Dear Ann Landers, "You are cordially invited for cocktails and dinner at Bill and Mary X's home on January 25. But you can't come with your husband. He must escort someone else's wife. You will not know the identity of your escort until he arrives. Your husband will soon receive a phone call assigning a date. But it must be kept a deep, dark secret. Of course you will be taken home by the man who brought you. R.S.V.P." I don't want to be a wet firecracker, but the whole idea offends me. My husband says it's novel and should be fun. What would we tell our teen-age children about such a party? Help, please.-Fraidy Cat 13
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , he picked up the nick-name “Runt.” Now, at age fourteen, this is what everyone calls him. At this very moment, he has five friends in the game room. I do not know the given name of any of these boys. All I hear is “Bud,” “Crunch,” “Red,” “Bowser,” and “Skinny.” A name can be very important in creating an image. How can a young man have a promising legal career when he is bur-dened with an undignified handle like “Runt”? Do you agree? -Connecticut Yankee
