A'ow-, my relationsiup with my parents-in-law looms as an insoluble difficulty. When my husband died, I was so down cast it never occurred to me I would ever again want to be married.

If the young man is wil ling to live with us, he is wel come. But if he cannot accept that situation, perhaps he will also finci it difficult to accept a stepson. I am. frankly, afraid of the complications if Evelyn and her husband should have other children. "And if we have three or four more days of this weather."

She should have maintained close relations with them, but should have made it clear she would have her own home as soon as circumstances permitted. The invitation to the suitor to join the family of the in-laws may be entirely sincere, but it is rather preposterous. The future marriage would have a better prospect if Evelyn were already maintaining her own home. As long as the boy is cared by the grandmother, this man will nev er find out whether he is reallv willing to become the bov's father. The present setting is simnlv not conducive to a good start in a new marriage for Evelvn and narenf Q-in.Iaif nave certainly done their best; they can best help now by as sisting Evelyn to get her own apartment, and to let her raise j her own son. Such a course would serve better to earn her continued gratitude and to keep close ties with the grandson than any bitterly controversial atti tude. Mr. B.S.K's course would either prevent the marriage from taking place or probably doom it to failure. In either case, all concerned would be hurt, the grandson probably most of all.

GRAPE PH. 3-1971 Eugene :U.R' Circuit Judge William Fort has ruled that fraud was connected with the signing ; of waivers to a Eugene woman's i estate, reportedly valued at I S100.000. j The judge made the ruling in ! a suit brought against Edward J. Phillips. Eugene electrical con tractor, by three persons who thought for many years that Phillips was their father. The three sued Phillips, charg ing that he fraudently persuaded them to sign waivers to their rights to the estate of their late mother, C o r r i n e I. Phillips Wilske. They grew up thinking they were Phillips' children, but dis covered that their real father was Carl F. Wilske of Illinois. During the trial. Wilske had claimed ttoat his wife had de serted him for Phillips in 1929. taking the three children with her. The children claimed that after their mother's death, Phil lips had them sign a paper that later turned out to be a waiver of their rights to the estate. CIVIL WAR SALUTES Geneva. N.Y.
