If he wants vou to Iron the bed sheets, iron 'em. Toots. Be thank-' ul your marital troubles CAN be ironed out so easily. Nat all people are so lucky. Dear Ann: Recently a man ask ed if he could be forced by law to marry a girl who had been "the neighborhood sweetheart." You said the law could not force a marriage, but in some states the father may have to support his child. You then blasted HIS rep rehensible conduct, but not a word about HERS. Why docs society always place the girl on the pedestal as "Inno cence Betrayed" while the man gets roasted? Whenever a tramp gets into a fix she can point a finger at a convenient chump and the curt will take HER word against his. Usually she names some stoop she went with a few times and he can't recall much as he was a little drunk. Isn't it barely possible that some scheming harpies deliber ately get pregnant so they can pry a settlement out of a poor sap who can't afford a scandal? Be fair' and print this. The Mi sogynist. Dear Misogynist: It's obvious you've never had . a baby, sir. Even the "scheming harpies" know this a tough way to "make money." This trick is not a fav orite of the conniving, experi enced woman, as you suggest. Only the very young and foolish would be so rash. If you are so stupid or so naive that you don't know how to protect yourself against this low type, I'll TELL you how. Stay cway from tramps and keep off the list of candidates.
