DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I adopted a lovely baby
3 years ago. We were unable
to have children. so need I
tell you how much this child
means to us?
Now my husband and I
can't get along. Everything I
do irritates him. And he
makes me so nervous I can't
think straight. The only an
swer is divorce. Do you think
it would be fair If I kept the
child for six months and my
husband had her the other
six months? His mother
would make a home for her.
This seems the only fair way.
We're both young enough to
start our lives over with

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

INSTRUCTIONS: Harry
Hopkins, confidant and ad-
wiser of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, took a delight in
debating SnobS.
At one time, he was invited
to dinner at the home of a
snooty Washington hostess.
Knowing his reputation for
informality, she made it a
point to send him detailed in
structions in what to wear.
This scarcely endeared her
to Hopkins. However, he fol-
lowed her instructions to the
letter. But when he arrived
at her home, he had one fin
ishing touch to add. After re-
moving his hat and coat, he
stopped before the mirror in
the entrance-hall, took an
electric razor from his pocket,
plugged 1t in, and started
shaving.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: How did the word
"bootlegger" originate?-E. A,
Mclean, Va.
Answer: Simply from the fact
that the first bootleggers car
ried Illicit merchandise in the
legs OF high boots when making
deliveries. In this sense, the
word was common in the mid
die 10th century. Since the
most easily made and profitably
sold commodity was illicit
liquor, "bootlegger" gradually
became a label applied to dis
tributors of illegal booze.
Question: How do you stand
on due to-? An Office mate
tells me it's wrong to start a
sentence like this: due to the
emergency, there will be no de-
liveries. What do YOU say?
L. p, Pittsburgh.
Answer: Many puristS feel
that due" should be used as
an adjective only, c"the pay
ment is due") not as part of a
prepositional phrase "due to-,
as in the example you give.
However, studies of actual
usage in magazines. news
papers and in the writings of
leading authors from Gals
worthy to the present, indicate
that "due to" is very widely
used indeed. One of our lead
ing language authorities, DR..
John S. Kenyon, puts it this
way: Strong as is my own

agree enthusiastically with
your views on how to stop
smoking; and that not every
body likes exercise. The only
way to quit smoking is to just
quit. I did just that 40 years
ago and have never smoked
since. I suffered from chron-
ic bronchitis and finally de-
cided for myself that God
gave me lungs to be used for
breathing fresh air and not
smoke.
I was about to be married
and I began to think that
tobacco-breath might not be
attractive to a new bride
whom I was anxious to
please. So I threw away my
pipes. half a box of cigars
and my favorite tobacco and
quit! RIGHT THEM!
My bronchitis improved,
and for the first time in years
my mouth didn't taste like a
motorman's glove.
AS for exercise, I walk two
miles a day, regardless of
weather, in order to get a
bus. In the summer I take
care of a big lawn which re-
quires frequent moving. dig
and plant several flower gar
dens, and a vegetable garden.
All this is done after my
regular days work. But 1
must admit I would rather
do a lot less. If I knew of any
way to sit down or lie around
instead of getting out and
chasing a lawn mower night
after night I would be
pleased. I'm getting a bit
tired!-Mr. c., Rhode Island.

There is a danger point in
the self diagnosis of acute
appendicitis. Remember that
the pain doesn't have to start
on the lower right side. It
can hurt all over the abdo-
men. There may be or may
not be vomiting or nausea.
Even fever may be absent.
THIS is especially import
ant: If severe. cramp-like
pain has been present for
hours and suddenly disap-
pears, don't be too sure that
the danger is over. Sometimes
there is temporary freedom
from pain right after the ap-
pendix ruptures and peritoni-
tbs is on the way.
The moral seems to be:
When you come down with
stomach cramps that don't
seem to go away, don't al

friendships with youngsters
of her own age. I have held
what might be considered
open house for the neighbor-
hood ever since she was of
nursery school age.
In spite Of this, Brenda has
no really close friends. She
is quite unhappy about it.
But I never suspected she
blamed me until the other
night when she broke down
and cried. She said it was all
my fault for not treating hel
friends right. This is crazy
since I have put myself out
for her friends as no other
mother has.
Brenda S.-My mother acts
so crazy I often feel ashamed
of her in front of my friends.
I just know they talk and
laugh about her behind our
backs.
Mother keeps thinking up
weird ideas for parties and
party games. Most Of the
time these are old-fashioned
or they're for kids. A few
months ago she tried organ
izing a treasure hunt. Well,
what kind of 14-year-old kids
want to go on a treasure
hunt?
When bring a friend over

THE COUNCILS VIEW
A child's eyes can be very
cruel and we suspect that in
this case, at least, they are
also fairly accurate. The
image Brenda has drawn of
her mother is that of a
woman tormented by a sense
of inadequacy, driven by a
need to press her favors on
others-lest they bypass her.
The fact that Brenda feels
shamed by her mother points
to some deep-seated feelings
Of inferiority on her own
part. Self confident chill
dren always find some reasons
to take pride in their
parents.
Mrs. F. SIS statement sug-
geStS that she sees Brenda
as a deprived child and has
succeeded in transmitting
4 this image to her daughter.
Her guilt feelings are un-
realistically based. Many only
children consider themselves
highly privileged.
Mrs. F. S. should try to
wit h draw herself from
Brenda's social world and let
Brenda do the honors of the
house for her own friends.
