Dear Ann Landers,
What does one say to children when they ask questions about an aunt who lives in a beautiful apartment, drives a new car every two years, wears elegant clothes, exquisite jewelry and furs, and doesn't have a job? The truth is she's the great and good friend of a rich old coot who is married. Rita has a nice personality and behaves like a lady. She is generous to her widowed mother and is always there with her checkbook when someone in the family needs help. I guess you'd call her a good egg. But this doesn't alter the fact that she is a kept woman. What do I tell my chil-dren?-Stuck For An Explanation

Dear Stuck,
Tell your children Aunt Rita is good to her widowed mother, is always there with her checkbook when someone in the family needs help, and that she is a good egg.
