R a Quot. I have been Reading your column for Ages. I do not believe you have Ever printed a letter about something that is becoming an accepted practice although it is indecent immoral and a source of anxiety to every Bride. 1 am referring to the Bachelor party that traditionally takes place the night before the wedding. Have heard from my brother and my male cousins that there Are strippers at these parties who Wear a strings and pasties which is As close to being naked As a woman can get. Some of the bimbos Wear Black Garter belts and mesh stockings with 4-Inch heels. Ann Landers there s music of course and these women put on a a show Quot mostly bumps and grinds because they can neither sing nor dance. They prance around sit on laps take off the Guys tics and unbutton their shirts. Most of the Guys Are dead drunk by that time and no one will say for certain How much else gets taken off. These affairs Are almost always held in hotels so it is not difficult to figure out where most of the Guys end  am not a prude but i wonder How Many men would like their future brides to be entertained this Way by male strippers. A a \. Looking ahead in Palm Beach dear looking. 1 do not doubt for a minute that some Bachelor Prev nuptial parties end up to be Drunken orgies but Many Are quite decent especially if the fathers of the Bride and Groom arc present. Male strippers by the Way arc not generally sexually aggressive. They put themselves out there and its the women who do the groping unbuttoning Etc. A a dear Ann Landers. A a a a. A. A you recently printed a letter from a couple who lost a Friendship after baby sitting another couples two children. It seems the. Kids lied about something and their fathers response was a fall kids lie a its True that almost everyone lies at some time or another to avoid unpleasant consequences but it rarely works children must be taught at the earliest age not to lie or it will become a lifetime habit. I am not suggesting that they be totally excused for wrongdoing because they told the truth but there is a Good Way to handle this. Parents should make it Clear that if a child lies the punishment will be twice As severe and that Promise should be kept. Another important Point is this under no circumstances should parents lie to or in front of their children. Lying sets the stage for continued duplicity. Children should be taught that one lie invariably leads to three or four More lies in an Effort to cover up the first one and the Liaf is almost always found out.
