I LAFF OF THE WSSK
COLUMN
Dear Aunt Lydia
For seven yours now I have boon
dating a cortain young man. Wo
have always had a perfect rela-
tionship until recently when with-
out any encouragement from me
I'm sure he felt that he had the
right to take certain liberties. Is
hero any way in which I can show
him without hurting his feelings
how wrong it is to indulge in
kissing before our status has been
legally sanctified?
Desperately awaiting your reply
I remain
Virtuous.
My Dear
I suggest that without a mo-
ments delay you have your father
speak to this bold young man and
if he cannot be swerved from his
evil ways you have no alternative
but to discontinue seeing him be-
fore you become involved in a dan-
gerous situation.
Sympathetically
Aunt Lydia.
Dear Aunt Lydia
For twenty years now I have
been pursuing my girl with pro-
posals candy proposals flowers
proposals perfume etc. She spurns
my attentions and says she de-
spises me. Should I believe her?
Despondent.
Dear Despondent
As the old saying goes "Faint
heart never won fair lady."
Helpfully
Aunt Lydia.
Dear Aunt Lydia
Errol and I have been engaged
now for five months; we are plan-
ning to l)c wed on November 11.
Without appearing to bo too pos-
sessive could I in all fairness ask
him to stop dating my girl friends
(some of whom will be acting as
attendants at my wedding)? I
know this seems selfish but peo-
ple are beginning to talk.
Perplexed.
Dear Girl
Your attitude is unreasonable.
You cannot rightfully expect to
monopolize all of someone's spare
time. In a democracy such as ours
overy true American wholeheart-
edly in our God given right to life
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. If you truly loved Errol you
would not begrudge him the free-

dom he deserves. I would advise
you to control your irrational jeal-
ousy; it can only lead to grief. As
for those narrow-minded gossips
you mention you will find them
everywhere; if you are seeking
future happiness simply ignore
them.
Disgustedly
Aunt Lydia.

S'aid to a poppy
"My dear you would be pretty
If you weren't so sloppy."
' The poppy looked up

"Dearie me who can this be
That brags and slashes"?
The hollyhock was very old

at first
Before we burst
Into our present guise."
