Dear Abby

By Abigail Van Buren

5. 1978 by Chicago Tribune-N Y News Syng, Inc

DEAR ABBY: My head is spinning with indecision.
I'm ip the process of getting a divorce, and my husband
is begging me to give him another chance.

The problem has always been that Harry can't resist
young girls! I was 16 and he was 27 when we married,
and during our six-year-marriage Harry got five girls
pregnant! One was barely 15, and he'd have gone to jail
for sure if his boss hadn't retained a really good
lawyer. After that Harry had a vasectomy and now we
can't have any more children. We have one little boy
and I've had four miscarriages, and I've always
wanted another child.

1 decided to divorce him after I caught him in the
bushes in broad daylight with his 18-year-old niece at a
family 4th of July picnic.

Abby, Harry is really a sweet guy and a wonderful
provider, (He's a top salesman.) Half of me says,
“Take him back,” and the other half says, ‘‘Go through
with the divorce.”

I may be crazy, but [ still love him,
PRISONER OF LOVE

DEAR PRISONER: Listen to the half with the brains
in it and don't take him back untl! he gets Into therapy,
If you resume your marriage in his present state,
prepare to live indefinitely with a weak man who has a
weakness for young girls.

DEAR ABBY: Where is it written that it is bad
manners to tip the owner? I mean the owner of a
suloon, a restaurant, a beauty parlor or a barber shop,

When the owner is right there serving the public 1
think he (or she) is every bit as entitled toa tip as an
employee. ;

If there is such a ruls of etiquette, I think it is dumb
and should be done away with.

What do you think?

DEAR QUESTION: Some die-hard traditionalists
insist that “owners of the establishment should not be
Upped.” However, 1 belleve good service should be
appropriately rewarded regardless of who provides it,

DEAR ABBY: Please tell SICK OF THE SAME
DRESS whose co-worker wears the same creas for two
weeks atralght that's she’s lucky she doesn’t work with
my husband. ’

He wears the same pair of trousers every day until
they wear out.

t
Hesays it's too much trouble to take the things out of -

his ete every night!

Horoscope

What kind of day will
tomorrow be? To find out what
the stars say, read the
forecast given for your birth
Sign.

ARIES
(Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) a a

Don’t expect old problems
simply to go away now, but at
least, you'll gain an insight
today on how to handle them
in the future.

TAURUS
(Apr. 20 to May 20) Oar

The concerns of children or
dependents require your at-
tention now. Protect assets in
joint financial dealings. Ac-
cent practicality,

GEMINI EE
(May 21 to June 20)

There are some domestic
duties which need to be
handled now. Talk things over
with a mate or one who ls close
to insure needed cooperation.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)

You needn’t worry yourself
sick. Mental work or problems
seem difficult, yet progress
stilk can be made. Find one
quiet moment for yourself in
the p.m.

LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22) RE

Instead of worrying about a
shortage of Funds, use today to
balance the books — at least

on paper. Don't let financial
worrles affect self-esteem.

VIRGO:
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) my

You may feel you have too
much responalbility already to
tackle something new, yet the
opportunity arises. Perhaps,
you’re underestimating
y

LIBRA

(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) re
A day to avoid negative

thinking. Relatives may have

problems now that make you

feel inadequate, Care needed

in travel.

SCORPIO

(Oct, 23 to Nov. 21) Mn Ae
"A friend in need isa friend

indeed" in most cases, but not

today, when you'll have to be

wary of financial dealings

with others.

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov, 22 to Dec. 21) xg?

Career progress may seem
slow, but attend to duty.
What's more, higher-ups seem
preoccupied and may not be
receptive to your ideas.
CAPRICORN Vi
(Dec, 2 to Jan, 19)

Nat a good time to receive a
favorable response from
publishers, and teachers or
advisers seem inaccessible,
Practice self-analysis.

AQUARIUS ~~
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) so

You can make new friends
today, but don't involve them
with your problems. You may
be unable to attend a social
function,

PISCES f
(Feb. 19 to Mar. 20)

Tt will be difficult to receive
cooperation from others re
career interests, but you still
can put in a good day's work
yourself.

YOU BORN TODAY won't
find contentment in a routine
job, as your love of freedom
and novelty thrived on con-
stant change, You'd do well In
an occupation that brings you
in contact with a rapid tur-
nover of clients, You can run a
restaurant, rent apartments,
manage hotels, and are a born
satesman. If your curlosity
extends to meatal planes, then
you'd make a good lawyer,
writer, speaker, doctor,
engineer or politician. Your
sense of the dramatic finds a
ready ontlet in the en-
tertainment world, For your
best success aim for the top;
otherwise you may not make
the most of your talents.
Birthdate of: Walt Disney,
filmmaker; Strom Thurmond,
politician; and Christina
Rossetti, poet.
