perfect, but

About four years ago he told'me he wanted to go to bed

' with me, and had felt that way for a long time. 1 was insulted

and sickened by the suggestion, and told him so. He has a
lovely wife, he’s not senile, and I did nothing to provoke it.
At first I hated him, then my hate turned to feeling ab-

. Solulely nothing toward him,

T bitterly resent the love and respect this vile man

’ receives from his family. ] am constantly hearing what a

“wonderiul " person he is, and it galls me to keep silent, But

~ Tmust, of course: J also resent the adoration my husband has

for his father when, in fact, his father has betrayed him in

. the worst of all betrayals.

A few months ago my father-in-law underwent emergency
surgery,and the family was informed that he has six months
at the most to live. When I heard the news, [am ashamed to

‘-adniit that [ secretly rejoiced. His death will be the end of

my play-acting, and [ look forward to it with no reservations.
Abby, do you think I am going to he in big trouble with

‘God for [eeling this way? 1 have come to terms with the in-

sult to myself, but the betrayal of a good son by his father is

something I cannot forgive.
Will God punish me for my feelings? Or might He find this
sinful man-as repugnant as J, and understand my leelings?
NO CITY OR STATE, PLEASE

DEAR NO CITY: Since you are obviously a God-fearing
woman who feels quilt and fear of punishment for your
thoughts, ask God's forgiveness through prayer.

FT can't tell you haw God will judge you but, in the future,

" Teave the buginess of judging your fellowman to the Lord.

That'a HIS work.

OCT A FEW DAYS4//

By Roger Bollen and Gary Peterman

DEAR ABBY: How long should a hostess wait for.a late
dinner guest? My husband and I were invited to a dinner
party for 7 p.m. We arrived promptly al 7,and by 7:15 all the
other guests were there except one couple, The cocktail
hour continued until the tardy couple came steaming in, full
of apologies, at 8:45! .

By that time I had a hunger headache and my hushand had
exceeded his quota of cacktails, Need I tell you what kind of
an evening we had?

What is the limit on holding up a dinner for latecomers’?
Thanks for printing this.

DEAR HAD IT; Fifteen minutes is long enough to hold up
a scheduled meal for tardy guests,
Gearge Washington is said to have set an intelligent

- precedent. He instructed his cook to inquire not, “Have the

GUESTS arrived?” But, “Hag the HOUR arrived?"

DEAR ABBY: With every sorrew or setback there isa bit
of humor, Such was the case when I was recently hos-
pitalized. ; :

One of my nurses was a little Chinese doll who couldn't
have weighed more than 80 pounds, She was 22, married and
had two children. , .

After she had given me my bath and massage with her
usual care and kindness, I winked at her to show my ap-
preciation. 1 then asked her, “Can you wink with one eye?”

She answered, “No can wink with one eye, Can wink with
TWO eyes,” Then I asked her if she knew what a wink
meant. She bent down and whispered into my ear, “Yes.
That means, ‘nobody home; c'mon in.'” '

She knew, of course, that I was 81.
