Their vows were heard by the Rev. Harold E. Wedlock. The trash is running over since he ran out By Abigail Van Buren it cniuK TribMfrN. Y.

Niwt IK. DEAR ABBY: I have been living with Joe for six months. fell so much in love with him couldn't help myself. He said he loved me, too, but he never really believed that I loved him. Someone told me that Joe planning to skip town one of these days and not tell anyone where he was going.

I asked Joe ahoul it and he said it wasn't true. I guess it was, because he has been mussing for six days and live nights and no one has seen or heard from him. I am so worried and heartbroken I cry myself to sleep every night. I keep thinking he's been in an accident or something. I won't even go outside to empty the trash for fear Joe will telephone me and I'll miss his call.

Please tell me what to do. HEARTBROKEN DEAIt HEAHTBIIOKEM: The person who told you that Joe was planning on skipping town evidently knew more about -loe than you did. Chances arc he's all right, so don't worry about Ills safety. Hut it might he wise to wonder what kind of man would cause you so much grief when one telephone call would cose your aching heart. Empty (he trash and get iulu your normal routine.

He'll luni up. Had pennies always tlo. DEAR ABBY: Your halting average is about 99 per cent, which is so high no one should squawk; but when you goof, you sure blow it sky high. Advising a secretary not to tell her boss that his wife went into his office and rummaged thru his drawers and inspected his files during his absence is completely unjust and unfair. Without prejudging tiie motives of the boss' wife, a simple statement of who went into his office in his absence is sufficient.

If I knew that my secretary withheld any information from me about any activity in my place of business, she wouldn't be my secretary very long. Did you consider what could happen it wife walked off with something valuable from her husband's office? The secretary would he suspect. You sort of shot from the hip on that one. E. DEAR K.

I certainly did. And it missed the mark. Thanks for adjusting my sights. DEAR ABBY: I am married to a wonderful guy who is now serving in the armed forces. We are on a very light budget as Mark doesn't make much money.

We arc having serious disagreement. Mark wants us to share, apartment with another couple to save expenses. He's known them only few weeks and I've never met them. The otlrer wife is in her teens and has a small baby. Abby, Mark and I arc ncwlyweds and 1 want a place of.

our it's only a hole in the wall. Mark says we girls can shai-c Hie housework and keep each olhcr company. I don't want lo share the housework and 1 don't need company. I just want lo be a wife to Mark. Mark ttiink.s I am being unreasonable.

I think 1115 is. Who do you think is Hurry, please, liecause Mark wants lo tell his buddy one way or the olhcr. NOT GETTING THRU DliAR NOT: 1 don't sec. anything "unreasonable" about your wauling lo have a place or ytiur own. I think Mark is unreasonable, to uxpeLl you lo shatc an apartment with lie havdly knows and you dun'c know at all.

Slick to your KUIIS. DEAR ABBY: I give your readers the benefit of my very valuable I address Ihis lo any woman who is "in lovu" with a married man: Never expect to see him on Sundays or holidays. Never call him at home. Don't ever expect him to lake you out in public, bill be prepared to entertain him at your place. He may bring a bottle or the slcaks occasionally, but iicliifil dollars and cenls you will spend more on him Ihan he'll spend on you.

Never depend on him in limes of personal crisis. Don'l helicvu him when he tells you his wife is a shrew, cold, homely, loo fat, or lou thin, and she hasn't slept with him for ID years. Don't ever uxpuul his wife to divorce if sliu catches him. She knows ihnt you are not Iris first and won't be his lasl. Also, she is not about to give up her social stains, financial security and rclire- menl income because of you.

However, her discovery will probably terminate his affair you, so be prepared to gel snmo new clothes, circulate, and find another married man whose wife is a shrew, cold, homely, loo fat lor loo and hasn't slept with him for III years.

Ask hostess before changing bed iiy ELIZABETH L. POST Emily Posl Institute, Inc. This question comes np from time to time, but for those of you who may not have seen it before, I will repeal it. Deal Mrs. I'ost: Your column has been a help to me.

and I hope you mil supply the answer to a problem that has been buthuriny a few of us. When you have been 11 house guest-and arc leaving, is it in good taste lo leave your bed neatly made up. or with covers; turned back, assuming your hostess wishes lo strip and replace il with fresh linen? Helen Uenlall Deal Mrs. Bentall: A house guest should first ask the hostess it she may make up Ihc lied with clean sheets. If the hoslcss uKrees, Ihe guest does so, hut in all probability Ihe hoslcss will "Oh no, just leave it." The visitor should llicii remove mid fold Ihc Do the right thing sheets, and put the spread up so thai the room will look neat until the hostess is ready to remake the bed.

If the used sheets are left on the made-up bed, and the hostess has as poor a memory as I do, she may well forget about changing the beds until it is too late after the next visitor has arrived. Dear Mrs. Post: My brother, whose wife died, leaving him with threesons.lias just remarried a divorcee with two children. I have always given each of my nephews a gift on Ihcir hirlhdays and at Christmas. Now, must I also buy gifts for my sister-in-law's children? I can't really afford to, but am afraid there will be hurt feelings if I don't.

Constance L. could very well cause hurt feelings if you gave your three nephews gifts and nothing to the others. The best solution, rather than buying separate presents, is to find one gift which all the children may enjoy. A croquet set, a jigsaw puzzle, a miniature pool set or a Monopoly or Scrabble game all would be fun for the entire family. -I- For suggeslions about to whom, when, how and what to give, you find my booklet "Gifts and Giving" mosl helpful.

WOODAKU Copley News Service Will the increasing popular- ily of condominium homes I'vcntuaUy suffocate the market for rental npurtmentsV Not a chance, say mosl housing experts. Condominiums (town house or apartment lypc residences purchased niid owned by their ocaipanls) will continue to increase in numbers and sales appeal. But llierc will always lie who resist any kind of home purchase, regardless of advantages offered.

They prefer the simple and flexible rent-paying life of a tenanl. "The market for rental aparlmcnl.s will conlinuc to be strung for a lime to come," said L.I?. Nelson, president of the National Apartment Association, in a recent speech. "Well-managed and well-designed projects in Kood locations are do- int; very well. The vacancy problems arc being experienced in planned and managed complexes." Oao major faclor in today's clianijing life-styles is boosting Ihe sales market for con- domiiiiuins and Hie rental market for apartments at the same time.

This is the rapidly multiplying number of singles people who live by themselves hot prospects for both forms of housing. There are now over 1 million udull singles living alone in this country, a major growth segment of our populace in the '70s. The number of singles has increased 50 per cent during Itic past 10 years, a much faster rale than the increase in families. Why the trend toward a greater proportion of singles and childless couples? Reasons are often lied to The Women's IJb, singles togetherness and longevity. These factors are also affecting the planning of new apai Imcnts, e.g., more units are now studio or include only one bedroom.

Apartments being designed specifically for singles are utilizing some creative new innovations. Kor example, a new apartment complex in Angeles has used its roof space for an elaborate swimming pool and other recreational facilities. Makes for a handy diversion area for "up and at "em" tenants. Incidentally, there arc increasing job opportunities in the rental apartment management field. About 345,000 of these jobs now exist.

And by 1980 the need will call for 150,000 more of these professionals, according lo Samuel J. Simmons, president of the National Ccnler for Housing Management. What Next? Personalized bathing suits arc the height of chic. Why not whip up a litllc something out of favorite table cloth or an old pair of drapes? The more you think about it, the better it sounds. Eye Catcher The shirt, that's worn un- bulloned and real low, then tied at the midriff, becomes something special when you add an eye-catching long- chained pendant.
