Dear Ann Landers, ur twenty-two-year-old daughter is engaged to a young man we know only slightly. This girl has finished college and has always shown good judgment-except in the selection of her fiance. The young man has an apart-ment in a bad section of town. He frequently phones our daughter and asks her to come to his place. She dashes out the door whenever he calls and never returns before midnight- always alone. My husband and I believe the young man should not ask her to come across town at night into a bad neighborhood and then allow her to go home alone. Are we old-fashioned? Should we speak up or remain silent?-B. Cal.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.
