Three years after that, at the age of 40, my husband died. Within the year, a few nice men began to ask me out, I was then faced with the Inevitable question, “Do you tell a man you've had a breast removed before he gets interested in the physical side of the relationship, or after?” These past two years I have dated several attractive gentlemen. In some instances, there was no point in mentioning the mastectomy because I knew the relationship would never become intimate. However, in three instances I did feel it was necessary to speak up. .Do you know, Ann, it didn't make one particle of difference to any of them? I msrrled a marvelous man three months ago, and can truthfully say I am enjoying a better sexual relationship now than Thad with my first husband, when I was “double-breasted,” Please pass the word, It may help thousands of women who are, as I was —Needlessly. Concerned Dear N.C. What a beautiful letter! Read on for another, Caray Dear Ann Landers: How right you werel A real man doesn't count breasts. That's what you told me when I wrote 16 months ago and described myself as “mutilated.” I asked the question, “Who would want me now?" : ‘Well, two men wanted me and I chose the one with the world’s best sense of humor. For Christmas he gave me a copy of that hilarious book by Tom Braden, "Eight Is Enough,” (‘The book is a side-splitting autobiography of the father of eight children.) My adorable guy stuck a piece of adhesive tape over the word “Eight” on the book jacket and in bold black letters he substituted the word “One.” That didit for me, Ann. I decided that very night that he was the man I wanted to marry, Sign this letter —Orange Blossoms In April Dear April: Life without laughter is like a stew without salt. I don't know anything about the other fellow, but it sounds as if you picked the right one. (P.S. I agree that "Eight Is Enough" is hilarious, but it's also poignant and ing—thi of an father whose children put him through the wringer with their “new morality.” ‘The price is $7.95 and it’s worth it.) 8 Dear Ann Landers: I'm a retired businessman, 60 years of age, with a grown family. Two years ago my wife passed away and I would like to remarry, I've kept company with several women, but the one I like best has some funny ideas, I'm wondering if time will change them. Vera (as! will call her) was widowed 10 years ago, She is very attractive, a fine person who loves to cook and keep house, The problem is, when I try to hold her hand in the movies she says, “We're too old for that nonsense!” (Vera is 58.) T'm no sex maniae, but I can't envision a marriage without a co-operative bed partner. What do you think? —Youngat Heart Dear Heart: I think you'd better expand your social circle. A 58-year-old woman who believes hand-holding is “nonsense” would probably think you were a sex maniac if you tried tokiss her. Keep looking, Dad, Treatment Products Deep Mist Moisture Lotion 7% ox.
