LET'S EAT

"People often complain of the woeful lack of maid service,” I said to the Chef. "But what they don't realize is that. today. Amer- ican homes are being supplied with built-in maid service to the extent of 6 billion dollars a year!"

"Most of the ladies do not real- ize they are using it. Madame." he replied ”and so they complain of the high food prices." EXTRA CONVENIENCES

"But. Chef. built-in maid serv- ice means extra conveniences.

"The potatoes already scrubbed. sometimes even peeled: spinach and salad greens washed. packed in cellophane bags ready to use; instant coffee and tea: bread and cake mixes of all kinds; salad resssings: frostings; pureed baby foods; canned foods: frozen foods of all kinds ready to heat and eat."

"These are conveniences of time and labor. Madame.” he agreed "But what about the extra cost?" FAMILY MEALS

"When used to a large extent. it is estimated that these packaged ready-to-cat foods increase the cost for family meals about 51.50 per- person per week. that is S600 I week for a family of four."

E-:.v.".-W31! Puts A Blight On

Family's Social Life

Dear Mary Haworth: At what age does I woman become adult to her "r ? lam 46. married 25 years and have two children. My problem revolves around my mother. who came to live with us two years ago. when newly widowed.

My home was the only one of- fered her; my two sisters claimed they had "no room." We were happy to have her--so much so that I turned over the entire reign to her. Now she has taken com- plete control. and we no longer have any say in our own home. Our main complaint II that she doesn't like any of our friends- neither my woman friends, nor my children's friends nor my hus- band's friends. One by one they have dropped us because of mother's sharp tongue and insults. She says this one eats too much and we can't afford it (of course we can); that one is too noisy; a third is too bold. etc.

WHAT 1! PAIR?

All in all. our friends interfere with mother's snooze: in her favor- ite chair and we can't invite .any- one in. What can we do about this situation? I hate to think ttiiough I sometimes do) that she ought to be "grateful" to us for having her here. But shouldn't she show us some consideration? After all. it is our home; where else can we enter- tain?

1 have tried talking it over with mother. but she gets so excited, and next day she is at the doctor's with high blood pressure. We pro- vide her with spending money and clothing, and never ask for an ac- counting of the "table money" which my husband (God love him) bands directly to her.

We are desperate. Can you help us? Is it fair? My husband and children are grand about all this; but I know it is affecting their lives. and rather than upset me more. they just keep quiet. C.B. INNER MEANING

tion is absurd. And obviously it takes two to produce this kind of problem: namely. you and your mother. It doesn't make sense from the rational view for your mother to rule out your friends. as de- scribed. But by your own admis- sion. you gladly turned over "the entire reign" to her. right from the start-no happy were you to halvie her I member of yopr house- ho . .
