DEAR ABBY: When there
is an office party, the wives
are invited, which I think is
fine. They always have music
for dancing, but my husband
spends the entire evening
dancing with the boss wife.
He says it makes a big hit
with the boss because the
boss is then free to have
himself a ball with the cute
young things. You see, the
boss doesn't care to dance
with his own wife, and he
can't very well leave her sit

others. My husband doesn't
worry about whether I am
sitting alone or dancing. I
am all for my husband be-

STOP KILLING

By Or. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
question is: What is wrong
with people nowadays? Prac-
tically everyone ! know feels
chronically i'll or tired - or
both. They come down with
one illness after another,
even when they are quite
young. I am almost Al, have
never been sick, and people
half my age can't keep up
with me because I have so
much energy. Am I abnor-
NAL?
NO, NOT ABNORMAL.
Just fortunate. If you're su-
perstitiOus, better keep
knocking on wood.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I had
an operation for stomach
ulcer. I asked how much the
total fee would be before
making my decision. He said
$400. I paid it. Three days
later I received another bill
for $40 from a doctor who
said he assisted at the op-
Grafton. Il had never even
met him.
Sometime ago I read some
thing in your column to the
effect that q patient should
always discuss fees before
having any medical or Surgi-
cal work done. Well, I did,
and what did it get me? Do
you think it's fair? I will ap-
preciate your opinion.-Mr.
x, California.
1T is NOT MY policy to
enter into any fee disputes.
However, I owe you some ad-
ditional advice in view Of the
fact that you did what I sug-
gested in my previous
column.
Take this matter up with
your surgeon. He may be un-
aware Of the additional bill.

and you still have doubts,

DEAR ABBY: I asked a

turning it over to me, she

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM NORRIS

Question: My l2-year-old
son recently acquired a boom
erang. After a couple of near
misses, when the weapon sailed
past his ears little too close
for comfort, he got around to
asking me what the word
boomerang" means, anyway.
Beyond guessing that it is of
Australian origin, couldn't
tell him. What's your verdict?
Answer: I'm afraid you have
told him just about all there
is to tell. The word was coined
by the Australian aborigines
to describe the weapon which
they created-and which Amer
lcan youngsters are beginning
to discover as a plaything. I
suppose the word may have
had some such significance in
aboriginal lingo as weapon
that flies through the air and
returns to part the thrower's
halr"-but that's just a guess.
-
Still on the subject of Aus
tralia, a reader in Chicago asks
where the term kangaroo
court" originated.
A kangaroo court" for the
benefit of the uninitiated, is
an illegal mock or sham court,
usually one set up by inmates
of a prison to levy fires and
punishment on other inmates
who violate the code" Such
organizations, usually very in
formal in nature, exist in most
large prisons and are even en-
couraged by some wardens as
a useful device for maintain
ing order.
The name probably origin
ated at the time when Aus
tralia-land of the kangaroo
was the penal colony for the
British Empire.
The term has occasionally
and inaccurately-been applied
to the kind of roadside Justice
of the Peace court which ex-
lists only to collect fines from
motorists caught in speed traps.

OF a switch to diamonds, and
tried the spade finesse.
II dummy's queen Of spades

AS it happened, the spade

To be specific, South could
make the contract if the spades

Good Defense
The opponents put up a good
defense by collecting their club
