nearer normal than at any time since
he was shot and SO nearly at usual
points that concern over his condition
vanished.

when Mrs. Roosevelt appeared in his
doorway laughing. She had been told
on the way up to his floor that the
colonel's condition had been found ex-
ceptionally good in the examination
just concluded and her apprehension
had vanished.
When the other mem bers of his FAM
lily appeared, the same CHEEKY greet
ing met them at the doorway and he
asked them to draw up chairs to his
bedside and ''gossip with him."

the situation having worn off, he pre-.
