Landers
Should discuss fetish
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I was interested in the letter from the woman
who signed herself, "Married to a Nut in Cleveland/' He bought
porn magazines and sent away for rubber underwear. You said this
was no reason to divorce an otherwise stable and responsible man —
that he had a rubber fetish and she should consider herself lucky he
didn't pester her to join him.
Your answer didn't go far enough. That wife needs to get a threeway conversation going. A therapist or counselor should talk to
them both and explain that it is not such a terrible thing. The wife
ought to become enlightened and accept this benign oddity.
I am a rubber fetishist, married 35 years. My fetish has come up
only twice during our marriage and both times it created a crisis.
We would have been much better off had we discussed it openly
many years ago.
I didn't ask for this fetish. I've had it since I was four years old,
when I became enamored of my mother's rubber apron. Most people who have fetishes think they are freaks or a little crazy. A frank
discussion witiuM* understanding wife would enhance the marriage,
not threaten it. — Sane In Virginia
Dear Va.: I appreciate your frankness, and so will others. Thanks
for sharing your feelings.
Dear Ann Landers: You've printed several letters from the wife
to The Other Woman. Now, will you please reverse the procedure?
Dear Wife: So you have found receipts for gifts your husband has
bought me? A bottle of perfume. A negligee. A silk scarf. Big deal.
You htfVe his name. You bore his children. You live in his home
and share his bed almost every night. He takes you to lovely parties
and on exciting trips. You will live out your years together and have
the dignity of being his widow. I will have a pain in my heart.
Forever. Who has the better deal? — A Fool In Love
Dear Fool in Love: Your message is a powerful one. So wise up,
already.
Dear Ann Landers: The letter from the mother in California who
was upset because her 15-year-old daughter insisted on baking
herself in the sun hit me between the eyes. It sounded like an echo of
my own mother's voice.
When I was 15,1 wouldn't listen to anybody. I, too, was a sun worshipper — never bothered with creams or lotions.
Today I am not quite 30 and my neck looks like chicken skin. My
face has deep creases and lines. Soon I will resemble a prune. I've
tried all the high-priced creams, moisturizers and lotions, but
nothing helps.
You don't have to stay out of the sun altogether — but remember,
a healthy glow is a lot prettier than a deep tan. If you aren't worried
about skin cancer, think about what you will look like in about 15
years. * Wish I Had Listened
Dear Wish: I'm glad I did. Nothing is so destructive to a woman's
skin as Old Sol. He is merciless and unrelenting. And once be does
his damage, there is no way to undo it.

TO USE T H E
AAA6RICAN,

BUZ SAWYER
When you have a two-way
finesse to take, it helps if you
can get a count of the op
ponents' hands. But you must
do all you can to assure that
the count is as complete as
possible.
The auction was a matter
of simple arithmetic. After
South had shown a balanced
hand oi 13-15 points with his
one no trump rebid, North
added in his 20 points, came
up with enough for slam and
wasted no time in bidding it.
Because of the unfortunate
duplication in hearts, there
are only ten fast tricks. The
only place for declarer to
develop two more tricks is in
the club suit, and to do that
declarer will have to find the
queen of clubs.
If declarer wins the diamond and cashes out all his
winners, he will learn that
West started with five
diamonds and two hearts and
that East began with five
hearts and two diamonds.
However, he will have no
way of knowing the distribution of the black suits. Is the
club finesse, therefore, a
pure guess?
Not to an expert declarer.
He will correct the count at
trick two by ducking a spade!
Now when he cashes his winners, he will also discover
that East started with two
spades, which places West
with five spades. That means
that twelve of West's cards
are accounted for, so he must
hold exactly one club.
Now the play in the club
suit is an open book. Declarer
cashes the king of clubs and
takes eare to jettison the
jack of clubs under it. When
the queen does not drop,
declarer runs the nine of
clubs, and he can stay in dummy to repeat the finesse!

mulled
I know that I have a cyst of the
ovary. Sometimes it becomes painful and I worry aboout it. The moment the pain disappears, I again
decide to do nothing about it.
I know that I am reallly afraid
that if the cyst is removed it will
keep me from becoming pregnant
and having a third child. Is it possible to become pregnant if just one
ovary remains? — Mrs. H.W., Ariz.
Dear Mrs. W.:lt is generally
believed that one perfectly healthy,
normal ovary is sufficient for
pregnancy Of course, the Faliop:an
tubes that carry the egg from the
ovary to the uterus * or womb) must
be normal. I do hope that this
relieves in a measure one part of
your anxiety
There is. however, another aspect
of your prob:ers which must be
separated from your desire to have
a third cnild. The fact that you have
ar. ovarian cyst must be cons.dered
»r. lerrr.s of your general health ana
your capacity to lake care of the two
chiidrtL you now have.
There are many types of ovarian
cysts. Eacn rr.ontr a small cyst
