SORRY Yesterday's Cryptoquip—STALWART POOL OWNER FRO- CONFIDENTIAL TO E. L. R. IN JAMESTOWN: Yea, I have a booklet titled “HOW TO HAVE A LOVELY WEDDING," but the best advice I can offer a bride is, “See your doctor {and preferably a gynecologist) for 4 physical checkup and authoritative anawers to all your questions hefore marriage.” If birth control is desired, it should be planned BEFORE the wedding. This Includes Catholic girls, too, as the rhythm method should be clearly understowd to be successfully practiced. (Too many young wives, who hed planned on working for a few years, discover to their orror that they got pregnant on their honeymoon.) ‘Many couples experience shock and grief on learning that they are usable to consummate the marriage due to some alight physical abnormality which could have been _ easily corrected by minor surgery. ; Motherly advice from Aunt Liz or “tips” from one of the gitls is fine, but before a bride keeps her date with the preacher, she should keep one with her doctor. DEAR ABBY: It seems that more and more ;arente of teonage children are being divorced these days, I atruggled with that decision for nearly two years, and finally joined their ranks. ; Lreceived the following letter, which was signed by each of my children. Their ages are 17, 15, 13 and 12. I hope you will think it worthy of your colunn. . NONAME. PLEASE DEAR DIVORCED PARENTS: We love you both for different reasons, so please don't feel that because we love one of you, we cannot love the other. Try to u- derstand that even though you no longer love each othe-, we atill love both of you. . We cannot be expected to know what went wrong with your marriage, nor da we want to know the dete'ls of who did what te whom, so please don't try to tell us y: ur side of it. Don't ask ua to judge either one of you, just selp us to accept your parting co that we can build a life ot our own though our parents live apart. We still need to be loved by both of you, _ allow your resentment, however justified, to relationship with our grandparents, aunts, cousins on both sides. We know you both love us, so please let us love you both. YOUR CHILDREN so pl ase don't dustroy our urcles and DEAR ABBY: I’m 19, female and this is my first office job. There are eight girls and two men in this office. The hours are 8 to 6, and we get an hour off for lunch, plus two 15 yminute coffee breaks, one at 10 A.M. and the other at 3 Every morning, one of the girls brings in a box of Danish, and someone makes a pot of coffee. Uveryone {except me) has coffee and Danish, and nobody settles down to work until 8:30. At 4:30 P.M. everyone starts putting their work away, retouching their make-up and combing their hair, At precisely 6 P.M. they are all out the door. told them that it's like they're stealing an hour's wages from the boss every day. They laughed at me, and now they call me “oddball.” I'd like your opinion. ODDBALL DEAR ODDBALL: If you're an “oddball,” more offices should have oddballs with your Integrity.
