]Sweet 16 and No Party—She Thought
By Barbara Schneider
THE WEEK OF JULY 22 was a
rather gloomy time for petite Susie
Robinson . . . until she came down
with a strep throat on Wednesday,
and then things began to look 1WJ
percent better.
Susie was to have had that sweetest
birthday of all. Number 16, on
Thursday . . . and it appeared that
her family couldn't have been less
concerned with The Great Event.
Her mother was up to her ears re-
decorating the house; her brother
and sister were busy with their own
friends; and her dachshund Hans,
who considers the house and all its
occupants his particular domain,
was more concerned with dinner and
naps on the newly-upholstered
couch.
WHAT A DRAG!
When Susie's friend, Laurie l^bel.
invited her to dinner at her home
Thursday, Susie jumped a‘ thp invi-
tation. and her mother. Mrs. Charles
Robinson, reluctantly i ? i agreed.
(We've got you teary-eyed. have
we? Well, read on and see what fur-
ther mischief the hard-hearted fam-
ily plotted )
LAURIE’S INVITATION was for
real, but was just to allow the Robin-
sons time enough to set. the scene for
a swinging psychedelic surprise par-
ty with swimming in the pool in thp
adjoining yard of an aunt, Mrs. Mal-
colm Robinson: dancing to the Jay
Shanker combo; body painting; and
such delicacies as "hippie hotdogs."
Psychedelic posters were to deco-
rate Susie's backyard and lanterns
would add to the effect.
Helping Mrs. Robinson and I-turie
arrange her daughter's party were
Jan and Joan Bravo. Some 50 teen-
agers were invited.
ON WEDNESDAY, Susie got siek.
Seeing no way to have her well by
Thursday, Susie's mother was fared
with postponing the party. The
guests and the combo were railed
and new arrangements were ntadp.
Her next decision was to tell Susie
w hat had hpen going on.
“ YOU’VE NEVER SEEN anyone
so happy! " her mother laughed.
Thp big scene was made Sunday —
same time, same place, same peo-
ple. same birthday.
Man. how groovy!

nae Club, busy all year
around.
Primary purpose of the
alumnae group is social
though it also assists ac-
tive chapters at the I’ni-
versity of Oklahoma, Okla-
homa Stale University and
Oklahoma City University.
"The majority of our
alumnae members are
from those three active
chapters at state universi-
I ties." Mrs. Martin said.
I "but we do have some
' members from as far as
California and the Dako-
tas."
THE ALUMNAE groups
have been busy preparing
for summer rush, which is
hdd by collegiate chapters
the last two weeks in July.
Mrs. Martin is an alum-
na of the University of
Mt‘oi the
Oklahoma, where she was
a marketing and finance
major. "1 worked for a
time in a bank but now

DEAR ABBY: My hus-
band and I are planning to
go to his hometown next
month to attend his sis-
ter's wpdding. We would
siay with his parents,
which is the problem.
His mother Is a thrice-
committed paranoid schiz-
ophrenic, and sudden vi-
olent outbursts are symp-
tomatic of her condition.
My husband and I can
look after ourselves, but
should we take our 6-
month-old baby?
I have seen my mother-
in-law turn on innocent
people with everything
from golf clubs to knives.
She has been normal for
— over a year (with constant
I medication) but that
doesn't mean she might
not have another outburst.
\Yp could leave our baby
at home with my mother,
but I hate to deprive my
mother-in-law of her
grandmotherly pleasures.
But if she asked to bathe
the baby, for example, I
would climb the walls.
Maybe I am a natural
worry wart, but I can't
help it. I've lost sleep wor-
rying about this problem
ever tdnee the wedding
date was set two weeks
ago.
Please tell me what to
do. My husband agrees to
go along with vour advice.
WORRY WART
DEAR W. W.: Under the
circumstances, as long as
you can't take your baby
with a free and untroubled
mind, you’d be better off
to leave it at home with
your mother.
