Mary of England married
Philip of Spain in 1544. Philip
became the nominal king of
England but was excluded from
government by treaty. The
marriage put England on the
Spanish side in the war with
France, in which Calais, the
last English stronghold on the
continent, was lost. Mary died
14 years later and was suc-
ceeded by Elizabeth. It was
against Elizabeth that Philip
launched the Spanish Armada
in 1588.

DEAR ABBY: 1 worked for a doctor for six years. When
he had two examining rooms, two appointments were book
ed for the same time. When he added two more examining
rooms, four appointments were made for the same time. His
appointments were booked 15 minutes apart.
In my association with other doctors' receptionists, 1
learned that they all worked on the same principle-the
number of appointments booked lor a given time depended
on the number of examining rooms the doctor had.
I have suffered this fate as a patient. I suppose there are
exceptions if you are lucky enough to find a doctor who is
more interested in his patients than in their money.
Don't use mv name. I mav have to go back to work again.

DEAR ABBY: Hooray for STEAMED IN STOCKTON,
who was tempted to bill his physician $100 for the two hours
he spent cooling his heels in the outer office.
Listen to this: I made an appointment for a routine
physical six months in advance. W'hen I arrived, the waiting
room was packed with patients, An hour later. I was called
' into an examining room and was told to undress. 1 did. I sat
there unclothed for 40 minutes until his majesty, the doctor,
entered!
As soon as I was on the examining table, his telephone
rang. The doctor said. Excuse me," and proceeded to talk
another doctor about a business deal. They talked for 10
minutes, after w hich he phoned his secretary and asked her
to call vet another doctor. ■
I lay there seething w ith resentment w hile my doctor told
.the second doctor what. the.first doctor had told him about
their “tax shelter.”
I wasgiven a very fast examination, after which the doc
tor prescribed medication for high blood pressure. Believe
me, I know what caused it!

Give Security High Priority
NEW YORK (AP) - The
rapidly growing number of
women who travel for business
have the same general con-
cerns as do their male counter-
parts, but in some specific
areas their requirements are
different’, a recent survey
shows.
Security is a much higher
priority for women than for
men, the research by a hotel-
management company re-
vealed, with 60 percent of the
women preferring downtown lo-
cations, as opposed to only 43
percent of the men.
This may indicate a feeling of
greater safety in having con-
trolled access through a lobby
■ and elevators, rather than hav-
ing a room door opening
directly to the outside as in a
motel, the report notes.
In the study just completed
by Western International Ho-
tels, 53 percent of the group of
women who travel regularly in
connection with their work in-
dicated their needs were
DEAR ABBY: I gave my doctor a taste of his own
medicine a few years back. He used to keep'
hours before I could get in to see him.
1 was plenty annoyed, but I didn't want to change doctors
because 1 had gone to him for years, he had all my old
records and X rays, and 1 thought I might as well live with
the devil I knew' rather than the devil 1 didn't know.
Anyway, when it came time to pay him. I made HIM wait
for his money.
It never got me in any quicker, bull felt better about'hav-
ing to wait.

A widow (or widower) 60 or

she can opt to receive half of

This provision was inserted
into the 1977 amendments to
the Social Security law to take
care of situations in which
beneficiaries were living
together without marrying for

DEAR ABBY^ We had a doctor in Falls Church, Va.. who
w never -overbooked appointments. We never had to wait
more than five or 10 minutes to see him.. He had an excellent
practice, and was so conscientious he refused to take a new
patient unless he had lime. (He referred them to a
colleague.)
In Florida, it's another story. My husbjind had a 2 p.m. ap-'
pointment. At 4 p.m. he was still wailing. He approached the
nurse and asked, "Do 1 have to wait until the doctor sees all
these other people?" (There were about 10 people waitipg.l
The nurse replied. "You CERTAINLY do." With that, my
husband walked out!
