When I learned of my husband's unfaithfulness too, nearly went out of my mind. I felt betrayed, alone and hopelessly inadequate. My eyes were filled with tears 24 hours a day. 1 wept so much it was beginning to interfere with my vision.

Then a wise, understanding clergyman uttered a few sentences that changed my life and snapped me back to reahty. He said: "Shape up and dry up. Your husband has said he is sorry. He can't undo what's been done. You can drop tears in the dishwater, on the ironing board and in the vegetable stew.

You can drench your pillow at night. It won't change a thing. Yesterday is gone and be thankful it is. Forget yesterday and make something better out of tomorrow." I took his advice and I am A NEW WOMAN Dear Woman: Bravo for you and a 21-gun salute to the clergyman who gave you the shove you needed. What you did, others can do.

Thanks for sharing. if they could. What do you say? ORANGE BLOSSOMS Dear Blossoms: Clyde's trouble is not In his feet, it's In his head. He sounds immature, unstable and, in my opinion he's a poor risk. You need him like Custer needed more Indians.

Dear Ann Landers: Four days before our wedding (which was planned for May 1st) Clyde decided he wasn't ready for marriage. He asked me to postpone everything until he "found him- selL" I was deeply humiliated but went ahead and told everyone that Clyde was ill. In August he said he had "found himself" so we set the date for October 1. This time Clyde really did get sick a raging fever that lasted for five days. The doctor never did figure out what caused it.

Again we postponed the wedding. Last night we talked about setting a date and again Clyde is unsure. He's no kid, Ann he's been out of college for five years. My mother says all men get cold feet about marriage and would get out of it at the last minute Dear Ann Landers: Can you help us poor suckers who enter contests and never hear what happened to our entries? I have spent so much money on products I didn't need (not to mention tho time) that I am ashamed of myself. Some contest forms say they will send a list of the winners if one is requested.

So far I have yet to receive one. In the 10 years I have been entering contests I have never won so much as an honorable mention. Once I entered a slogan contest and everyone said my slogan was great. I didn't win anythih'g. When the first place slogan was announced in the paper I was siiocked It was so similar to my entry that I will always think something was fishy.

Please tell me how these outfits get away swindling people. It's time the pubUc was given the SMALL FISH Dear Fish: Hold the phone. You've made some pretty serious accusations no evidence to support your statements. The fact that you've never won a prize doesn't mean the contests are fraudulent. If you want to Inquire about a specific contest, write to the Better Business Bureau and they will check It out thoroughly.
