Your lovely Helen is going about th* business of being a mother in a most admirable way, and while I regret the circumstances that required her to come back home for a year, I am delighted to have the chance to renew a friendship that dates back to mud pie days. Since they happened only yester day, it was a real jolt to see her Fam and my Kristin playing together for the first time and realize "them days are gone forever!" .. • • Instead of playing in the dirt with "snuff- cans and water at we used to do, they dress their Barbie dolls in . elaborate wardrobes suitable for every occasion, and they prefer to get their kicks from presweetened Kool Aid instead of stealthily dipping cocoa and sugar.
