Crystal Lake, 01. The state editor of a Detroit paper was nursing along a particularly bbtuse correspondent who frequently forgot essential details in the storiea he filed. One time ha warned the outstater vary sharply to gat names in his dispatches. A couple of days later the correspondent filed this: "Climax, Mich., July 10--Due to possibility of there being rabies spread in this town, our police force has rounded up four dogs recently. Their names are Towaer, Rover, Fido and Prince." By KATHLEEN NORRIS HE case of Mabel Foster is not an unusual one, and is one for which only Mabel can find the solution--or might have found it, if she had anticipated this predicament in time. I cite it, not because there is anything Mabel can do now, but as a warning to other women -- whom this problem is inevitably approaching, and who are as blandly unconscious of its seriousness and its nearness lis Mabel was 20 years ago. Mabel is 68. She is not a very strong woman, although, as she herself says pathetically, "t was always well enough when I was happy." She is unhappy now. For four long years die has been living in a son's house, knowing she is not welcome there. Yet she has no choice. Her capital amounts to a few hundred dollars. Her capable, energetic dsughter-in-lsw assured her that the preaent condition is the best for all concerned; it isn't ideal, Anne concedes, but considering David's position and the family dignity, here in David's home is where Grandma belongs, and she ought to be happy here. B "All my life I was protected, snd there was always plenty of money," says Mabel's letter. "My David, the older David, was s wonderful provider, and our three sons had everything. Lovely rooms, good servants, bicycles, fine schools, college, summer trips. I was so happy with my four big men, and 'Marm' always seemed to be the sweetheart of all four. I wanted them' to msrry, snd rejoiced in the fine girls they picked; I loved my Ave grandchildren, although two live in Buenoa Aires and I rarely see them, and my middle son remained in the army and has been moved about a good deal. "This leaves me with David. He is a generous son, slips me money constantly, is eager to believe that 'Marm' is ideally placed. But Anne and I know better. Anne has no guest room--while I am here. Anne cannot entertain without making some tactful provision for me. I have a good memory, and csn remember just what a nice, quiet old woman does to a young dinner party. I don't blame Anne! Boys Don't Need Grandma. "I was always a hospitable woman. But you can't entertain in your son's house. We have a very good married couple as servants. They will do anything for Anne and David. But when it's the old lady, they balk. If Anne and David go off cn a few days' trip, as they continually do, the servants practically take that time off, too. David's children, boys of 11 and IS, let.d their own lives. They no longer need Grandma to take them to movies or read to them at night. I am not needed, I have no life of my own, 1 have no hope. What can superfluous old women do, when their years of loving and living ace Avar? Go into institutions?" • •;•' Well, Mabel, they cafl do a lot, but it has to be done 25 y^s earlier than the point you have reached. There were many years in your life when part of that money that was thrown away on raising the children's expectations above all reasonable levels, might have been better invested. You did your best to keep them from finding out the value of money, from appreciating realities and from carrying their share of the family responsibilities. You loved spoiling your men, showing Uiem that "Marm" could get *HOMES' CAN BE NtOf After living in luxury moat of her life, Mrs. Mmbel Foster finds herself, el 68, dependent upon her ton's bounty. She feels use' less aifri in the wmy. For a while she urns some help in curing for her grandchildren, but the boys now hmve reached an mge where they no longer need "Grandma." Mabel feels in particular that she is a nuisance to her son's wife, Anne. While Anne is as nice as possible, it is plain that she quietly resents the constant presence of her mother4n-law. Miss Norris tells Mabel that die should have begun preparations for a happy old age 20 years ago. If she had saved out a little of the money that passed through her hands to buy foolish luxuries, she would be independent and happy now. As it is, goes on Miss Norris, the best solution for Mabel now would be to enter one of the better type "homes." Hera sto would have a room of her own, a smaU kitchen and bath. She would have the companionship of people of her men age. Best of all. she would lose that oppressive feeling that she was "no use, and just in the way," f Sfll r---- fat Carriersr;---:, - -- British Sailor: "How fast do your carriers go?"

Just 10,000 of those dollars, Invested in -- say, a four-apartment house in a populated district, would hsve msde you an independent woman now, with the respect and affection of your children won on real terms, not on sentimental romancing. Prepare far Fa tare. To look ahead, to plan for the days when she may be alone, is not "cslculating," it is not "mercenary," in a sensible wife and mother. Nothing makes a man feel freer in his own work, nothing eases his parting from his family, if that must come, more than the realization that those he loved are cared for; that the wife who shared hia young and struggling and ambitious youth will not be dependent in her old age. There is nq, more comfort* able feeling in all the range of a middle-aged woman's emotions than the knowledge that she will gain a dignified and independent age. Mabel Foster speaks scornfully at "an institution." But there are im stitutions especially designed for. women like her, and some of them are very fine and even luxurious. A down payment is necessary, but it seems to me Anne and David could manage that. At 70, the sum paid at an endowed foundation only a I blocks away from me, is $5,000. Most cities have them. In the one I know each woman has a large room and bath, and attached to the bathroom is a tiny cooking closet. Downstairs is an excellent library, a finely managed table. Flowers are everywhere. There are movies twice a week, and each woman is free to come and giL. as she wishes. They have to make one sacrifice, of course. Imaginary, but very real to some of them for ailthat. They do sacrifice pride. They live in a "home." Buf when a "home" means freedom, independence, friendships, modest hospitalities, security, it is a false sense of pride indeed that keeps many a lonely, superfluous old woman from taking advantage of it Out What u 99 Come in and check your brakes on our brake tester without charge.
