DEAR ABBY: "Hurt in Indiana" remarked that whenever she went to her son's home, she noticed pictures of his wife's family prominently displayed all over the house, but not one picture of his family was in evidence. That reminds me of this story:
One of my lifelong friends remarried after her first husband died. Husband No. 2, whose first wife had died, kept a very large portrait of Eve, Wife No. 1, hanging over the fireplace.
Finally, my friend, one of nature's true noblewomen, who wouldn't hurt a flea if she could get out of its way, said to Husband No. 2: "I have a very good portrait of Clifford (Husband No. 1) that would look lovely beside Eve."
The next day Eve's portrait mysteriously disappeared. -- AMUSED IN TULSA
