^ ' i ‘ * I Dear Sally 4-B—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., Auguat 20, 1970 BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: My husband is a fine and intelligent man in eyery way. . .except when he talks with friends. He has the habit of exaggerating and blow ing up every story he tells. .. his business deals, his taxes, his financial status, and even his athletic prowess as a youth. This is terribly embarrassing to me. Why should a man with his brains have to do this, and is there anything at all I can do to cure him of it? PITTS BURGH. DEAR PITTSBURGH: Most people with this habit feel a strong need to impress others, this often springing from an inner feeling of inse curity or even inferiority. What they fail to realize is that other others sooner or later get wise and are then skeptical of EVERYTHING the per son says, even when it happens to be the unvarnished truth. Talk with your good husband along this vein, and if he’s as inteHigent and fine as you say, he’ll listen and get the point. DEARL SALLY: I am a young man of 19 who has just re ceived a big emotional shock. After all these years I’ve only just discovered tenderness, and devotion from my real parents than I have received all these years from my adopted parents, but Just the same I think it was terribly wrong of them to keep me in the dark about my true history. I need some comfort ing advice! TRYING TO AD JUST. DEAR TRYING: Admittedly, you (just as any adopted child) should have been told about this at a very young age. However, now that you know -- instead of feeling so worked up about it — concentrate instead on the great blessing that did come into your life.. .your being chosen, loved, and reared by such won derful parents. DEAR SALLY: I wish you would say something in your column about the evils of crib bing or cheating in exams in high school and college. May be you can open the eyes of cer tain classmates of mine who in dulge in this practice. STRAIGHT SHOOTER. DEAR STRAIGHT: First ol all, cheating does harmful things to your self-respect. You’ve done a dishonest, “sneaky’’ thing. You’ll have to admit to yourself that you weren’t smart enough topass the exam on your own. You’ve lost the respect of certain classmates who know what you’ve done. A passing grade on an exam doesn’t mean a passing grade later in life. Comes the time when you can’t find the answers written on the cuff of your shirt, on a scrap of paper stuffed in your shoe, or in the back of the book. Your success and happiness in life depend upon your ability to get by on your own. Nothing beats the satisfaction of know ing that you have accomplish ed somethingon your own merit! DEAR SALLY: I recently joined a 12-women bridge club which meets two afternoons a month. However, so far I haven’t enjoyed myself. Seems all the other women are there only to gab. . .about their kids, their home life, their neighbors, clothes, and what not. Although I’m not a dead-serious kind of bridge player, still I enjoy the game -- and there’s too little card-playing during these meetings. So, is there anything I can do to remedy this situa tion? BAD DEAL. DEAR BAD DEAL: Yes. Re sign and join a more active group.
