She makes the travel arrangements. I noticed a couple of years ago that she booked one room with two beds. When I asked her about it she said it was for the purpose of cutting costs. She says this is a way that he is able to give her a pay raise each year. She claims she would never cheat on me, nor would he cheat on his wife of 33 years. He is a frugal man, so I accepted that explana- tion. However, I recently came across an email that showed a room reserva- tion for a single king-size bed. When I asked her about it, she said it was the only room type avail- able, and that there is nothing going on between the two of them. She said there is plenty of room for them to stay on their own side of the bed. Appar- ently it wasn't the first time this happened. Should I accept her expla- nation? Your thoughts? —J DEAR J » I hate to intro- duce another note of doubt into your relation- ship, but I cannot imag- ine this situation being benign. I suggest you find out what your wife re- ally means by "operating technology." She should be willing to give up her raise in order to book two rooms. DEAR AMY » My nephew is getting married this sum- mer in California. Most family members on both sides (including me) live on the East Coast. We received a notice from him recently saying, "Your presence is our gift. You can contribute to our dream honeymoon!" Their plan is to go to Maui. There was a link to a website headlined "Our Registry" inviting everyone to contribute to thei r cho ice of airl ine miles, car rental, accom- modations, dinner, spa treatments and a sunset dinner cruise. I think this is a bit forward. What do you think? — Offended in the East DEAR OFFENDED » The most "forward" aspect of this notice from your nephew is the confusing message the couple is sending to their wedding guests. What they are actu- ally saying is not, "Your presence is our gift," but: "We don't want a gravy boat. We want to ride on a boat." They do want gifts, and they have cre- ated a registry to guide guests toward the gifts they want. Honeymoon registries have become increasingly common, in part because couples often have their households assembled by the time they get married. It might help to think about it this way: Would I rather give the couple something I want them to have or something they want to receive? You are not obligated to give a couple a gift from their registry (I al- most never do). However, the two times I have con- tributed to honeymoon registries, I received won- de rf u l "t ha nk y o u" po st - cards from the couple.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Impatience and restlessness will result in mishaps. Stay focused on what you are doing, or you may endanger your safety. Act responsibly. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Mastering self-doubt will be an important step in your progress. If you believe in your ability, so will others. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Overspending will lead to financial instability. Don't take unnecessary risks buying things on a whim or taking out a high- interest loan. An unexpected expense will put a hole in your savings. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Cooperation and tact will go a long way in both your personal and professional partnerships. Being stubborn will not win you friends, but it will earn you a reputation for troublemaking.

You have many talents, but taking on too many tasks at once will prevent you from achieving an important goal. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Don't be fooled by false flattery. Someone will deliberately try to confuse you. Insist on doing your own research before you make a decision that can lead to an unfortunate alliance.
