SUCKER. Dear Ann Landers: Recently I learned that my dad fathered a child by a single woman 1 0 years ago, during his second marriage. His current wife had children by her first husband and the youngest child was legally adopted by my dad. My dilemma is this: The woman doesn't know where my father is and she needs his address in order to sue him for child support. We met briefly and I was shown several photographs of the child as well as the birth certificate.

After our meeting, I was convinced that she was completely honest with me and that my dad did indeed father her child. Although my relationship with my dad is not a close one, we communicate periodically and get along fairly well. I would never confront him since I'm sure he would deny it and never speak to me again. Yet, I find it difficult to turn my back on the woman because too, am a single mother raising a daughter without any child support or state aid and I know how hard it is. I hope you will give me some advice so that I can make the right decision.

Just sign me Between a Rock and a Hard Place in Lake Country Dear Rock: While a small part of me says you owe your father loyalty, a larger part of me says justice needs to be served and you are in a position to see that it is. I say, help the woman get what she is entitled to. If she has an ounce of integrity, she will not betray you. If she's lying, a blood test will exonerate your father.

The man never gets enough and I am sick of his selfishness. If I give him what he wants I can buy anything I want. If I refuse him, my life is hell. I went for counseling to learn how to deal with this problem. The therapist said my husband is emotionally underdeveloped because his' father died when he was 2 and his mother was sick a lot.

He has no bad habits and does not chase other women. I am sure of this because he talks in his sleep and I'm a careful listener. Don't tell me to leave him because my boyfriend will not leave his wife. I'm 54, too old to start over. Please advise.

N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Maybe if you eliminated your boyfriend, you'd have more energy for your husband. I recommend it. 3 I 1 1 Ml WUH III 1 MW0 Kino Features Syndicate Inc. 53 35 17 53 a JO 31 Ji 1ZZZZ J6 I 55 I I 1 ft flj Letters may be sent to Ann Landers in care of The Times, P.O.

Box 30222, Shreveport, La. 7 1 130-0222. Opening lead 7 10 Cover the West and South hands and defend against today's contract from the East position. South plays a low heart from dummy at the first trick, and you take the ace. What next? No doubt you shifted to diamonds, but did you lead the ten? If you lead low, South plays the four, and West must play the king to win.

South's A-J are then worth two tricks. The lead of the ten is an honor-trapping or "surrounding" play, a maneuver covered in any good book on defense. This play limits South to one diamond trick (try it), and the defenders get three diamonds and East's two aces to beat the contract. Note that it's wise to take the ace of hearts at the first trick. If you play low, South takes the king, sets up the clubs, and has nine tricks.

If you went wrong, it may be time to visit a bookseller and survey his wares. TODAY'S CALENDAR DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES Here's how to work it: A LB A A isLONGFELLOW One letter stands (or another.
