No TrialRun
For This Lover.
By Abigail Van Buren’

© 1960 by Universal Press Syndicate”

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for 69
years. I am 93 and she ia 90. Before we were married, Myrtia
and I “went together” for almost a year. In all that time she
never found out whether [ wae a “poor lover” or.a great one.
My work took me out of town from Monday through Friday,
go we spent our Saturday evenings together in her parents’ .
home (in the “parlor”) often with either one or both parents
present. Sometimes the two of ua would enjoy a meal in a
deluxe restaurant, (It cost me 75 cents plus a 10-cent tip.) I
was doing well as a traveling aaleaman. I made $100 a
month plus expenses! : ,

Sunday mornings we always went to church together.
Myrtis sang in the choir.So did J until they found out what
was the matter with the choir — then I didn’t sing there

anymore,

We fell in Jove, but not the way they do today. Noao much ©
as a good-night kiss before we hecame engaged. When I
asked her to marry me, after much pleading on my part she
finally said yes. Then ! took her in my arme and planted a

__- big kiss right on her lips, And that was it. No more than a

hug and a kias until we were married some two months.

later.
Well, I guess I turned out to be a pretty fair lover. We had
five children, 17 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren.
‘You may want to put this in your “My, how times have:
changed” file. Anyway, Myrtis joins me in sending you our

.. love and appreciation for all those wonderful columns

through the years.
ELIAS P. TYLER, SHERMAN OAKS, CALIF.

DEAR ELIAS: Thenke for a wonderful column

_ plece. Your letter was a real “upper.”

DEAR ABBY: I can aympathize with the woman whose |
46-year-old husband has begun taking clarinet lessons. How

about a 56-year-old wife who has taken up tap dancing?

Do you think F’'m being unreasonable when I insist that

‘ghe do her tapping out in the garage? She has a long

extension cord for the record player. 7
. ; HAD IT IN LOS ALAMOS
DEAR HAD It: Better not banieh your dancing doll
to the garage, or it might be “taps” for your mar-
riage. . : ;

DEAR ABBY: I can’t believe that you aren't aware that
iiost married women consider every aingle attractive female |
a threlt to their marriages. _

For your amusement, when I became a widow, a married
woman whom I had known only slightly called to tell me
that she was beside herself with grief because her husband's
doctor had told her that her husband might go “any

minute.” But, of course, she was not allowed to tell him. —

Well, teday, seven yeura later, the husband is still hale;
hearty and thriving. : ;

Very clever, wouldn’t you any? :
: BERT

DEAR BERT: Yes, and also devious.’

church wedding or a simple, ‘‘do-your-own-thing”
