Elderly Widow Will
Appreciate Kindness

By Abigail Van Buren

©1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N, ¥.News Synd, lic.

DEAR ABBY: We are a retired couple living next door.
to a very nice elderly woman who recently lost her:
husband, ‘ ‘

Iremarked to my husband yesterday, “That little widow
seems to be getting so thin and frail lately. [ suppose living

alone as she does, she doesn't bother to cook for herself,

Perhaps when I make something special, | should take
some over to her.”

My husband surprised me with the following
observation: "Heavens, no. That. would give her the notion ‘

that we think she's not able to look after herself.”

Abby, that notion never crossed my mind. Do you think

my husband is right? Or am 1?
GOOD NEIGHBOR

DEAR NEIGHBOR: You are. But people who live alone .

misa much more than food. They miss companionship. If

you feel generous, do something for the widow's spirit ae .

well as her stomach. Invite ler to join you sometime. The .

simplest meal with company will be more appreciated than
the finest delicacy alone.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl. I met a boy the

other night at a party. We go to the aame school. We liked
each other right away, and before knew it, we were in the
bedroom making out. (Nothing serious happened.) There
were akout 10 other kids there, including some football
players from our high school.

This boy is e key club member and is neat up. at school.

a)

Abby, whenever I see him in the hall now, he doesn’t even :

speak to me. You would think he never saw me before.
Thig has me confused. What's wrong with him? Or is it me?

MIXED-UP °

DEAR MIXED-UP: You were foolish to “make out” with

a boy you had juat met at a party. He elther (a) is ashamed

of himself, (b) doesn't want anyone to know he knows you,
or (c) doesn’t recognize you in the light.

DEAR ABBY: I am sure other wives of traveling men
have this same problem. When my husband is out of town,
a long-distance call will come in for him. The operator asks,
“Is Mr. So-and-So home?”

I say, “No, he isn’t.”

She asks, “When do you expect him?”

I say, “Not until next Friday.”

She asks, “Where can he be reached?”

I reply, “I don’t know. He’s on the road now.”

Well, Abby, as you can see, it could be someone right
around the corner, trying to find out if I’m home alone, arid
how long I will be alone. With the crime rate: so high,
shouldn't something be done about this? Maybe someone
at the telephone company has the answer.

‘ ALONE

DEAR ALONE: When someone calls for your husband
and he is out of the city, you need only ask, without
revealing that your husband is out of town, “Who is calling
Mr. So-and-So, please?”

Hf you don't recognize the name, say, “If your party will
leave bis namie and operator's number, I will have Mr.
So-and-So return the call.” That way you disclose NO
information whatsoever.

DEAR ABBY: When I recently extended an invitation
for an 8 o'clock dinner at my home to a couple we know and
like, ay said, "May we bring our children?" (They are 5, 7,
and 9, .

I said, “lam sorry, but this party is for grownups. I'll
have the children another time when we plan a cookout.”

She became very angry and said, “Well, if our children
are not welcome, don’t count on us!” Then she slammed the
telephone down on my ear. 4° ne.

Abby, Ido not think children belong at parties with
grownups, and hera are particularly illmannered. My
husband thinks I was wrong for not making her children
welcome. I'd like your opinion.

DEAR HOSTESS: I'm with you.

CONFIDENTIAL TO BITTER AND DESPERATE IN
BIRMINGHAM, ALA.; In my sister’s kitchen'is this
framed philosophical gem—author unknown. Perhaps it
will help you. .

“Life ia easier than you think.

All you have to do is accept the imposslble,
Do without the indispensable

And bear the intolerable.

(And be able to smile at anything.”)

Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a peraonal
reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069,
Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope please.’ ,
