!y of boys and one small girl
.vho was somew hat neglected. It
oU'.'hed my heart one day to see
her dressing ar.d undressing her
doll in its one and only dress. So.
I f;ct busy and made her doll a
wardrobe.
The child was thrilled and wc
;ecame good friends. Now we
aktt long walks together and I'm
teaching her the names of flow
ers, plants and trees. She has
become acquainted with other lit
tle girls in the park and is learn
ing to play nicely with them un
ucr my supervision.
Her mother tells me the girl's
personality has blossomed since I
l interest in her. She
says I have been a Godsend.
Please pass this on to others who
are bored trying to amuse them
selves. Contented.
Dean Ann Landers: My blood
pressure is really up there as a
result of that letter from "In
terested Family." So they did
n't want their socially prominent
mother, age 52, to marry a gar
age mechanic because it might
injure her social standing, eh?
Well. I am a widow. 54, who
has 'social standings", too, what
ever that means. I also own s
lovely home, a car, and I have the
means to travel, entertain and do
as I please. My children are
through college, married and on
their own.
I live alcne and it's an empty,
unsatisfying life. Please tell "In
terested Family" to let Mother
do as she wishes. And while
you're at it, ask them if that gar
age mechanic has a friend. I'm
an Interested Widow.
Dear Interested- Widaw: You
sound like a living doll, and I
wish I could pluck a man out
of my reading audience, just for
you. I'm sure there are many
who would qualify. But this
isn't that kind of a column.
(Ann Landers will be glad to
help you with your problems
Send them to her in care of this
newspaper enclosing a stamped.
sell-addressed envelope.)
Dear Ann: That man who sign
ed himself "Superior Sex" really
made me mad. He sounded just
like my old man. In fact if my
husband could SDell decent I
would swear he wrote that let
ter. So men are the "strong sex"
are they? Since when? I always
