Dennis Harrington of St. Louis Nightclub act was more (and less) than expected DEAR ABBY: All the employees of the restaurant where I recently took a job as cashier went to a nightclub to celebrate the birthdays of those of us who were born in March. First a young girl came out and did a singing telegram number that turned out to be a striptease, but that wasn't too bad! Then a man ran out on the stage wearing a false face mask with long gray hair attached to it. He danced around, removing first his mask, next his shirt, then his shoes and socks. Then he took off his trousers, revealing a pair of shorts on which was printed some vulgar messages. He continued his dancing, left the stage and came out into the audience making a lot of sexy movements, twisting his buttocks in everybody's face. Pretty soon he was down to a G-string, and when that came off he was bare naked except for a garter around his neck! Abby, I' ve been married for 18 years, and the only man I've seen naked was my husband. ^ • If I had been told what was coming and asked if I wanted to leave, Jjpould have left, but I had to sit there for the whole show, which ftkted 30 minutes. The entire audience was laughing and screaming. I wanted to crawl into a hole. What are my constitutional rights? At least movies are rated so people know what to expect. Why not nightclub en­ tertainment? DISGUSTED IN ILLINOIS DEAR DISGUSTED: Minors are protected under the law, but it is assumed that adults who go to such clubs know what kind of entertainment to expect. The phoment you felt uncomfortable, you had a constitutional right to walk out. DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I have been living together for the last year. Before we lived together, my parents offered to pay the entire cost of our wedding. We are being married soon and have started to make final arrangements, but their offer has not been mentioned again. What is the tradition regarding who pays forthe wedding? And does living together change the rules? CURIOUS BRIDE - TO - BE DEAR CURIOUS: Traditionally, the bride's parents pay for the wedding, but there 'are not "rules" that obligate them to do so. (It's a gift.) Traditionally, the couple wait until after they are married to liye together, so possibly your parents broke with the tradition of paying for your wedding because you broke with tradition by living together. I suggest you discuss this with your parents, DEAR ABBY: I have been going with this guy for eight years. He lives with his mother and I have never met her. They live on the other side Of town, and I have never even seen his house. He gave me a ring lour years ago, but I am beginning^ wonder if that means anything, i -r not getting any younger afid neither is he. I want to get marrie \ but I don't want to lose him by being .too pushy. Have you any advice for me9 NOT PUSHY DEAR NOT: Unless you want to wait around for another eight years, my advice for you is to give this man a deadline. Tell him that if there are no definite plans for marriage by July 4th, he can; have bis ring, and you can both declare your independence. Then s you might see some fireworks. handled the duties of best man. Groomsmen were the bride's brothers, Gary and Scott Freund of McHenry; and the groom's brother, Chris Besser of Skokie.
