V w The perils of Pauline couldn't be worse than the experience this sweet fawn and white female had. She was caught in a steel t.~ap and carried it around for a week as no one could catch her to remove it. Finally someone set a Havaheart trap in which she was caught and they were able to release her left front leg from the cruel trap. She is perfect physically but somewhat upset understandably from the experience. She needs that extra attention a kind patient person could give her and she'll respond by being an affectionate, grateful, well-trained pet. She's between 6 to 8 months. Call 312-658-6261.

I can only see him on weekends and during the week I get so lonely 1 could die. Before I got the engagement ring both my fiancee and I dated other people We agreed it was best to just go out with friends and that everything frould be bet­ ter if we did that. I never got seriously involved with anyone but I did go out with one guy quite a bit When I told this other guy I had gotten engaged during Christmas he was furious He hasn't called me in a month and I would like to see him. Don't think I want to get anything started with him -- I just want to remain friends He's known a- bout my fiancee since the begin­ ning. so I wasn't tricking him. Should I call and ask him over for dinner? My fiancee says I can do whatever I want but I don't know what to do Confused Dear Confused: Since you are engaged I don't think you need to date other people And because you can see your fiancee on weekends. I shouldn't think it would be that hard to busy yourself with other activities during the week It's fine if you want to see your "friend" but remember that he is probably hurt over your engage­ ment -- even if you did tell him. Give him some time to get ad­ justed to the idea and then give him a call Maybe a friendly phone call would be better than dinner -- at least until you and your new husband are settle# Then you both could invite him to dinner.. _ I hate to be writing you about such a silly thing but I'm so mad right now I just need to release my frustrations Last night this guy I've dated occasionally (and really like a lot) called me to ask what I was doing 1 told him I was going to a party that a mutual friend of ours was having and he asked if he could meet me there I said okay and we agreed to gd out for something to eat after the party. It was not a formal date but I at least expected him to show up at the party. He never bothered to call with an excuse and several of his friends were there so I know he wasn't out with the boys What should I say to him the next time I talk to him I just think it was a mean thing to do -- especially since he made the effort to ask me to meet him in the first place Stood Up Dear Stood Up: There isn't a girl alive who likes to be forgotten The guy was wrong in not showing up or calling with an apology How­ ever, don't play games Per­ haps he has a perfectly good reason for not being there and will tell you the next time you see each other If he doesn't, ask him to please remember that you don't appreciate him breaking plans without at least notifying you first If he respects you at all. he'll be more courteous in the future Don't act upset or an­ gered, just tell him you'd like a bit more consideration This way he won't get the idea that you're sitting home moaning away over the fact that he didn't show up (It you would hk* Collaan s comment* on your particular situation or problem writ* COLLEEN Box639 Frankfort Ky 40601 ) DID YOU KNOW? m m I An Adult HIPPOPOTAMUS WILL EAT AROUND 130 LBS.
