Thomason Chairman Laurens County Board of Commissioners * * * OFFICE SUPPLIES THE CHRONICLE BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: I need advice — badly! I dated a young man steadily for fifteen months, and during this time he gave every indication of marriage. Then this past weekend, like a bolt out of the blue, he told me he wasn’t going to call me anymore, be cause he thought our relationship was getting too serious and he wasn’t ready yet for any “per manent entanglements.’ Now I’m terribly upset over this sudden turn of events. What is your reac tion to it? TOSSED ASIDE. DEAR TOSSED: There can of course be many other reasons why this fellow kissed you off as he did, but probably the rea son he gave you is the truth . . . and you shouldn’t be tak ing it as any reflection on you. Instead, regard as a blessing the fact that you are well rid of this kind of fellow. DEAR SALLY: A niece of ours has already at the age of 32 been married and divorced twice, with a child by each marriage. Now she’s all set to go for a third time with a man whom she insists she loves “madly and completely,* and that this mar riage “is going to stick.’ Maybe so, but the thing that bugs us is her announced intentions, since her two previous marriages were civil ceremonies, of making this third one a big, formal, church wedding, complete with bridal gown and all the usual trim mings. We think this sort of wedding for a two-time loser with two children is in the worst of taste. Do you agree 0 LATTVELY SPEAKING. DEAR RE LATTVELY SPEAK ING: I agree. . .emphatically! - DEAR SALLY: I am a young single male, gainfully employed, and known in social circles as a “very eligible bachelor.’ I am invited to lots of dinner parties, after-theater parties, cocktail parties, and what-have-you parties by very gracious hos tesses, and heretofore have al ways thought my sincerely-spo ken verbal thanks to these hos tesses as 1 was departing was sufficient acknowledgement of their hospitality. But now certain persons have told me I’ve been rude for failing to follow up with a phone call the next day, or a note, or even flowers. It’s diffi cult for me to believe that such mid-Victorian protocal still exists today. What do you think? JOHNNY. DEAR JOHNNY: I think it does, and I know it does -- with con siderate and appreciative per sons, that is. The time and effort involved in a phone call, or the writing of a note, is minimal, as is the expense of flowers. Give it a try .. .it won’t hurt a bit. DEAR SALLY: A few evenings ago, a nice young man took me to dinner in one of our city’s best and most expensive restau rants. At the end of the meal when he received the check, which I happened to notice was for around $20, he inspected it and seemed to hesitate -- then he paid it. Later in his car he mentioned to me that he tpdhbeen over charged about $2 r hm rather than make a big scene over such a small amount, he just paid it. I think this was foolish, don’t you? MAE. DEAR MAE: I do indeed. He was in perfect right, and with out need of “making a big scene,* to ask politely that his bill be added up again. ASSIGNED — Airman Jerome E. Stoddard, son of Mrs. Mary K.
