DEAR ABBY: have been
going with a certain young
man for about a year of and
on but never steady. He
knows that I have a birthday
coming UP pretty soon and
he has asked me to tell him
what I would like.
really would like a sweet
heart chest" Do you think
he might get the idea that
I am trying to rush him into
marriage if I make this sug-
tion?"
He certainly will. Are you?
DEAR ABBY: My uncle,
who is visiting us from out
OF town, is supposed to be
the high society member of
our family. He has lots of
money and says and does
what he pleases.
I arranged a small dinner
party in his honor and in
vited a charming widow to
be his dinner partner.
My uncle is unmarried and
in his COS. She is in her
SOS, My uncle paid no at
tention to her whatsoever.
When she helped herself to
dessert, he said, You don't
need that-you are already
too fat" She replied, You
are very rude to say that"
Then he countered with
"Oh, I thought you were too
old to mind"
She left without saying
goodby to me. Should I call
her and apologize or should
she call me?
UPSET HOSTESS.
Call her. The incident oc-
Cured In your home with q
gentleman (?l you invited to
be her dinner partner. Ex-
plain that your uncle is
eccentric" (An eccentric"
is a boor with money!
What's your problem?

FAMOUS FABLES
BY z. E. EDGAR

ERROR: One day, when
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum
was working on the Mount
Rushmore Memorial, he was
visited by a friend. The latter
gazed for some time at the
portraits of Washington, JEFF
ferson, Lincoln and Theodore
Roosevelt carved in stone.
. What a magnificent work"
he finally said. Its abso-
lutely perfect"
mot quite" said Borglum.
Il made the nose of Wash
ington a shade too long"
Time and erosion will take
care Of that" said the other.
Yes" agreed Borglum.
"In about 10000 years it
should be Just right"
NAMES: Edward Barrett,
whose daughter was the Po-
etess Elizabeth Barrett, was
the father of IL children,
four daughters and eight
sons. Finding names for so
many offspring taxed his
agination.
After the birth of his sixth
son. Barrett ran out Of names
and decided that his future
children would be designated
by numbers. Thus his sew
enth son was called Septimus
and the eighth Octavius.

THE PROBLEM

Mrs. E. J.-When are we
going to hear those wedding
bells?
Evening star., 1960-02-19

An unexpected kindness is
almost always embarrassing.
There have been thousands
Of occasions in my SO years
when I have been left with
my mouth open, mumbling
words of gratitude that
sounded stereotyped and
weak. Come to think of it,
when I was a little boy and
my Aunt Mary slipped 5
cents into my hand, l didn't
know what to say or how
to say it.
A FAT BOOK could be
written on the subject. I
remember, for example, the
morning an accident story
appeared in the New York
papers. 1t wasn't important.
1t didn't rate more than
four paragraphs. A man
with six children had been
out Of work a long time. He
got a job as a janitor in
q big apartment. He was
given a fiat. in the basement.
On the second morning. he
was sweeping the sidewalk
when he stepped of the curb
and was killed by a taxi.
The story was scanned by
at least 3 million people No
one did anything about it
except a fat comedian named
Jackie Gleason. He phoned
Q friend on a newspaper and
said: pal. I'll stand for the
funeral on that guy and I'll
take care of the wife and
kids for six months on one
condition: Nobody hears
about it. Nothing in the pa
per, and no mention of my
name"
1t was done his way. In
the case of Jack Paar. l know
Of two men who raped him
at parties and hoped loudly
that he would fail. In both
instances. Paar kept them on
the payroll. Why? Their
families need the money"
Jack said. IF I fire them,
I won't be able to sleep think
ing of their children. It's
easier for me to keep them
working"
Not too many years ago.
I was broke. I was doing
magazine work. but no editor
needed me. Now and then,
a check for SITS would come
in from the Sign. There was
no note with it. I would
phone Father Ralph German,
the editor, and ask what the
check was for. For an article
I want you to write" he
would say.
This was strange. because
