Dear Ann Landers, ou will swear this letter is a phony because my story reads like a four-bit novel, but I am begging you to take it seriously because I am on the level. I go to a well-known girls' school in the East. I became engaged to a 195 Princeton senior three months ago. When I went to his home to meet his parents, I flipped over his father. At first I told myself it was too crazy for words and I tried to laugh it off, but I can't laugh anymore, and neither can he. We have met in Manhattan several times, and he is as zonked over me as I am over him. He wants to divorce his wife and marry me next year. My fiance knows nothing of this. I am tearing myself to pieces with indecision. Could it work? He is twenty-seven years older than I am. His wife is three years older than he is and a semi-invalid. After being with Senior, Junior strikes me as Amateur Knight. Could this marriage possibly work? Help me, please, I am not sleeping very well these nights.-Miss Icarus (GetIt?)

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , Wis.,' regarding his hearing loss. I have been going through this for many years. The people you think would be the most sympathetic (my family) seem to be the least tolerant. People outside the family tend to be understanding, and oddly enough, my family is very nice to strangers who have this same problem, but not to me. My wife screams that I am driving her crazy, and my oldest daughter just makes fun of me. The other daughter says 'never mind' when I ask her to repeat something. The oldest son gives me a dirty look, goes in his room and shuts the door. The other son is like his mother -- he just yells. When I sit at the dinner table, I might as well be eating next door. They ignore me, so I usually eat with the grandchildren. They don't seem to mind that I can't hear too well. When I ask them to repeat something, they do so graciously, and nobody gives me a dirty look. Please print this letter. It will make me feel better.
