I asked him when, and he said, "Not until Nov. 19, because our 25th wedding anniversary is 18th, and I don't want to slap her in the face then." What is wrong? I bend over backwards to please this man, but I must be doing something wrong because after loving him for two years, I still don't have him. A CONN.

MESS DEAR MESS: If you ever land Bob you will have very considerate husband. Be patient until after his 2540 wedding anniversary, and if he doesn't make the break then, come Thanksgiving, cook his goose. DEAR ABBY: First of all, let me tell you that 1 have five children. My husband and I are getting divorce and he can't help me, so I am going to have to raise these children alone. After my husband left, I found out I was pregnant.

I am too far along now for an abortion. I don't want this baby. Can I give it up for adoption? I have given this a lot of thought and have decided if I were to keep it, it wouldn't be fair to the five children I have, nor to the one that's on the way. I believe every child should have two parents who really want it. Please don't give me a lecture.

My mind ts made up. Just tell me where to go to give it away. NEEDS HELP NOW DEAR NEEDS: No lectures from me. I agree, every child should have two parents who really want It. one is Get in touch with your County Web fare Information Center.

It takes about an hour and fifteen minutes from his house to mine using public transportation, but it's only 15 minutes by car. I find myself in the position of picking him up and taking him home whenever we go out. Compounding the problem is the fact that I must use the toll bridge to- gat to and from his house, which adds up considerably for me. I find this a very difficult adjustment as I have been accustomed to having my dates pick me up and take me home. Should I continue this pickup and delivery service? He's not a native New Yorker, and is afraid to take the subwa; late at night.

DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE DEAR DOOR: Thirty minutes in an automobile beats two and a half in a subway, no matter who does the driving. If he hasn't offered to pay for the toll, suggest it. If he can't or won't pay for it, you will have to decide whether dating him Is worth the portal to portal service you're providing.

We pointed out a way to make the hand but there is a better line of play and Ray Alexander of Winfield.

Ala. has been the first to suggest it South rutts the third club and draws trumps with three leads. Then he stops to get as good a count as be can West has shown up with seven clubs and three spades and three unknown red cards. It they are all hearts no line of play will bring the contract horne If all three are diamonds and East's singleton is either the king or the queen then South can play the ace; drop that singleton and make his contract. If one is a heart and than original two are diamonds any line of play will work.

Now suppose that two are hearts and one a diamond, as is most likely. If the singleton diamond is the 10 South can make the hand by leading the jack from dummy. He can also make it if the singleton is the king or queen and East makes the mistake of covering the jack. Mr. Alexander's play, which is the best.

is to simply lead a low diamond after drawing trumps and to win the return in his own hand and run off the rest of the trumps. If East started with exactly three diamonds he also held six hearts, is squeezed by the last trump lead and is forced to let South make the last trick with a low diamond or North to make it with the four or five of hearts.
