We'll pay $9 for published questions.’ Sorry, we can't answerothers. Lexington Ave., New York, NY. 1002 FOR PRINCESS GRACE OF MONACO I understand you are a strong exponent of breast feeding. Why?—Mres.R.J. Allen, Waco, Texas @ It’s kind ofdifficult, I think, to give children a sense of values with all this exposure nowadays to depravity. But— at least this is the way I feel—when children can watch a motherbreast feeding, it helps them realize the wholesome- 2 4 = nessof sex and prepares them for what they are exposed to outside the home.I think oneof the ways we canhelp com- bat this current waveof public indecency is to concentrate upontheincrease andsolidity’ of the family. And this solidity begins with the child at the mother's breast . . I wished I could have nursed mychildrenlonger, but I hadto get back to work. I wasn’t influenced (tobreast feed) by anything except my own feelings. 1 couldn't think of having a baby without feeding him myself. It made the experience more complete. FOR DR.

In the supermarket, we are allowed to search for ourselves. I think the mostsatisfying supermarkets are those in which any logical arrangementof the produce is carefully avoided.
