Dear Abby

*

DEAR ABBY: We don’t go to church. Instead, my
husband and I and our three children sit down to a
hearty breakfast on Sunday morning and afterwards
have a friendly discussion around the bréakfast table.

We talk about school problems, family gripes and
relations with relatives and friends, We support each
other in overcoming bad habits and faults and come to
an understanding about allowances, TV watching,
homework and chores. Then we seek ways to improve
family life and ways to contribute to ow community

and our nation,
We believe that God's spirit ia within us (all) and that

ours are helping hands which can be used to make this
borhood children have’

spirit evident here on earth.
Recently, some of the ne

been calling our children atheists" because we don't

go to church, They are shocked and upset and don't

- know what to answer, Do you in your wisdom have an

a riate answer?
peop ATALOSS

. DEAR AT: How is this:."We are NOT ‘alhelats.' We
accept the existence and influence of fiod in our lives.
But to us, God's spirit is within all of us, and we offer
helping hands which can be used to make this spirit
evident here on carth.” .

(P.S. In my opinion, yours ls a stronger religious
commitment than many church-goers make. But that,
too, is their business.)

DEAR ABBY: SHELDON'S WIFE couldn't un-
derstand why her husband came home with red
smudges on his shirt and red hairs on his coat, Don't
jump to conclusions, Abby. He may have been feeding
Btrawberry jam to a cocker spaniel!

CHATTANOOGA DOG LOVER

DEAR LOVER: True. But there is always an outside
chance thathe had been feeding a tine to a redhead.

DEAR ABBY: I have been invited to an evening
wedding at 6 p.m. A friend of mine tells me that I must
wear a long dress. ; ;

I do not own a long dress, and I have no intention of
buying one. 11 must buy one for this occasion, ] cannot
afford to buy a wedding gift.

Please tel! me if you think 1 absolutely must get a
long dress, or would a dressy short dress be ac-

ceptable?
NONAME PLEASE

DEAR NO NAME: Wear what you have, and don't
give it a second thought. What's a few inches of fabric
more or less?
