If you think, it's tough ' trying;
to get a son or daughter ready
for • college, cooled out, and set-
tied
et tied in, . you should try it with
a wife; who hasn't: ,been' there
for 20 years.
It's an exhausting ' ex
perience, emotionally and fi-
nancially.
i nancially. All the ' kids want is,
that you should take all their
stuff down, , help ` unload it,
• press a large sum m upon them,
and disaPPear back, to, Hicks-
ville, so you'll stop :embarrass-
ing them in front of their new
class -mates '

tremendous decision itself,
Compal; able to Moses making
up his mind to lead the "Child-
ren" back to .the Promised
Land: There are surges of con
fidence, but they . are out-
weighed by sudden despairs.
"My brain is. rusty.I'll never.
make it. They've probably lost
my files. There'll be a rule
refusing people over 30. The
course ismost likely a lot.
harder. now. I'll feel like a fool
with all .those 'kinds in 'mini-
skirts
miniskirts and eye -shadow." And so . .
on:
You patiently point out that:
rust >. can "be removed;. any
half-wit 'can pass fourth year;
universities never lose any- .'•
"thing, except . the letter you
wrote, them last, week; ,she's: •
more mature ,and ' the . course
will be a .snap; she's better-
looking now than she was in
third year, away back. .
Thus bolstered, she sends off
the application: Nothing hap-
pens. • Fear and frustration
mount.. So father has to write a;
letter in ' his inimitable style,
with ..force and firmness.
Straight back comes the good
word.. . .
This is the real. crisis. She
can't believe it! She's accepted
It's ,no longer:castles in Spain.,
And the real,,panie begins: •
"It's ridiculous. I ' can't leave
you . and Kim alone. .'You'll;
burnthe house down.. You'll.
forget • to put out -the garbage.
You'll .• die ' of malnutrition., We ,
can't afford .:it. ' You can't We,
,
alongwithout me.'• And so on.
This, of course, :is rank
cowardice. She simply is afraid
to ge.t'. her feet wet in, the .big,'
cold world from which, like all
housewives, 'she has been shel-
tered. all these years', by guess
• who.
So she goes • to visit , her
• mother• for three days, as
sort of trial run. Comes . home
and' is a bit dashedtofind the. • .
house ` still standing,:. garbage
out on schedule,:. 'lawn , cut,
kitchen tidyand ifin and ,I.

• She had to save. face and go
through with' it, but' not before,
trying one more gambit. It was
impossible • financially. There
Was. no way we :could: manage
•it.
•
Father points out that, with ..
• ' judicious borrowing, .We:.can
keep one of the family. going to/
college. Since •Hugh is no. long-
er there, and in fact. has "a:
splendid job laying carpets,
might as Well be she. 'This.
produces•, half a`'day's tears ' of
',mingled 'rage and grief over
Hugh's quitting.
It also produces a' guilt .Com
plex. She vows that nobody. has
ever lived as 'cheaply. at college `•
.as she will.: She's going to pig
it in'.a grubby little.room.:All
'she needs, •is a Sleeping - bag,
_card table, 'hot -plate .andelec=
tric kettle. She'll ;walk miles to
save 'carfare;. hitch=hike home
• on week -ends.
• Hah! Haveyou tried to rent
a cheap little', room lately? Fa:

and while she registered. at the
