This beautiful, healthy child was the light of our lives for four years. Last March her blood-mother popped up out of nowhere. When she saw the child she said she'd turn the world upside down to set her away. She claimed she was in an cmoticnal state when she agreed to let us have her, and that she was not responsible for her decision. It resulted in a messy court fight and we lost. Before the ,'hiid was born the mother gave her solemn word she'd never see lie child or bother us in any .vay. We paid her hospital ex penses, boucht her a ticket to a .ity 2.500 miles away, and saw to t that she was employed. We avc her S1.000, and the friend" vho brought us together got $2,- 00. otluck at noon. Project on 'Consumer Buying." VFW Auxiliary will meet Tues fay at 8 p.m. in their hall.

T.: Thank you for un-itlna. "This it 'not the first such letter that appeared in this space, but the problem is indeed a serious one, and worth repeating. Dear Ann: I like a certain fel low very much even though he is a hit of a show-off. This is my biggest problem with him: I feel like a fool when we dance together because he insists on do ing all the fast and complicated steps even though I've told him a hundred times I can't follow him. I have threatened to wolk off the floor when he starts that stuff, but I haven't the nerve to Co it. It's awfully embarrassing to stumble around on the dance floor with a guy everybody knows in a great dancer. What do you suggest? Left Leg. Dear Left: I know the type they don't peed a partner be cause they always seem to be doing a solo. A good dancer should stick to the simple steps out of consideration for the mediocre partners (Like you and me). If Astaire ignore your pleas and insists on try ing for the cup every time, just walk off the floor and leave him standing there.
