I am a widow, alone in the world. I married late in life and never had chil dren. My only relatives are my two nieces. They are all I have. Now I realize that these two young women are very busy with their families and all of that, but you would think they'd just once in a while find time to visit their aunt. I'm not think ing of myself. I don't care whether they come orTHot, but out of respect for theirNJeparted mother they ought to show a little interest. If their mother knew how they act she would be heartbroken. O Every time they do pay mea visit these girls are in a hurry to leave. They say they are on their way sorrjeijace, or the chil dren get borea and noisy and they say they have to take them home. They don't seem to tiaVe any decent farrlily feeling. Ednc-H. My sister and I are at ourSit's end to know what to do about our aunt. We never seem to please her. We arranged tJiave one of us visit one week, the other the-next. But when we come she sayi how come we re membered at all. She immedi ately says she knows that we hye to leave soon and she doesn't want to hold us.

She says we never learned arty' rfvtjlners. We have asked nt Dora to visit us occasional, buisjie says she knows we don't want an old woman hanging around. She isn't so old and yre ? would like to have her over at times because it is hard for us to always be on the visiting end with the children and all. Th Council: Aunt Dora's loneliness cannot possiblyCfee ap peased by these two nieces and the sooner she recognizes this, the sooner she will find hereby to other sources of companion ship instead of seeking it. She feels so desperately dependent upon others that she fights it in foolish ways, such as finding fault with her nieces and insist ing that they want nothing to do with her. At heart she knows she is making a bigger demand on them than they can fulfill. As long as she is physically able to live by herself, Aunt Dora is also able to find friends. Church activities would be ideal for her. There are also undoubt edly, social clubs and 'crvic or ganizations in her area. She must step out of her self-pity into the world of activity, where she will find others who also need friend ship. More than anything else, Aunt Dora must discover that there are others in the world whd need her. This alone can bring her happiness and self-respect and tear her out of her brood ing despair.

Br 8ID HOLLINGSWOHTH The controversy over the name of Mt. Rainier, like that of Mt.
