Dear Ann Landers,
ere I am, ready to lie down on your couch, and nobody is more surprised than I. I went with this heel for three years, and when I say "went with," I mean I devoted myself to him, body and soul. I invested part of my inheritance in his business, which failed. When he was down on his luck, I let him move into my apartment and I moved in with my aunt. Last January he went into a nutty business that clicked. Instead of giving back my $5,000, he bought himself a new car. Yesterday he gave me the big news. He has decided he's not good enough for me and I should find someone who is. His last words were, "Baby, you deserve the best and I hope you get it." I hear he is seeing a wealthy widow who is old enough to be his mother. Should I invest in a private eye and throw the book at him?-Crushed

Dear Crushed,
What book? Dun & Bradstreet? It's the only book that would interest the jerk. If he marries that rich widow for her money, he'll earn every dime of it. It's the hardest work there is. 124
