people would change the shameful way they act at wakes.

DEAR JOHN: It's more than mere coincidence that the
two words most frequently interchanged by accident (7)
are “wedding” and “funeral.” oa

It’s not the lack of respect for the deceased, it’s the
human tendency to make the most of the opportunity to
catch up on old friendships and family tes that accounts
for the partylike atmosphere at most wakes. Add to that
the fact that alcohol tends to break down inhibitions.

DEAR ABBY: I love my parents, but they have their

. faults, and the ‘one that bothers me most is their prejudice
against people of other races ‘and religions. They have

tried thelr bast to make me believe as they do, but I am
happy to say they have not succeeded. -
