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.
