I MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Quits Job to Raise Family Misses Contact with Associates Dear Mary Haworth: The bitter truth must be that I never had any real friends, or they would still be my friends. I was a career girl for eight hapby years, in an office employing hundreds of girls, four of whom I liked especially. Then six months ago I gave up my wonderful job to have a baby, a darling son--and this phase of £ | life makes me very happy. I hope before I have ve no desire to return to the business world and, fortunately, it isn't necessary. But I feel as if I had lost my workaday friends. I call each of them for a short chat several times a month, and they are cordially invited to visit us, for dinner if possible. But I feel I am runnng after them. One or two have paid me a visit and telephone occasionally, but I had expected to keep in closer touch. Remembering my own childléss days, I don't monopolize the con- versation with baby talk. ENVIES ANOTHER Although I am in .a position to make new friends, of women I've met at the pre-natal clinic, in, the hospital, over the back fence, etc., it won't be too lon I was determined not to lose these | associations formed in business.

She has enjoyed great achivement in things intellectual and naturally feels she should excel in physical skills at which she has not had normal ex-- periences.

I know some women in their thirties who still meet reg- ularly with high school chums and frankly I envy them. In high scool I had one in- separable girl frield; then I went to college and she took a job and we drifted apart. In college I had two close friends, and these con- tacts gradually expired after grad- uation. I blame myself; I was too busy carving out a career to pre- serve old friendships. Do I have a problem? Should I sunply accept the fact that I am no longer a business girl, and adjust to my new role by acquir- ing new friends? I shall certainly appreciate your views. N.C.

In this you weren't different from them, of course; they too were neces- sitously interest in pushing ahead in the procession. Now you've withdrawn from the race and anchored in a quiet lagoon, to become a full-time homemaker and mother.

However, this state of affairs doesn't signify any change in them towardse you. It isn't rejection of you, personally. It is merely a case of their automatic adjustment to your disappearance from their workaday life.

If you were still a careerist, and another girl had retired to raise a family, how assiduously would you: cherish the contact? Your intentions might be cordial. Yet in the daily struggle to use time to best advantage, you might find many presumably more ur- gent things to do than visiting her in Suburbia. In my view, you shouldn't fret if old conferes drift away. Commun- icate with them as you can, with- out intruding.
