him. He still lives in town, but I don't want him to give me away at my wedding. I'd like very much to ask a very dear bachelor friend of ours who has been wonderful to us through the years. Do you think it would things and runs errands for his mother. I'm all for devotion between son and mother. But my man never does a thing at home, and many a meal my children and I sit through alone, simply because my husband has jumped to answer a call from his mother for this and that little inconsequential thing she wants done. This has been going on throughout the four years of our marriage, and I'm just about fed up to here. What's the answer? ALSO-RAN. DEAR ALSO-RAN: Of course, your husband owes his mother devotion, but his first duty is to you and the children. Tell him he can reserve one evening or a couple of hours of his week-ends to mother's needs, but the rest of the week is for his family. DEAR SALLY: I'm a bachelor and I work the late 11 to 'seven shift in one of our factories, and my observations have convinced me this is the favorite shift of most married women. Duringour coffee breaks, these women pair off with some of the fellows and have a real ball. I wonder what their husbands would think if they saw their wives laughing and cutting |
