The World o Women Cone and The Housewife
Dear Ann Landers, I just
read the letter from the bitter
mother whose son married a
girl she couldn't stand. Here
is my story:
Our only son married a young
woman who was pregnant with
another man's child. I hated her
and I let her know it, They
lived a few blocks from us for
ten years but I never went near
their home. My husband grew
to love the girl and begged me
from time to time to set aside
my hard feelings for the sake
of the four lovely grandchildren,
but I was unable to do so.
The day our daughter-in-law
had a terrible automobile acci-
dent my husband put down his
foot and said, "Enough of this
hating. You must go now and
take care of those children."
Thank God I listened to him.
I found a beautifully organized
home, fine mannered, respectful
children, and I also found a
great deal of love there.
Last year my husband died.
and who do you think is my
greatest comfort? It's my oldest
grandson — the one I despised
before he was born. He takes me
shopping does my errands,
brings his girl to my house and
he even insists that I go to the
movies with them occasionally.
Please tell "Bitter Mother" to
learn from my experience. She
may not get a second chance as
I did.—KANSAS CITY.
Dear Kansas City: Thank you
for your heartwarming letter.
Your daughter-in-law deserves a
great deal of credit. When it
came her turn to forgive, she
did. I am very happy for all
of you.
Dear Ann Landers; For 35
years my husband ate, and liked

the moils I cooked for him. He
has refilled his plate time and
time again and devoured every-
thine but the pattern on the
china.
Suddenly he has decided I
don't know how to cook. He is
behind me in the kitchen. adding
a pinch of salt and a dash of
pepper or draining the vege-
tables "so they don't boil out."
He keeps lifting lids and stir-
ring things
Frankly, he is getting on my
nerves.
Yesterday he tagged along to
the supermarket and took a jar
of fancy olives out of my cart
and replaced them with smaller
ones. When I selected a broom,
he yelled at the top of his voice,
"What do you need THAT for?"
I screamed back at him, "To
paint your portrait."
Several shoppers heard us and
I'm sure they thought we were
trash. Will you please tell me,
Ann, is it possible that my hus-
band is going through the meno-
pause? I've heard that it can
happen to men, Yes or No?
SLOW BURN.
Dear Slow: Yes, A change in
the chemical structure of the
body can create changes in the
personality. This happens to
some men, as well as women,
when they reach "middle age."
Urge your husband to make
an appointment with his doctor.
Help for him means help for
you.
Dear Ann Landers: I appreci-
ated your telling off the wo-
man who called her neighbor
"Mrs. Watchmacallit" because
her name was difficult to pro-
nounce.
Our name is also difficult to
pronounce. An added problem
is that our name when mispro-
nounced, sounds like a dirty
word, When people innocently
make this mistake should I cor-
rect them? Or would it be bad
manner s" — EMBARRASSED
OFTEN.
Dear Em: If I mispronounced
a name — especially in a way
that made it sound like a dirty
word — I would very much ap-
preciate the correction. Speak
up, woman!

should be spread liberally with
butter. This will prevent moist
foods from soaking into the
bread and will prevent drying
when the sandwich thaws. Re-

gredients with the exception of
egg white, raw vegetables, and
mayonnaise will freeze well.
Frozen sandwiches, individ-
ually wrapped in double layers
of wax paper can be stored in
the refrigerator freezer come

For longer storage, label and
wrap each sandwich in special
freezer food wrap and keep in

utes were read by the secretary,

ber.

ers. Mrs. Lapp gave a reading
from an 1880 paper entitled
"The Virtue of Vegetables". In

bles were claimed as a cure or

good blood purifier, onions for
the nerves, rhubarb a laxative,
and so forth.

Harvest festival
held at St, Paul's
St. Paul's Anglican Church

of harvest thanksgiving. The
morning service was attended
by a large congregation with

ton, preaching the sermon,

ganist and choir director for
both morning and evening ser-
vices. The morning service

sung by Mrs. Clarence Wade
and Harry Brydges.
Guest preacher for the eve-
ning service was The Venerable
Dr. A. Abraham, Archdeacon
of Lambton and rector of St.
George's Church in Sarnia.
Speaking of St. Paul's itself
Dr. Abraham said the congre-
gation should be grateful for the
beautiful building, for such
churches are not generally built
today. He spoke of his recol-
lections of harvest festivals in
Ireland when he was a boy and
of the evidence of people pre-
senting their first fruits to the
Lord.
His text was from Habakkuk
3:17. Dr, Abraham explained
how dependent people of an-
cient rimes were on a good har-
vest to illustrate the unshake-

said he would rejoice in the
Lord "Although the fig tree shall
not blossom..."
Visitors were present from
other Wingham congregations
for the evening service.
