S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN imummommumm cibromocreiegrain&Thlicate This big boy—With The captivating smile is Donny, He will soon be 11 months old. He's A tall, sturdy fellow, already wearing size -three clothes, and he's well-nourished (as you can tell). ••Anglo-Saxon in descent, Donny is a healthy baby with large darkeyes, long and thick lashes, brown hair and olive &kin. He is, always good-natured, except for brief periods when a tooth (he has eight)- is making him uncomfortable. Even then he doesn't fuss if he gets lots of cuddling. When he was younger, Donny was content to sit and •watch other people being active, but now he seems te feel he must make up for lost tine. He likes to be free from his play pen so he can crawl all oyer his foster home. He loves children to play with. This cheerful, affectionate baby will be a happy addition to a family for whom academic achievement is not all-im- portant. To inquire about adepting Donny please write to Today's Child, The Toronto Telgram, 440 Front Street .West, Toronto 135. For general adoption information ask your Children's Aid Society.

Do you believe it? —Marcia's motber is about 40 pounds overweight. She's fat and sloppy and all her • dresses are ibusting out in the seams, All she talks about is her back trouble and her dental problems. I think she drinks a little. -Marcia is not overweight but she is big -boned. , -When she gets mad she looks like her mother. Last night her brother showed s me the family album. I thought I was looking at pictures of Marcia. When I found out they were pictures of Marcia's mother when she was 20 I got nauseated. Now I'm scared to death. What do you think? —Steve. Dear Steve: I think you should find another. girl. Even it Marcia doesn't turn out like her mother, you'd be expecting her to any minute. Better for Marcia, too, if she dated guys who don't, know any old Hungarian sayings. Dear Ann Landers: I wonder how many readers see themselves in your column? I saw myself in the letter from the, girl who Said her father was so strict she felt as if he were a stranger. Odd that I, a woman of 30, with children of my own, should see myself in the letter, of a 16 -year-old girl. I grew up in a home where my father was a stranger and so was my mother. They were strangers to each other and to my sister and me. Never a, sign of affection. or warmth. Never an arm around a shoulder, even during, illness. No endearing names, no word of praise or a compliment when we did well. The memories of my childhood are tilled with loneliness. • Often we were disciplined harshly with no 'knowledge of what we did wrong. A few years ago, when my father was dying from a fatal illness, I wanted so much to put my arms around him but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It would have been out of place. I look back with deep sorrow at my childhood and I hope this letter will open some eyes — and some hearts. — No Name.

SINESS DIRECTORY Polley .proposes new marriage By aill-Smiley Young people of today, as we --all know, don't want to det anything the way their elders did it. This includes getting married. Most still stick to the tra- ditional service; but many modern wedding ceremonies are completely different from the rime -honored and time- worn ceremony that most of us endured, Nowadays, rnstead of hear- ing the organ triumphantly booming "Here Comes the Bride," you may be startled, but shouldn't be surprised, to hear someone belting out "Hey, Jude!" - with guitar accompaniment. Instead of the comforting, traditional and often anachro- . nistic passages ill the orthci- dox ceremony, you may hear an erotic poem by Leonard "Cohen. Any day now, you'll see the men lined up to kiss the groom on both cheeks and shake hands with the bride. In many ways, I agree with the trend. I had the devil's own time with my wife be- ,- fore our nuptial vows were finally nuptiallized. . She wanted the "obey" deleted from the phrase, "love, honor and obey," and 'fought me right .up° to the altar, where she muttered it only to avoid a scene. And, of course, she has never obeyed me since. Another bit that_ got her back up was, "With my body I thee honor,"'spoken by the groom only. She took it the wrong way, and thought it a perfect example of male vani- ty. "In sickness and in health" is an'oth'er howler that could be jettisoned. When I'm prai- tically-dyitrg with the 'flu, she has less sympathy than she would have for a rattlesnake making its death rattle. And if therera anything I can't 'stand, it's having a sick wife -'malingering around the place and not getting the meals. ' The last bit of 'farce at our wedding was when the preacher, being a little coy, looked at me and asked, "Would'you care to salute the bride?" It' was an Anglican ceremony and I was a bit at sga anyway. In addition, I Was just out of the air force, where "salute" meant just that. gawked. At him.as he re- peated the question. "Well," thought, "if -this is the way these Anglicans do it, O.K., made a smart left turn and WAS about to -whip up a snappy salute, when my bride, who kriew the damS1 fool was telling me to kiss her, solved the situation by grabbing me around the neck and kissing me. It was a beau- tiful kiss. I got a mouthful of her veil-and-thees-about all. But with my personal ex- perience, and in view of the divorce rate today, I'd go fur- ther than the'rnodern kids do'. Not only would I bring the serviee up to date, I'd insist on an air -tight contract to be signed by both parties before they swore to anything. There's not nearly enough space here to set out the con- tract in full, but I'll give you a skeleton, and you can fill in the flesh. ITEM.
