DEAR ABBY: Ralph and I got a call at 5 a.m. from Vera, the 30-year-old woman our 19-year-old son is living with. We had never met Vera, but we threw Junior out of our house because he was over her place all the time, anyway. Vera was frantic because Junior hadn’t been “home” for two nights. Imagine the gall! Ralph said Vera was hysterical, so he thought he should get dressed, go to her place and calm her down. Meanwhile, I went back to sleep. Well, Ralph was gone for 18 hours and I was half-crazy worrying about him. When he came home, I noticed he had worn his best suit and shoes. He told me he had taken Vera to dinner, and Junior never did show up. What do you call a man who leaves his wife’s bed to pacify a woman he’s never met because his son didn’t come “home” to her? His excuse was that he wanted to see the environment his son was living in. DISGUSTED DEAR DISGUSTED: How about a “C.P.E.” (Concerned Pacifying Environmentalist)? DEAR ABBY: When a friend has taken his own life, out of kindness and consideration for the family, should the whole thing be ignored as though it had never happened? I mean, should there be no flowers, letters of condolence, or mention of it at all? Some I have spoken to about this seem to feel that this is the best way to handle suicide deaths. What is your opinion? ANONYMOUS DEAR ANONYMOUS: When a dear one dies, his family suffers a loss, whether he has taken his own life or not. Friends should express their sorrow and offer words of comfort to the family without reference to the circumstances. DEAR ABBY: When some poor, ignorant, unimagina tive dolt points to the work of a serious modern artist and asks, "What is THAT supposed to be?” how should the artist respond? BEWILDERED DEAR BEWILDERED: The artist tells the dolt what he had in mind when he put the brush to the canvas. (If he can remember, that is.) Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. v 7 A ,jl OfeO Pam Duke and her daughter, Misty, as they appear on the record cover.
