It's rather like a back fence fight. But I couldn't let that letter signed "Secretary to A Peach" go by. It's obvious that the secretary is in love with the Peach. She hates it when his wife phones because she's jealous. I'm a secretary to A Peach, too. But I'm interested only in doing a competent job and I don't give a hoot how many times a day his wife phones him. In my opinion, this should be filed under "Bus inessHis and Hers" and a g'd secretary knows what to keep her nose out of. I know several secretaries who would love to be the sugar and James Cooke, 47 Rifes Set Monday James J.
