At my age, 1 really don't need someone who is always looking for the cheapest way to go. I'd rather pay my own way, but it's nice to have a male companion. We get along very well, by the way. What do you suggest? Likes to Go First Dear Likes: If you get along well and enjoy the gentleman's company, insist on going Dutch.

That way you may order whatever yon want, and he can see firsthand that you are a lady who enjoys the best. If that doesn't loosen the old boy up, he's hopeless. The facts about drugs, AIDS and how to prevent unwanted pregnancy are all in Abby's new, expanded booklet, "What Every Teen Should Know." To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $3.50 ($4 in Canada) to: Dear Abby's Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, III. 61054.

"How to Have a Lovely Wedding" is a revised, up-to-date guide for formal church weddings, home weddings, scc-ond-timc-around weddings: To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $2.89 ($3.39 in Canada) to: Abby's Wedding Booklet, sweetheart and call someone you love and say, "I love you." Make two or three calls. Who said you can't love more than one person? in different ways, of course. Go through your closets and part with those clothes you've been saving until you lose 10 pounds. Your favorite charity can turn those good-as-new garments into cash.

Call someone who's lonely and say, "I'm thinking of you." Or better yet, say, Til be over tomorrow to take you to lunch, run some errands or give you a ride." Arrange a date for someone who doesn't get many. Take an oath never to drive if Jrou've been drinking and don't et anyone who has been drinking drive. Forgive an enemy, quit smoking, count your calories, return that book (and everything else) you've borrowed, update your will, donate your eyes, your kidneys and all usable organs to someone who can use them after you're gone. Spay your dog, neuter your cat, pay your dentist, hug your teen-ager, listen to bore and stop littering. Always drive carefully, and if you're walking, thank God you're able to, and watch where you're going.

And don't wait until next St Valentine's Day to be a sweetheart again. Dear Abby. I'm sure my problem isn't too uncommon, but even at my age (I'm a senior citizen), it has me somewhat baffled. 1 was asked out to lunch by a gentleman who made it rather clear that we should order the "special" of the house. (It was not an inexpensive restaurant, by the way.) Abby, I'm not used to having to order the cheapest thing on the menu, and I resent it.

I believe that when a gentleman asks a lady out, he should be prepared to allow her to order whatever she pleases. Am I wrong? Well, he has asked me out again. I really like going to nice restaurants, and this man can well afford it. He seems to want to spend some time with me (he calls me every day), but how can 1 let him know I enjoy the finer things of life without seeming CALVIN AND HOBBES CM.VIN, 1CWNE SOT TWO TO UNLOCK MS DOOR MAD GWE ME BACK iWQL. i wmm iCU KNOW, ROSMfH, I'D SUGGEST WJ ADOPT A MORE HUMBLE ATTITUDE.

Goren and Omar Sharif Q.l Neither vulnerable, as South you hold: A 7 6 2 3 2 OK 10 6 5 2 The bidding has proceeded: North East South West 10 DM. What action do you take? A.l Because East's double is primarily a takeout for the major suits, there is no point to showing your weak spade suit.

And why venture two clubs? Although you have the values for one no trump, your hand is unbalanced; so all you can do is pass to sec how the auction develops. Q.2 As South, vulnerable, you hold: AQ4VAKJ762 07 34Q9 The bidding has proceeded: South West North East iV Pass 20 Pass What do you bid now? A.2 This is borderline. If you have a partner who might drop the bidding in two hearts, jump to three. However, if partner can be trusted to bid again, then two hearts is sufficient. Your queen of clubs is of doubtful value.

Q.3 As South, vulnerable, you hold: A 4 VA 7 6 2 07 .1 9 The bidding has proceeded: South West North East 17 Pass 2 Pass What do you bid now? A.3 The fact that your queen is now in partner's suit makes a world of difference it is probably worth a full trick. Now a jump to three hearts (or a reverse bid of two spades, if you like the fancy stuff) is clear cut. Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the cartoon above.

A.4 The fact that you have a minimum opening bid and excellent three-card support, for partner's second suit doesn't relieve you of the obligation of finding your side's best spot. Partner's first-bid suit is at least as long, and probably longer, than his second, so you must correct to two spades despite the disparity in the strength pf your holdings. 1 wouldn't say we're in trouble, but Loretta is wiping her fingerprints off the silverware.".
