FATHERS AND FAMILIES
Sir,-Regarding the short story "Family," please tell the author that I cons der Alice to be an_ intellectual snob. I am reminded of, I think, Mark Twain, who is reputed to have said that when he was 20 he found his father
so ignorant that he could barely stand having the old man around the house. However, when Mark Twain reached 30 he was amazed at the amount of knowledge his father had accurnulated in the intervening 10 years. Perhaps in 10 years’ t.me "Family’s" author will give us a sequel.
