TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS

If you can’t deci

QUESTION: Perhaps you
will find it hard to believe
but I have the problem of
feeling very very much
drawn to two different men.
I ‘m not talking ordinary
dating attraction, F'm talking
the real thing. They both
want to marry me and I've
been putting off a decision

for quite a while. Both
felows know of my friend-
ship with the other. I am not
playing one against the other
or anything like that. Mr. A.
is undoubtedly the more in-
telligent and capable. He is
more likely to be “succes-

“people

sfuF’ than is Mr. B. He is a
winner in my estimation. On
the other hand, Mr. B. ts
down-to-earth and natural
and warm. He seems to
relate’ well to all kinds of
and has many
friends. Mr. A. seems to me
to be awfully close to being a
driver. On the other hand,

Mr. B. & so laid back and
comfortable that I wonder
sometimes ff he has enough
push to amount to anything.
Mr. A. is awfully good at
initiating enjoyable activites,
bat Mr. B. seems content

simply to enjoy me and

One woman's idea helps many seniors

QUESTION: J have a vague
feeling that you wrote
something several months
ago about a woman who had
taken an interest in helping
senior citizens who want to
travel, to find travel mates or
groups to travel together. Is
that right? I had no reason to
be interested at the time, but

there has been a develop-—

ment In our family that
makes it a matter of interest
now. Is there any chance
that the woman has con-
tinwed in that worth-while
project or has it fizzled? If k
fs stfil going, do you mind
giving me cnoagh in-

formation for me to ask
some questions of the right
person?

STEWART: It has not
fizzled! I heard just last week
that the project has ex-
panded unbelievably. In the
few months it has been in
existence, the North Shore
‘group (where it started) has
70 happily participating
people in it. Moreover,
branches have started in
Richmond, the West End,
Port Coquitlam and Arbutus
Village. There are four
groups for women and one
for couples. There has been
a widening of horizons in

B., he makes me feel ike 'm

Now, more seriously, let
me ask you why it would not
be a good idea for you to go
on enjoyifig Mr. A. and Mr.
B. until you find which onc is
becoming less and _iess

enjoyable?

‘And keep im mind all the
while that Mr. C. is probably
hovering around trymg to
find you!

A. and B. may be making
it a Little difficult for you to

you meet D. and E! When

Marriage is great!

QUESTION: Tm _ really
disillusioned aboet
marriage. I want to get out
of mise and never get into
another. I think marriage bs a
thing of the past. If you
could be real homes: with
your readers, don't you think
that marringe & om the way
out?

STEWART: To tell you
truth (which you asked fér) I
am really not the

interested in your q

not trying to make moncy
out of her good idea. 'm so
grateful for Heather and for
other “Heathers” that pop up
every little while. To quote a
famous old mixed metaphor,
Heather smelt a rat, saw it
floating in the air and nipped
it im the bud and from that
came FRIENDS

You see, today is our 47th
anniversary and Norma and I
have decided that of the 47
packages of 12 months each,
this last one has been the
best of the lot! [I'm sorry
about your bitterness, but
Fm wrapped up in my own
joy. Forgive my _self-

bar fm m no
mood on this day to delve
into what's happening to
marriage, when what's
happened in OUR marriage
has been just fine and dandy.

on Aor B, look for Mr. C

men, enjoy it ‘til you don't
feel torn. What strange

names your friends have!
