Whoops! Not any more. They used to be, when voyages lasted months and sometimes years, but times have changed, and so have the rules. Marriages performed by captains at sea will legalize a union while the couple is at sea, but when they reach land, they must be remarried. VOICE OF EXPERIENCE DEAR VOICE: Thanks. I am presently over my head in letters from readers who advise me of the change.

Mea gulpa. DEAR ABBY: Here is my solu tion for that artist who found it hard to paint outdoors (landscapes, etc.) because he always drew a crowd who watched him and some times made remarks which dis tracted him. I also enioy painting landscapes. I don't object to a few spectators, but when they get too chatty, I simply remove my hat and pass it. I rarely get more than a iew coins, but it sure thins out tne crowd in a hurry.

ANOTHER ARTIST Problems? You'll feel better if you get it off your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY, Box No. 69700. L. Calif.

Y.

News Inc.) DEAR ABBY: What do you tell your children when they ask how long you have been married, and you are ashamed to tell them? When I was married I was three months pregnant. We had gone to gether for two years. We loved each other, and it just happened, We were married as soon as possible, and now have five lovely children. The oldest is 14. My hus band and I never celebrate our wedding anniversary.

We just don't talk about it. Lately, our 14-year-old asked us when our anniversary is. I said, "in December," and changed the subject. I don't know how long I can go on doing this. My husband says we should add nn a vpar wnn in this fx ritfhr? Other people know how long we've been married, and I don't want my children catching me in a lie when I preach to them the importance of being honest.

But Abby, I want my children to respect me, and if they knew the truth it may not set a good example for them. Please tell me what to do. Thank you. A MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: I can best answer you by submitting this exchange: DEAR ABBY: I was born six months and two days after my parents were married. (I figured it out when I was 16).

When I mentioned it to my mother she became flustered and close to tears so I never mentioned it again. Mom and Dad are tops as parents, and I don't care if they did have to get married, I love them just the same. Abby, you could help a lot of peo pie who had to get married if you would tell them how to handle it when their children bring it up. Should they lie about the date of their marriage? Or should they say the first baby was "prema ture What's the best answer? THEIR DAUGHTER DEAR DAUGHTER: The truth while sometimes embarrassing, is always the best answer. But no couple HAS to get married.

The boy can run off and leave the girl to face the problem alone. Or he can deny paternity. Some girls choose abortion Others prefer to have the child and put it up for adoption. Some have the child and keep it. The couple who marries when baby is on the way, and make a success of that marriage (and Getting Married?
