what proved to be the body of babe
of some three months development.
The boys were playing about on the
| thing when one of them noticed

and gestures all brought back certain
scenes and episodes in our life and,
somehow, caused me to rather wish
that our case might end as the play

deal about the foolishness of people
who rush into the divorce courts with
