say that he has aged perceptibly, for
beneath that which outwardly indicates
age. there is the evidence of a JOY
that savors Of the renewed strength of
youth The fact is that the strange

is easily accounted for by the fact that
he is now q grandfather, a charming
young lady having come to the home
of his son, Frank and wife. in Madison
