Since that time. both my hus-
band and I have done everything
we could to make a real home for
her. To make up for the years
when her mother was in poor
health. have given little parties
for her. and encouraged her TO
bring her friends home.
This is my problem. She brings

me to the girls and boys l have
never met before unless I make

lovely girls. were here, but knew
only four of them. When ] walked
into the room to greet them, l
was ignored by all but the four.
When l asked my niece about
this after her guests had gone she
said that none of the girls ever
introduced their mothers. She said
the president Of the club, who is
a teacher and a woman of learning
and culture. brought her mother to
club meeting and never men
toned the fact all evening that
the stranger was her mother. Why
Is this 70?
Is it the approved method of
modern girls TO ignore mother, who
does all the worb in preparing for
and cleaning up after their daugh-
ters company l for one don't like
it. When my son WAS growing up,
through his high school and college
days, he never once brought new
friend home that he didn't look
for Nom" first thing. He seemed
to be so proud to have the gang
