DEAR ABBY: Regarding the letter about the man marry
ing a girl who was six months pregnant with another man's
child: that's my son you are talking about, and I am so very
proud of him.
He was engaged to this girl, and her brother in law took
advantage of her. My son went ahead and married her, ad
vancing the wedding date so he could take care of her.
He's claiming the child as his own. and as far as I'm con-
cerned. that child will be treated exactly like all my other

Her Kisses
Tell—On Him
By Abigail Van Buren
1979 by Chicago TnibuneN Y NewsSynd Inc
DEAR ABBY: I‘m a man, over 70. My wife died suddenly
several months ago. and I found out that I just couldn't get
along without female companionship.
As a young man I suppose I had the usual number of
girlfriends, bull haven't courted for 50 years, and am rather
rusty.
I recently asked a woman in my age group to accompany
me to a variety of social engagements. She was most
agreeable. She turned out to be a warm, lively, affectionate
companion, and I must admit that I am crazy about her!
The problem: Her kisses. Abby, this woman's kisses shake
me from top to toe. I don't know why. I hate to call it "tech
nique" or suggest that she has developed her kissing pur
posely, but she must be conscious of the effect her kissing
has on males. (She is a widow.) I can't learn from her because
I don't know what she is doing. I only know that this
woman's kisses drive me crazy. All the kisses I have had
before are just not in the same league. She is gentle. She is
loving, but I am glad that not all women kiss the way she
does. There must be a happy medium.
OVERWHELMED
DEAR OVER: Are you complaining? While kissing is
basically natural, technigues are developed. This woman is
giving you a message She's probably crazy about you, too,
so don't dismiss it as a routine "tongue-in-cheek" matter.
DEAR ABBY: ASKING IN ALASKA says. "Kids who
live together before marriage don't deserve wedding
presents, so they shouldn't be sent any." And you replied,
“It won't work. Most parents (and relatives) are so glad that
the kids finally made it legal, they send gifts anyway."
Well, here's how I handle it: Out of respect to the parents.
I send a gift. I buy the first low priced, ugly. useless piece of
junk I see. have it gift wrapped and sent. (If there's a
shower, I do the same.)
I figure the gift is as appropriate as the wedding. And if
Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy Morals have any perception at all, they
will get the message that their wedding is no more mean
ingful to me than it is to them.
REALISTIC IN MASS.
DEAR REALISTIC: Since you send a gift “out of respect
of the parents," how much “respect" do you think a "lew-
priced. ugly, useless piece of junk" will convey?
You’d be ahead to save your time, money and “respect,"
and send nothing.
