DEAR ABBY
Movie Projectionist Is Still Romantic
By ABIGAIL VAN buren,

DEAR ABBY: I am a normal
single male in better than mod
crate circumstances. Naturally
] enjoy the company of an oc-
casional female, but 1 do not
want to get married. I know
myself well enough to know
that I would make a poor hus-
band and miserable father.
In other words. I am NOT
GEARED for marriage. Every
attractive female I have ever
romanced wants to get married.
Should ! keep my marriageless
intentions to myself or lose my
lady friends by declaring hon.
estly that 1 am not geared for
marriage?
NOT GEARED FOR MAR
RAGE
1t is grand larceny TO take
the best years of a girls life
under false pretenSe. Either
tell them from the start that
you're not "geared for mar
riage"-Or shift gears.
DEAR ABBY: My husband
operates the movie protector in
a large movie house and it has
created a big problem for me.
From his booth he sees all those
love scenes and he also gets a
good view of all the lovers
romancing in the balcony. He
comes home full of ideas and
expects me to be in a romantic
mood also. To tell you the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-06-06

truth, we've been married 81
years and the honeymoon has
been over a long time for me.
What should ! do?
NOT ROMANTIC
Maybe you should sit up in
the booth with him?
DEAR ABBY: Please print
this as a favor to me and sew
eral of my boyfriends with the
same problem: Some of the
girls we know wear entirely too
much lipstick and eye junk. 1t
gets on our shirts. How do you
explain this to your mother?
STUCK FOR WORDS
/ don't think you'll have
TO explain" anything TO
your mother but / suggest
you tip of the girls who are
laying il on too thick"
DEAR ABBY: I had a hus-
band who was good for moth
ing and ! mean absolutely good
for nothing. If I told you what

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

CHANGE: One afternoon,
when George Earnshaw was
pitching for the Philadelphia
Athletics. he was tagged fol-
two home runs by Lou Gehrig
of the Yankees, who slammed
both hits over the right field
wall.
When Gehrig came to bat for
the third time, Manager Con-
ME Mack lifted Earnshaw for
a relief pitcher. But instead OF
sending Earnshaw to the club
house, Mack called him back to
the dugout.
You pitched to Gehrig all
wrong" said Connie. II want
you to watch how this boy
throws to him and learn some
thing"
Gehrig hit the first pitch
into the left field stands. Mack,
stunned. could not speak.
Finally Earnshaw spoke up.
Il see what you mean, Mr.
Mack" he said. He made him
change direction"
INVITATION: A London So
ciety queen, whose invitations
were tantamount to commands,
sent George Bernard Shaw a
card which read:
Lady $1,000 will be at
home Thursday between 4
and g."
Shaw returned the card after
writing on the other side:
Mr.. Bernard Shaw likewise. "

This was NOT all right.
The truth about your hus-
band Is sure TO leak out.
When a relative is i'm
prisOned, the best explana-
ton Is the truth.
DEAR ABBY: I've been
married three months to a
man who was married once
and divorced. l am 10 and
never cooked before. He made
me quit my job because he
wants me to stay home and be
a housewife. My problem is
can't cook to please him so he
wants me to call up his ex-wife
and ask for her recipes and
have her explain how to cook
certain things the way he likes
them. I've never met her and
l don't want to call her, but
l don't want to lose my hus-
band. Do you think I'm being
foolish? NO COOK.
If cooking were so i'm
pOrtant, your husband would
still be married to his ex-
wife. Take a cooking course
and do the best you can.

Stopping Payment :

involved in a stop-payment
situation personally. We are
therefore inclined to assume
that it is a simple, cut and dried
procedure.
1t is not quite that.
What Law Requires
For the law requires that
any Stop-payment notice to the
bank must be positive, UNI
qualified, and describe the
writer of the check and the
check itself with accuracy and
clarity. You might be sur
prised how many times these
conditions are difficult to meet.
In some places the procedure
is spelled out in a statute. But

the check is the one who de-
cides to get 1t certified. this is
tantamount to payment and
you cannot normally halt pay
ment thereafter.
An entirely different situa-
ton exists If the check involved
is a cashiers check. Such
checks, technically speaking,
are in the nature Of bills of
exchange. They are orders
drawn by a bank on itself and
not subject to countermand like
an ordinary check. They are
more like a promissory note.
payable on demand when prop
erly presented to the bank.
A host of additional compli-
cations in Stop-payment situa-
tons can arise and their legal
solution is by no means always
a simple one. But the fore
going provide a general idea
of the sort Of thing you can
run into.
