Dear Abby...

DEAR ABBY: We know a woman in her 60s who's been
going with a man about her age for about 15 years. He has
given her many very expensive gifts such ag jewelry, a fur

coat, a car, etc. '
Last Christmas she decided’ that she didn’t need

anything in that line, so she asked him to pay for redoing

her living room|! ;
This involved knocking out a wall, refinishing the floor,
custom-made draperies and of course all the new furniture.
He paid for it without even batting an eye, but when'she:
told all her friends what her gentleman friend gave her for.
Christmas, we were shocked, I think this is a far ery from
what 1 have always held Christmas to mean as far as gift
giving goos. _—
I would like your opinion,

DEAR SHOCKED: A gift is anything a persen wants to

give another pereon. Granted, the gentloman’s gift was

ungiue (and extremely generous), but if ho held still for it,
he probably asked her what she wanted. So if it was okay
by him, it’s okay by me. .

DEAR ABBY: I need an answer but I can't sign my
name because if anybody ever found out about this it could
cost my husband his job.

If a married man is bisexual and has sex with another —

HURTING WIFE.

man, is he guilty of adultery?

DEAR HURTING: Yes, and he’s also guilty of sodomy.

DEAR ABBY: In Joan Crawford's obituary it noted that
she had four’ adopted children, Why not that she had four
children? When Karen Quinlan was in the paper so often,
why was she always referred to as "the 2 pted child of
the Quinlans"? Why is it necessary for the general public

to know something so personal? It should be the business.

of the families concerned and no one else. Their
relationship was the same as any other parent-child, and
adoption makes no difference in the way parents foel about
their children. .

My husband and Ihave two adopted children and when I
introduce them I never eny, “This is my ADOPTED
daughter (or son).” And in reading the sporte section of the
paper I never see, “John Doe,
and Mrs. Doe, scored the winning touchdown.” It is simply
an unnecessary addition as it should be in any public
announcement,

My 4-year-old son knows he is adopted, as does his

ants of

Tyear-old sister. We feel that we are the real
our children, and when we die we want our obituaries to
say simply that we had two children.

DEAR ABBY: This is my second marriage and Otto's,
too. T keep our house in perfect order and am an excellent

‘T get $180. unemployment every month. Otto wants me
to give him one-third of my check to pay for my room. and

board.

I pay for all my necessities and buy my own clothes. All .

he pays for is the food I eat,

and I think the. work I do.

around the house more than repays him for my room and

board. ;

His take-home pay is $8008 month. What do you think of

_ Otto’s demands? -

SECOND WIFE

DEAR SECOND: I think he’s aut of line. Fve never

heard of a man charging his

wife room and board, And

exchanging your domestic eervices for the food you ext

sounds more like a business

deal than a marriage.

DEAR ABBY: Recently my husband and } moved into a”
new neighborhood with our S-year-old daughter and

6-year-ol

“son, In this ‘neighborhood, there are several

children, ages 5. to 10, who use our home for a central

playground.

My children are delighted to have so many new
playmates, but I am afraid they're a bad influence on ours.’
Several of the neighborhood: children have been using

the ADOPTED eon of Mr. -

swear words and dirty Janguage. My husband and I never
talk that way, as we dislike it intensely. Our children are
repeating these words, and we are upset. _

Tonight my husband noticed some extremely vulgar
words written on our garage, and we're sure that neither
our son nor daughter wrote them. |

Should we try to cool our children’s relationship with
these children? Try to supervise them when they are here?

CONCERNED
DEAR CONCERNED: You can’t raise your children in a

-‘glasa cage. They are bound to be exposed to all kinds of

language sooner or later, Don’t make a big deal out of it.
Tell them you disapprove /of X-rated language, and ask
them to respect your wishés and cut it out. But do it with
love, not anger. .

reply. write to ABBY: Box, No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069.
