Man Can Replace Girl Friend
But Not Teen-Age Children
Dear Ann Landrs: My boy
li jeml is scnamled (t orn h s wife
lull nut divnrcid. Ihs cliihlicn
nr.- Iivn asirrs. He sees nie nlioilt
four niiihts a wivk and ilun sp nils
wukn.ds Willi h.s family. He
mows riijil in wilh a suit .-asp.
I told bun las-, wok to either
live with lie m or le w them
al ne. His answer set me to
thinking.
He s id ' I can always git an
other girl friend but I II njver be
alih- to replace my children." I
told him net to loo' himself, that
one dny his kids w ill in n ry and
he'll b" a lonesome m; n.
Phase don't git the idea that
I w ant h in to marry me. I don't
I'm self siipixii'ting and am in
lercsted only in -companionship.
Should I insist he chouse between
his f.imily and me? Meg.
Dar Meg: He's already made
his choice. Futhermore, he's
tcld yev to like it or lump It.
Whether you realiie it or no',
you're ( ing with a married
man. I'll brt you a dollar to an
old Landcn button that if yau
told him you were through being
his week -day sweetie he'd go
back to his family en a full-time
basis which is where he belongs.
Dear Ann Landers: My daughter
is 21. She w. s home for the
weekend i.nd had to leave on a
7 30 plane to return to ccllege.
Her boy friend brought h-r home
at 130 and they woke me up and
asked if it would be O.K. for him
to slay and drive her to the airport
at 6.30 a.m. I told the in it would
NOT be respectable for them to
sit lip all n ght alone and thrt I
had r.o intention of sitting up with
them.
We pot into a fuss and my
idaughl-r to'd her boy friend to
lerve and wait in the car. She
said she'd be out at 5 a m. and
lliey would go to an all-night Tes
tament (or, breakfast on the way
to the airport.
In my opinion, any way you lrok
it it, she was asking for per
mission to let th" young man stay
all night and I would not agree
'o it. Now she is mad at me.
Your opinion., p as, L.A.Q. .
Dear L.A.Q.: When a daugh
ter, Jl, ewakens her mother end
asks for pormissicn to let h?r
bey friend visit and then drive
her to the airport, it's a pretty
safe bet the gsl can be trusted.
If she were on the "wild" side,
there are other places she could
have gone besides home.
Your refusal was a vote of r'v
confidence and she had a right to
resent it. These were special
circumstances and merited spe
cial consideration.'
Nrxt time, however, it would
be better if he brought her home
at 10 p.m. and came to get her
at S a.m.
Dear Ann: I'm going to be mar
ried in January and I need com
mon sense opinion.
My mother has a lovely singing
voice and lias been the soloist at
many weddings. She would like to
sing at ir.y wedding and I have no
ohjectiens, but something tells me
thnt it isn't proper. Another com-

Dear B.B.: Yeur mother can
sing it o wedding any ' Id time
but the plrasure of siting beside
hrr husband and witnessing your
marriage will come only once.
Hire someone to sing from the
balcony, and suggest that your
mo'her a'tend the wedding in a

Dear Ann: In America an in
creasinj number o' teen-agers live
on so't di ink-., potato chips, candy,
ice cream and ncanuts. This will

Miliums of tc n-agers read your

! - em. tl.mn -Mr. Z.
Dear Mr. Z: Although it may
seem that most American teen
agers are living on junk, the
tru'h of the matter is the diet
struc'ure in America is the most
neurishing in the world. In most
countries there is less variety
' f Hie tasic essentials and it is
avaitab'e to fewer people.
I agree that seme teen-agers'
complexions and teeth would im
prove if they ate fewer sweets,
but most American teens get
enough nourishing food to bal
ance it.
Dear Ann: I was cne of those
fnli-h girls who let my folks push
me into marriage because I was
" -? ""ilgames and held
iiiena nun me ii ne w as lorct-u
to marry he'd make me sorry.
He's kept his word.
He has told our son w ho is now
9 that he had to marry me
and has warned the boy against
jettina mixed up with women like
his inoihT. The poor child is too
voting to know what's he's talk
ing about hut he'll know some
lay. I've had to work since the
boy was 5 weeks old because my
husband says "his money belongs
10 bim." Divorce is against our
religion. M? life is ruined and
I'm only 25.
Your advice is excellent but It
came too late for me. Miserable.
Confiden'.ial lo No Future: Sorry
but I can't sit down and cry with
you. Tlie pessimist says the bottle
is half empty but the optimist
says it's half full. Same bottle,
just a different point of view. If
