I've been going steady with a fel low 22. Before he came along I dated many men. One day I realized I wasn't working to ward a permanent relationship with anyone. Since this particu lar fellow seemed like the best of the lot I decided to concen trate on him. He sensed my special interest and immediately suggestd I stop dating the others. He said I was the type of girl he had always wanted. Now I'm wondering wanted for what? He treats me coldly when oth ers are present. He almost be littles me, you might say. When I broach the subject of marriage, he skillfully changes the topic. He gets furious when I hint that I may date someone else. Yet he studiously avoids committing himself. What's the next step? Dangling. Dear Dangling: You're only 18, Toots. What's the big hur ry to beat a commitment oof of anybody? In yoor attempt to tia up this fellow you've be coma pretty well tangled In tht ropes.

We don't know the man )ut he's waiting for a divorce She's making plans for an elabor ate wedding which we can't af ford. She says she'll pay for it out of her inheritance if we won't What can we do? Dorothy. Dear Dorothy: If you couldn't do anything with Mae when she was 16 why ara you surprised you can't handle her at 21? Tall her precisely the kind of wedding you can afford and make it plain that beyond that. It's on her. Also explain that if 'she blows her inheritance she can expect no financial lift from you. Dear Ann: I'm the father of eight children. I planned on a vacation this fall with the whole family. My wife agreed it would be fun. Then her cousin who I never liked, wrote and invited my wife to spend a couple weeks with her. She took the three youngest kids and left.
