can only tell you, Philippa, what
have told countless other young
wives in this column. Your mother
doesn't belong in your home any
more than does any other inconsid-
crate, selfish old woman. Her pres
ence there is a threat to your hus-
bands affection for you, and your
own married happiness. When your
mother was prosperous and had an
establishment and servants, it new
er occurred to her to save, to plan
for this hour. She enjoyed luxury
and extravagance; she expected al
ways to be protected and important.
Well, life isn't like that. All of
us outgrow our usefulness and i'm
portance, and the only thing to do
is to realize it, to get out of the
children's lives. To love, to help,
to advise when they need you, that
is the great privilege of age. But
to fasten parasite-like upon them,
blandly upsetting their domestic ar
engagements, blandly delaying and
complicating household affairs, COM

children, requesting endless favors,
commanding bored interest-this is
to do for your own children a dis
service that even their deadliest enc
mics would not attempt.
This good lady should move her
self and her affairs to the cottage
