Wayne Forbes, a sculpture in Paragraph photo AL PODGOHSM Husband doesn't second family By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-year-old professional woman who recently married a 39-year-old professional man with four children from a previous marriage. Although Rob claims not to care for his ex-wife, they still have frequent contact, allegedly over the children.

When she asks him for money "for the children," he gives it to her. When I ask for something, he'll "think about it." I've worked hard for four years and want to stay home and raise a family. Rob says no to both. He says he has enough children, but I believe (hat if he really loved me, he would want US to have a child. My question: Is there a way to convince Rob that since he loves his four children so much, he would also love and enjoy any children we might have together? I also believe that a child would "bond" us and bring us closer together.

HATES WORK DEAR HATES WORK: If I knew of a way to "convince" Rob to let you qu.i work and have a child, I wouldn't recommend it, because Rob has already said he has enough children. Furthermore, if you were able to convince him to have a child in an effort to "bond" you together, it would be a mistake. Be honest. You are hoping to compete with Rob's ex-wife by giving him a second family, which he doesn't really want. You can't win.

The "ex" is holding four aces. DEAR ABBY: Please, please put something in your column about the futility of sneaking around to date married men!

Today, he added, the mortuary industry has a virtual stranglehold on the way the living deal with death, something Jongordon has experienced firsthand. "Years ago, I had a young wife who died," he recalled.

"I went through that game and it hurt, and bothered me for years and years. It was all automatic, and I paid for it and paid for it and didn't have a choice." Jongordon became involved in the Neptune Society because it offered that simple, inexpensive choice. Most of the thousands of families who use its services each year in California, New York and Florida are considering cremation, he says. He says several morturarles have contacted him. "They were very much concerned we were wholesaling caskets, which want a married man, and nothing I say can stop her.

He's twice her age and gives no hope of leaving his wife. He works in our small town and goes home to his wife on his days off, but my daughter sees him when she can. I am afraid the whole town (including his wife) will find out about it, and I don't want to see my daughter dragged through a divorce court, but she won't listen to me. Maybe she will listen to you. NO, TOWN, PLEASE DEAR NO TOWN: Love is not only blind, it's deaf as well.

The best case against going with a married man is not the futility of it it's finally GETTING him. Then what do you have? A husband who cheats on his wife. Some bargain!

"In the past, when someone died, they wound up in a mortuary, and their (relatives) wound up in the mortuary's selection room, where there were 40 to 50 caskets costing $600 to several thousand dollars," he said Thursday, the day after his store opened its doors for the first time. "They were trapped into that. There was no place else to go." But that, was before the Early American Coffin Guild and the modest retail showroom Jongordon believes is the first outlet of its kind in modern America, a store that harks back to simpler times.
