eeived letter from his mother.
telling OF her intention 10 come
and visit Us sometime within the
next few weeks.
She is very fine woman and
We should be very happy over her
letter. but we are not. You see,
Miss Grey. she is dreadfully strict.
We know definitely that she would
not approve Of our smoking or
bridge playing. although we feel
: that they are innocent enough d.
versions.
My husband has requested that
We neither smoke nor play cards
until after she has left, but feel
that Is the wrong attitude 10 take.
i seems rather sneaky TO me. We
do smoke and we do play cards
and we don't in the least feel guilty
about either one of them, and 50
why should we try to hide them
We are both OF age and have been
for some time.
Don't you think my attitude is
the right one. Miss Grey? II seems
an awful shame that instead of
looking forward TO our mothers
visit with pleasure and anticipa-
ton as we should, we are forced
10 dread her arrival all because it
means that we shall be forced 10
give up two tiny pleasures that we
both enjoy.

IieVe your attitude 10 be the
right one, and no doubt your
