treasure it very much It has been broken in two places but I saved the pieces I would like very much to have it mended as it cannot be replaced I would certainly appreciate any information Ethelyn Bellande RL 16 Box 1323-L Birmingham 9 Ala Phone TR 1-1123 DEAR ETHELYN: I was told the one name we had of a local person who mended old china and glassware no longer is in business If there is a

no trade-ins are accepted by leading Venetian blind companies here To replace cords tapes and repaint your old blinds will cost less than new ones There are many DEAR MARY MASON: I could not help thinking about the second wife who said her husband's ex-wife was coming to visit his family Seems as long as the family makes the first wife welcome there is not much could be done about it I am divorced from my first husband and I love his pepole as much as ever and they Yes I am married again and so is my ex-husband the use to hang the whole family just because you can't get along with their son? Mrs DEAR MRS No one needs to because a man and his wife agree to disagree and get a divorce But can you feel that you or any other woman should make it difficult for another woman to make a pleasant marriage with a man you failed to make happy? Seems to me In situations of this kind it's the first duty not to make any mischief that will create discord between the man to whom she once was married and the woman to whom he now is married As long as she no longer is in his life does it not seem to you she would not try to project herself into the life of another woman who owes her nothing? To remain friends with your first husband's family could not be wrong unless that is objectionable to your present husband and his family These messy situations all come about when a couple attempt to divorce themselves without sacrificing other intimate associations a tricky' thing to do without stirring up resentment somewhere along the line Kathy Moore Charles Cunningham Kathryn Rutledge Jim Ott
