Dear Abbyi Invalids need nights out despite cruel criticism

DEAR ABB 1 ) I'm writing to comment on the letter signed “Sees Roth Sides —concerning a friend w ‘ ,n bad gone to a lovely restaurant and was seated near an invalid who had to he ted. He said it was a revolting sight, and his appetite was spoiled. He suggested that such people stay out of public view. (,u said, “ I hose who cannot eat normally desperately need to get out ind dine in a lovely restaurant, and if one encounters a ‘revolting sight,’ he need only turn his head, and avoid looking in that direction again.” I cannot adequately express my gratitude for your compassionate answer. My husband was a captain of industry in bis prime. He developed a neurological condition and became an invalid, so I know what a treat it is for an invalid to dine out and be in the real world for an hour or two. (He has since died, and I treasure those happy times.) Dining out is a big event for handicapped people who need to get out of their prisons of confinement once in a while. Thank you, Abby, for a beautiful answer. D.W. IN BOCA RATON, FLA.

DKAR I).: Not everyone thought my answer was “beautiful.” Read on: DKAR ABBY: Having read your response to “Sees Both Sides” in the Boston Herald, I can only conclude that your feelings are one sided and selfish. V ou obviously condone the practice of doing whatever you want, no matter what the expense to the comfort of others. Please wake up! How desperately do you think they want to be seen in public? You advise those who must witness this “revolting sight” to turn their heads. We are not all nurses and doctors who are used to nauseating sights, and can just turn our heads, forget what we saw and continue eating. Dining out is expensive these days. I o justify the expense, the food must be excellent as well as the service and atmosphere. Not everyone can afford the luxury of dining out as often as you. Abby. Step down from your financial heights and look from a commoner’s table. DISGUSTED IN BOSTON

women educators are attired in their gay '9os costumes are ready to attend the state convention of Delta Kappa Gamma on Oct. 12.

P.S.: It would be commendable of you to print this, but seldom do I read where you publicly admit you’re wrong. And like it or not, you are wrong. * * * DEAR ABBY: Can you come up with a word I can use to introduce a gentleman named Sam? He and I have had a very close relationship for seven years. We do not live together, but our relationship is much closer than the word “friend” implies. Because we are in the 45-55 age bracket, “boyfriend/girlfriend’’ sounds too much like a pair of teen-agers. I have also ruled out “mate” or “partner,” as they give the impression that we are married. I don’t care for “companion”; it sounds as though one of us is a paid nursemaid. And “lover” is too sexual for older relatives. Any suggestions? SAM’S BLANKETY BLANK DEAR BLANKETY: After seven years of togetherness, everyone who should know how close you and Sam are, already knows. And to those who don’t

know, he should be introduced as “Sam.” * * * DEAR ABBY: A gay man wrote to you, wanting to know why so many women were aggressively pursuing him even though they knew he was gay. I think 1 know why. Because a gay man isn’t always spending his time trying to figure out a way to get a woman into bed, he is able to relate to a woman as a person—not an object. Women find this very refreshing. Straight men ought to try this novel approach. STRAIGHT WOMAN * * * (Do you hate to write letters because you don’t know what to say?
