Dear Mrs. Bliss I want to go on a- vacation more than I ess tell you. This'pest year has been a very hard working one for both me and my husband. Here's our problem: We have two children, only three and five. My husband's mother is having a fit because we have talked about taking them - with us. Frankly-, - to ' leave them with her would make my vacation so miserable that it wouldn't be worth going. My mother'' is 111 and can't tend to them and I really think their place Is with us anyway. any-way. My husband is skeptical. He thinks our chances of any fun at all are ruined if we take the kids.

D. telling 'about falling in love with her sister's husband. and the other from Mrs. R. T. say ing she thought It was all right for D. D. to snatch her1 sister's husband if she could. I am much in favor of your answer to her. I think she is just a little fickle to even think - of breaking up her sister's home. Furthermore, I think it is girls like that who make a practice of breaking up homes. She doesn't know whst real love is. I wss certainly reared differently. I have five sisters and 1 wouldn't think of hurting any one of them and they have very fine husbands. Mrs. O. D. T. ' .- |
