_ DEAR ABBY: Our son Is a professional photographer
and one of the best in town. He snaps averything and

that he had the beat o ent. 8

Now -that he is a professional with a fine studio, you
-would think he would offer to take our pictures, but he
never has. Even at family gatherings when he’s busy
taking candid shots, if we dori't. stick our. faces in a couple
of pictures we'd he left out entirely.

We are average-locking people and wouldn't break his
camera, It would be nits +3 wre some good studio pictures

DEAR ABBY: I would like to demand equal rights—for
MEN! To cite one example of the injustice to males:

being a peeping Tom. But if a MAN undresses in front of a

window wi e shade up, and a WOMAN stops to look at
