It gives them both a feeling of se- curity and comfort. They both love the same man in differ-en- t ways of course, so there is no rivalry there. They can share his letters, talk about him to each other, knowing that they care more than anyone else in the world. Living together is also more convenient and cheaper for two women, as ivell as safer. If there are children, the older woman can look after them sometimes. She is glad to be helpful. This arrangement helps to lessen the serviceman's worries when he is far away. Being human, however, two women a generation apart in interests and ideas will sometimes get on each other's nerves. When they write about their petty disagreements to a soldier at the front, they are harming his morale. Generally there is no serious quarrel. For the soldier's sake, as well as for their own, the wife and mother should endeavor to get on harmoniously. They should keep their complaints and criticisms out of their letters to their man at the front who has worries enough already. gether, which makes you very proud. Remind your mother that she is the finest, gentlest, most generous woman you ever knew, and say that Nan loves her. And write Nan that you know this arrangement isn't what your dear courageous little wife expected married life to be, but that wars end, and you'll be back one of these days, and make it up to her with all the rest of your life. One Type of War Service. The real answer to your letter ought to go to your mother and Nan. They probably only need a word oi advice to make this arrangement work, because of their love for you. for 8 It is a real type of man's wife and his family to make a harmonious adjustment of this sort for the duration; it is easier, less expensive, more practical foi both. Whatever news comes from the man they both love they can share; and it gives him a great sense of stability and security tc have them together. He worries much less about his young wife, about his babies if there are chil dren, to know that the older womar is with them, sharing the work and the responsibility. If both women will weigh the al ternative; the difficulties and the loneliness of two establishments; tht doublod cost; the solitary and uninteresting meals, they may mutually reach the conclusion that the natura' and the dignified thing is for thcrr to put up with the inevitable littl difficulties that arise because the; ore of different ages, and in un ! trifles are of differed cs$, too mterests, ambitions, a mightj mother a find will Niin convenient thing to have behind hei and as foi in these troubled days, one thinf the why, mother Harris' world U for which she prays in this will love her. wife son's her that e .t U WV.hc n- 'iruatchm ,d army), r50onful . him because hJ'k or te7 Tito's. . ll- - Goering r?,;"e for trc,i tohis home ami-..S- r! lku.il r- '-t hirh TOnvenient!y hrw m jar- X drew Pearson v inn It as a berry an.l buoyant as ever.
