DEAR HELEN:
I loved Bloodthirsty Mom's let- j
ter. My favorite threat to our
young whippersnappers is, "I’ll
push you right through the walls."
They reply with a laugh, which
makes me forget I was ever mad.
-MRS. R. R.
DEAR MRS. R.:
A few other bloodthirsty threats
from my far - from - bloodthirsty
readers: “I'll bop you into the
middle of next week,” “Plow you
under,” "Pulverise you.” And
we mothers complain because
our kids don’t listen? If they did
they’d never stop running.—H.

Something extra - special for

well be a versatile car coat!
In the few years since these
coats leaped into fashion prom-

of exciting variations on the car
coat theme . . .
Utilitarian poplins, melton
cloths, narrow and wide wale
corduroys and heavy body knits
have taken on fanciful fur or fake
fur collars, cuffs and linings . , .
other coats show off with pop-

trims; details such as plaid or
patterned linings, peg buttons,
hooded sweaters, dramatic ski
types and long, deep and cuddly
coat styled sweaters.

DEAR HELEN:
I wrote you recently abort teen-
age boys doing work around the
house, and that I didn’t approve
of it. You said I’d feel different-
ly if I had a brother. Well,
have. He is 20 years old, and
I think and awful lot of him. He
works from U p.m. until 7 a.m.
and sleeps part of the day, then
goes to a different job at 5 p.m.
and comes home at 9 p.m. I do
most of his work because he
hasn’t time.
I still think it makes a boy feel
sissy when he has to do women’s
work.—A TEEN-AGE GIRL
DEAR TEEN:
Touche! You'll make a wonder- j
ful wife.
But I still think a small knowl-
edge of housework makes a (job-
less) boy less apt to create it.-H.

DEAR HELEN:
Is it possible to love a man, |
truly love him, and yet know he [
is not the man you should havel
married?
Four years ago I moved from
the city to a small town, fell in
love with and married a local
boy. We were both 20. Now we
have three childrn and a lovely
home here. I love him more than
ever, and we seem to get closer
all the time, but city and country
don’t mix. I try to ignore things
that annoy me, but sometimes I
find myself snapping, "Can’t you
take off your dirty work clothes
before you eat?” When I invite
his family for dinner they come
in their field-plowing clothes, and I
I just wonder what I’m doing in
such a place. I live in terror
that my children will grow up
like them.
My biology teacher once said
that love is voluntary, you don’t
HAVE to love anyone. Should I
try to turn this wonderful feeling
off and try to turn it on for some-1
one else who is more suitable?)
Sometimes I think of getting a di-
vorce and marrying again but I I
couldn’t imagine a life without
