loves her husband so much that she
includes anything that is his in her
! love. l have a special room in
! their home and l am made to feel
that at any time 1 am welcome and
| wanted.
One of my daughters is not hap
! PLY married, and when 1 am with
her l can see that l am only max
| ing it harder for her Her hus-
band does not like me and he is
very irritable all the time that I
am making my visit
1t is my other daughter who is
my problem. l am sure that she
loves me and when 1 am away from
her she thinks she must have me
with her. But when 1 get there
she is very unkind in the way she
treats me. She corrects my gram
mar and my table manners and she
doesn't like my clothes, and by the
tine I have been with her a month
feel absolutely wretched.
My son and his wife are going
away for three months. He is
sent away on business and he is
taking his little family with him
can stay at their home and be
perfectly contented, but my daugh-
ter with whom / cannot get along
is very anxious to have me with
her. She has had one of her rooms
papered just so that it will be pref
tier for me.
do not want to hurt that daugh-
ter's feelings, but 1 would be much
happier in my home, or rather in
the home Of my son and his wire,
which seems to me the place l
want to call home, too. What would
you advise me to do?
CLOUD.
Stay in the home of your son and
his wife, where you will be happy.
/. is foolish to be so afraid that you
will hurt your daughters feelings,
when she shows such little consid-
Grafton for your feelings. 1t would
do her good to know the truth and
might make a sweeter woman of
her. Probably when she gets older
she will fall into many Of the little
Iabits for which she criticiZes you
now.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl of 16. My parents do not OBJ
ject to my going with boys. Do
you think 1 am too young to go
with boys? SWEET SIXTEEN.
You are old enough to go to
neighborhood and school partiej oc-
casionally, but you are too young to
go to shows, dances, etc, which
would keep you out late at night
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am go
ing to invite a girl friend to stay
all night with me. Will she bring
her own nightgown and brush and
comb, or should provide her with
the things? hAIE-
Your guest will probably bring
her own nightgown and brush and
comb. You should, however, have
a brush and comb on her dresser.
II she is coming for one night only
II would be wise to ask her il you
can proyide her with anything.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: II boy
should give you a gift should you
omen it in his presence? If it is a
box of chocolates, should you open
and eat them in his presence or
wait until you are alone?
MY boy friend is going to leave
town for some time. Should I ask
him to write to me or not? We
are not in love. but are the best of
friends. YOURS ADVISABLE.
You should open the gift in the
presence of the boy. When he
brings you chocolates. give him the
chance to help you eat them.
You might say that you hope
you will hear from him when he
is away 1t is the boys place to
write first.
"R F. NJ: Serve ice cream.
cake and coffee. Announcements
should be sent after the wedding.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
