Dear Ann Landers: you have
printed'several letters over the years
by and about the Other Woman I
have been in both situations and
am an expert on the subject.
Please consider the possibility
that there are at least two sides to
every story First, the Other Wom-
an often tells herself that the wife is
a total witch, that she is crazy,
mean, alcoholic and impossible to
live with. It may be true that she is
all of the above, but perhaps her
husband had something to do with
her witchjness. craziness, meanness
and alcoholism 1 11 bet a front
tooth that the woman wasn t like
that when he married her.
Second, consider the possibility
that the Other Woman might just
like things the way they are. She has
her freedom and her own space.
Deep down she knows it would be
murder to live with her lover da, ,n
and day out. picking up his wet
bath towels and keeping his ward-
robe in shape In her goofier
mommlxshe may fantasize that it
woulp be mtf-m-hB. his wife, but
w hen she takes a good Nong look at
guy, she has to admiNhat she
doesn't want him on a fiHl time
basis.
And please don t waste any rime
feeling sorry for the w ife. Abou\99
times out of 100 she knows wha\s
going on. There are dozens
tell-tale signs. A wife would have/o
be an imbecile not to know Ihr is
easier to look the other way and
keep her mouth shut especially if
she has 20 or more yedrs invested in
the marriage.
As for the man, he almost always
likes it both ways. He wants a
respectable image, a cozy family
setting and the easy, comfortable
presence of the woman he started
with at the beginning. For those
moments when he'd like to feel
younger, sexier and more playful,
there's the Other Woman, pow-
dered. perfumed and waiting.
The only thing I can t figure out
is why both of these women feel
they are worth only half of this

VIEW. ILL.
DEAR BAFF: Beats me. butter-
cup. Any answers out there?
Dear Ann landers: A while back
a reader asked your opinion of a
"an airhead funeral director" who
went on and on to a bereaved
family about how difficult it was to
prepare a loved one's body for
viewing because he was in such
terrible shape You landed hard on
the idiot and he deserved it.
I am involved with several pro-
fessional organizations, including
the National Funeral Directors As-
sociation. and can truthfully sav
that there are only a few I would
not trust to deal with members of
my own family.
Our profession has its bad apples,
like any other, but families deserve
better than what your correspon-
dent got. I was embarrassed when I
read that letter, and I'm sure
thousands of other funeral direc-
tors shared that embarrassment. -
C.A.J., GREENSBORO. N.C.
DEAR GREENSBORO: You have
a very caring brotherhood. The
mail was extremely heavy, and
everyone who wrote echoed your
disgust. Thanks to all of you.
Dear Ann lenders: Have you
ever heard of a major corporation
writing customers who have been
hit by a flood to offer them more
time to pay their bills? Well, the
Chevron Company sent us just such
a letter. We couldn't believe it.
Since you like to salute goodness
wherever you find it, how about a
word for Chevron? - BOWLING

DEAR BOWLING: let s hear it
for Chevron!!!! A big company with
a big heart. '
Dear Ann Landers: I am a
60-year-old woman who is married
to a loving, generous, kind man. I
have a 23-year-old son who is not
my husband's. This boy is the result
of a brief interlude I had with a
“passing fancy."
Does my sop have the right to
know whqJrisreal father is? I don’t
want to hurt my dear husband or
my son. but this has been on my
mind a lot lately
I can't talk to anyone 1 know
about this. I will be watching your
column for your answer, Ann. P.S.
I should mention that the man I
had the affair with (and his wife)
are close friends of ours. -
ASHAMED OF THE PAST IN
OHIO
DEAR OHIO: Obviously your
conscience is bothering you and
you need to get this off your chest.
Talk to your priest, minister or
rabbi. Do not, repeat not, tell your
husband or your son. It would be
terribly upsetting to both and
would serve no useful purpose.
Do you haw questions about sex,
but no one'you can talk to? Ann

er now had a natural trump loser, and
East's four diamonds to the J-9 would
also take a trick South had fallen vic-
tim to euphoria He thought the con-
tract was so easy that be did not need
to plan ahead for unusual contin-
gencies.
Declarer should have realized that
the only chance of losing the contract
was if all four opposing diamonds
were held by East But if that were the
case, could East also hold all four op-
posing spades? That would give West
13 cards in hearts and clubs, and even
a vulnerable opponent would be doing
some bidding with that sort of freak
hand. South should first have played
the ace of spades. He would then be
able to pick up West's trumps And if
all four trumps were held by East,
then the diamond suit would behave in
a satisfactory fashion.
Even after playing the spade ace
first, declarer must be cautious. He
next plays toward the dummy, and
when West splits his J-9 of trumps,
South must return to his hand with the
heart ace to play another round of
trumps Only after trumps have been
drawn can he risk playing back to his
diamond king When that bad split ap-
pears. he simply ducks a diamond to
East and wins the return to take the
rest of the tricks

“Sorry, partner,' South exclaimed,
“but it looks as if we missed a good
grand slam ' Declarer won the open-
ing lead with the queen of clubs and
casually played a spade to dummy's
king. Suddenly what looked like 13
tricks had shrunk so that the small
slam could no longer be made Declar-
