THE DETAILS

Felix MI am 81 and a COL
lege senior. 1 have been going
out steadily with a girl Of 20 for
nearly a year. Recently, we got
to the stage of doing some heavy
petting. I didn't mean anything
serious by it, so imagine my sur
prise when I learned I was en-
gagged!
l always considered Dianna a
real swell person and l never
thought she would pull anything
like that on me. One morning
when I called her on the tele-
phone. she Just told me she had
spoken to her folks and that
everything was okay. I didn't
even know what she was talking
about until I reached her home
and her parents welcomed me
as a prospective son-in-law.
I didn't say anthing. but took
Dianna outside and asked her
what was the big idea. She said
she assumed I meant il" when
made love to her. l told her !
meant it, all right, but not in
that way and she must tell her
folks the whole thing is off. She
cried so much l didn't have the
heart to insist. but l really am
not ready to be engaged and
want to go out with other girls.
Dianna Felix neglects to
tell that we had been seeing one
another about four times a week.
that he had told me he loves me
and wants to be with me always
and lots of other things that led
me TO believe he was really SER
ious.
Felix has been very unfair and
Just hasn't considered my fooling
at all. My Girl friends all believed
it was the real thing between
Felix and me. l wouldn't have
gone for all that heavy petting"
If I had believed that Felix and
were goine to be married. l
feel so Inundated l could just
about die.
My parents are now all excited
about my engagement How
can tell them it's all of?
Everyone knows now. but Felix
says he won't give me ring and
that I've got TO face the music
Am supposed to 90 out and tell
the whole world that Felix re-
fuses to have me?
What l want to know is wheth-
er or not I'm being unfair. Does
a boy have the right to behave
as Felix did and then walk out?
THE COUNCILS VIEW
It's hard to believe that any
girl Of 20 could be as naive as
Dianna. so we'll just have to
assume she is pretending and go
on from there.
1t Just won't work, Dlanna. II
might work If the boy were less
clear-mlnded than Felix. If he

small child whose living quarters
were primarily on a single level
OF the residence. Everything
necessary to the care of the child
was on this level-play area,
utilities, bathrooms, supplies, etc.
and the sitter was familiar
with it. However. in looking for
a bathroom on another level Of
the house, the sitter fell down
the cellar steps and was hurt.
Sitter Sues Parents
She sued the parents on the
ground that they had been le-
Igally bound to explain the lay
out Of their home to whatever
extent was necessary to prevent
her injury.
The trial Judge had directed q
verdict for the parents, and his
decision was upheld by the Su-
Ipreme Court.
Inc glSt or the decision was
that baby itters, in the parlance
Of lawyers, are business in
Ivitees." In other words, they are
entitled to guarantee of per-
sonal safety insofar as the part
of the premises which they are
expected to use is concerned. But
in regard to any other part of
the home or estate. they are
legal trespassers or. at best, they
are licensed to use such addi-
Itional portions at their own risk.
Commercial Rule Applied
Thus parents or others who
hire baby-sitters are apparently
required by law to warn such
people only in regard to any
hazards that may exist in the
areas where they are expected to
carry out their duties.
Whether or not this view will
grow in the law remains to be
seen. 1t is a distinction that is
