the father of a, child; It cannot
prove that- he -is. The grounds
you are considering (charging
your husband with 'fathering

unquestionably hurt many in-

Dear Cy4riosity:‘ A
"Hollywood, invitation" is that
empty, meaningless phrase,
"Why don't you come to see
us?" (When people really want
t� see you ,they will invite you.)
The best way to handle these
insincere, plastic invitations is
to ask, "When?"'
