I would like to have companionship, but when a women hears that I have fourchildren, she saySj "Fou children you must pay a lot of child support! I say, "No, I have custody." Then she says, "That's too much for me to handle. Goodbye." Abby, I love my children, and if it means giving them up in order to date, I'll stay single. I wonder how-many other men out there are in the same boat? FULL-TIME FATHER IN COLUMBUS, OHIO i DEAR FATHER: Have you never heard of Parents Without Partners? There must be some single mothers In your area who wouldn't mind Joining forces with you.

To locate the PWP group nearest you, send a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Parents Without Partners, 8807 Collesville Road, Silver Spring, Md. 20910. Then get a sitter and go to those PWP meetings. You sound like a high-quality man. Don't be discouraged.

We were just Invited to the wedding of one of his cousins. We didn't actually receive' an invitation on the invitation his parents received was a handwritten message: "Please ask Gary and his wife to come along, too." I think it's a tacky way to invite people to a wedding. If they can't take the time and effort to find out what our address is (all they would have to do is ask Gary's mother), I really don't feel like going. My husband wants to go. Maybe if you print this, they'll see it and realize how out of line they are.

And just in case they don't see it, please tell me how to handle such invitations. SECONDHAND INVITATION DEAR SECONDHAND is indeed a tacky invitation. Ei- ther these people are trying to save the price of an invitation to andor the postage, or they just don't know better. Write them a note of thanks for the invitation, and add, "By the way, we have a home of our own now" and include your address and both your names. DEAR ABBY: There is a fire hazard your readers should be aware of.

If you have a paperweight or figurine positioned where direct sunlight can strike it move it.
