takes at central that l wanted to feel
quite sure that l. had the right doc:

You know who this ISL"
II don't think that do"
How mummy! l think would
have known your voice II it hadn't
sounded SO far away. I could hardly
hear you at all, although I hear you
better now. You hear me better than
you did at first, don't your"
II hear you we'll enough. What is
1t, and who is it?"
How stupid OF me not to tell you
who l am. / am Mrs. Chatteron,. anu

the medicine you left for Robbie yes.

the fever has gone down."
you might give 1t little less fire.
quently-say. about half as often
"You mean once every two hours
instead of once an hour? l think |
understand. Another question: Shall
! let him have all the water he wants
to drink"
"Sure! must"
another question. What bless
ing the telephone is in case Of sick
ness! 1t saves time and car fare,
and is such a mercy, I wonder that
anyone ever does without a phone, 1t
only to use in case of illness. Our
neighDor across the street hasn't any
phone. They had one, and her nus
band died and she had to retrench
in every way possible; so she let her
phone be taken out, and several
times she has run over here and
phoned fora doctor when her little
boy was i'll. He is very delicate. In
fact, some of the neighbors feel that
he is going just as his father did, al
though we do not tell his mother so.
She has had so much troublealready
that we feel that She" 7,

of course! One more question:
II Bobbie continues to gain, can |
dress him this afternoon? He i"
such very, very active child that
1t is extremely difficult to get him
to stay in bed.
81 almost hesitate about telling
you, lest you. think that / am care
less and not a very good nurse; but
when came up to his room today
this morning, from the kitchen, after
toasting his some bread, found him
running around in his room in his
little pajamas. / hustled him right
back into bed and hope no Ill effects
will come from it. If had thought
| would have had the maid come up
and stay with him and see to 1t that
he didn't get up. He is usually a
very obedient boy, doctor, but he
does dislike SO to lie IN bed; for, US
say, he is so active and One
more question:: Do you think II
probable that he can go out by Sat
urday afternoon? The reason that /
ask is that one Of his little cousins
is to have a birthday party then, and
Of course, Robbie will wantrt0 go. A
friend of mine who has a motor car
would, | am sure, be willing to take
him in her car; but even then ]
wouldn't want him to go If you did
not think it best for him to do so,
because on, another question:
Shall continue the bandage around
his throat, now that he does not
cough very much and his throat
seems better? He makes so much
fuss about having to keep on the
bandage, and, as I say, he-Heilo,
there! You there; doctor? You
there? Hello! Hello! If they
haven't gone and cut us off! shall
enter complaint about this! It's u
great idea that l can't have the line
long enough to ask the doctor a ques-
ton In case OF sickness without be-
ing cut of like this!"
