My first husband died when he was 50 and I think I know what killed him. My second husband was also after me night and day. I had to Gardeners Hold Yule Workshop couples who want to dissolve their marriage with the comfort, concern and blessing of the church. Says the minister: "Couples who prefer to say 'I do' in church should also have the privilege of saying 'I don't' in a religious setting." So far the minister has had no requests for his church divorce ceremony. And that's easy to understand.

For it would certainly raise a few problems. Like what would the bride-thatwas wear for the ceremony? Would the couple invite their friends to the ceremony? And would they be able to agree on which were truly friend to both? If either was planning to remarry right away as so. often happens in such cases would the next husband or wife be asked to the ceremony? Should there be a reception afterward? Should there be separate trips for husband and wife to mark the beginning of their lives without each other, just as the honeymoon trip began their marriage? And should announcements of the ceremony be sent to friends at a distance who couldn't possbily have attended the divorce ceremony even if it were decided that friends should be invited? And, on yes, should the church be decorated with flowers? And if so, what would seem most appropriate snapdragons or forget-me-nots? A church wedding isn't the easiest ceremony tor arrange.

Ask around, will you? PADUCAH SHIMMY QUEEN Dear Ann: Please tell "Warrior" he is an ignorant boob. When will men learn that sex and love are not the same thing? A simple, "I love you," a warm caress, or a sweet kiss on the cheek would keep most hard working, floor scrubbing, baby tending wives happy for a week. In fact, a little affection WITHOUT sex as the objective, would be darned welcome. Women get tired, too, you know. MADELINE Dear Ann: "Warrior" had a lot to say about women, most of it rubbish.

We Have The "Makings" The VILLAGE GIFT SHOP and Garden Club Center 1330 Third Street Dear Ann: Why don't men wise up? The reason women attach so much importance to sex is because it's the only method of communication open to us. Men don't talk anymore.

My Lochinvar has been giving me the old routine "I'm dead tired beating my brains out making a living for you and the kids bla bla bla."
