Show Dear Sally By Sally Shaw DEAR SALLY: I'm a woman of 42, in the best of health, and much younger -looking than my age. I have two teen-aged teen-aged children, and am now wondering if it would be all right to have another baby. Do you think this wouM be too embarrassing em-barrassing formy other children? People are always saying that babies are for younger parents. But I have such a big longing to cuddle and care for another baby, and my husband is all for it, too. Please tell me what you think of this. MRS. C. C. DEAR MRS. C. C: There's no reason in the world why you shouldn't bring another baby into the world if you want to somuch--and if you can. As for what your children or other people may say or think, this is definitely your business, not theirs. And, confidentially, confi-dentially, I'll bet your children would get lots of fun out of the new little baby. More power to you! DEAR SALLY: I'm a fellow of 26, with an administrative job in television. I've fallen deeply in love with a girl who sings at our station. She's beautiful, and has a voice like a lark. She's given every evidence of liking me, too, but for the past year or so she's been going with another TV performer per-former who drinks like a sieve. In' fact, he's an out-and-out lush! Now she's asked me to help her bring this guy out of it. I love this girl so very much and would do anything in the world for her--but, if I go along with her on this, I'll just be cutting my own throat. What do you think I should do? THE OTHER GUT. DEAR OTHER GUY: Helping to lift another fellow onto the wagon won't cut yout throat. Whenever When-ever you have an opportunity to do some good, take it. Maybe in this case, it will open the girl's eyes to what a fine man you are. On the other hand, if you are in-, in-, strumental in the other man's reform and if she does go ahead and marry him, at least you'll be . able to live with the knowledge that you did the right and manly thing. That's much better than the other kind of feeling! |
