Sept. 10, 1977 Dear Abby DEAR ABBY: Our only son, Sammy, is a wonderful young professional man' who practices in another state. He recently became engaged to a girl who lives where he practices. We have met her and think she's a nice young woman, but we're wondering what kind of family' she comes from.

Sammy telephoned last week, saying he wanted to bring the girl and her mother here to meet us. I discouraged him, saying it was too soon that I preferred to wait until after summer to have them here. Today he called again to say they are coming! I was shocked to think that this girl and her mother would set aside formalities and come without my personal invitation. (I'm sure they pressured Sammy into it.) Of course. I'll be hospitable, but what do you think of people who would come without a personal invitation from the DEAR WONDERING: After a couple has announced their engagement, it is never "too soon" for the families to meet.

(In fact, it's customary to meet BEFORE. )' I suspect you aren't too keen on Sammy's girl; your preference to "wait" reveals your reluctance to accept her. If you don't want to lose your "wonderful son," you'd better mellow fast, Mother, and forgo the "formalities."
