DEAR SALLY
BY SALLY SHAW
DEAR SALLY: I’ve been kept
on the brink of matrimony for
over three years, but my fiance
keeps shying away from the final
We've had the marriage
license so long the paper has
yellowed with age and I’m not
even sure it's stlli good. Also,
we have both taken three blood
tests, but everytlme at the last
minute he has come up with an
excuse for postponing the
nuptials. Now he has suggested
that we go for another blood
test. Do you think I should do
this once more? DANGLING.
DEAR DANGLING: You can if
you wish, but if I were you I’d
give my blood to the Blood
Bank and find myself a fellow
with Integrity.

DEAR SALLY: 1 met a beauti
ful girl at a cocktail party last
night. She was seated on a sofa
and I sat beside her, we got
along famously, and she gave
me her phone number. But then
later when we both got up from
the sofa I was stunned to dis
cover that she is at least two
inches taller than my five feet
'"‘B inches! She didn't seem to
make anything of this and even
said, "I’ll be seeing you,” when
we parted at the end of the par
ty. But I still don't know wheth
er to call her or not. .whether
she’d be interested in going out
with a guy as short as I am.
What do you say? DUBIOUS.
DEAR DUBIOUS: She saw
your height before you sat doyn
beside her, and still she gave
you her phone number, didn’t
she? And now it could be that
she’s wondering if YOU would
be interested in going out witn
a girl as TALL as she Is. If
you are, get on that phone im
mediately!

DEAR SALLY: Normally my
husband is the nicest, kindest,
most courteous, most person
able man you’d ever want to
meet. . .until he climbs behind
the wheel of our car. Then a
j metamorphosis takes place. . .
he becomes a "Mr. Hyde.” He
rages over every apparent er
ror on the part of other drivers,
he swears at them, fumes and
frets, and even embarrasses me
sometimes by sticking his head
out the window and shouting at
them. It's getting so I hate driv
ing anywhere with him. What can
I do?’ SHATTERED NERVES.
DEAR SHATTERED NERVES:
Have a little talk with your
husband about this, and if he’s
as nice, courteous, kind, and
personable as you say in other
things, he’ll listen to wnat you
have to say about this bad habit
of his and how it’s wrecking
your nerves. Tel! him that,
unless he does something about
controlling himself, you’ll he
compelled to stop riding with
him. , .anywhere,

have been continuous active du
ty, to qualify for these benefits.

benefits have been forfeited ap
ply for reinstatement of those
benefits?

to VA benefits for which he is
eligible.
