but on this occasion he concluded To
see the Fight to finish.
Then the other members of our din
liner party began arriving and the mad
revei was on.
Uncle Peter brought q friend--the
famous food expert, Doctor Smother

The doctor is a high card with Uneie
Peter.
He is one OF those old ginks with,
beady eyes and a license TO hunt for
S germs. aud everything be eats has

Uncle Peter believes every word
that leaves Doc Smotherjoy's face, but
for my part think he's an old Cam
enlbert.
At any rate. no sooner were we seat
ed at the table than Doc parted his.
whiskers carefully, coughed to attract
attention. then picked up lsttle-neck
clam on the end of his fork and pro-

Uncle Gregory pushed his plate back
with q sigh that was pltiful to hear.
Peaches was now SO nervous that
her hands were doing a shaker dust.
and there was a big. pink spot on
each cheek.
The others at the table, with the
exception Of nervous old Uncle Greg
ory. paid not the slightest attention to
Doctor Busyface.
Even Uncle Peter threw away his.
germ fear after the clam episode, and
toek long chance with everything
from soup to nuts.
Next we had some turkey with
mashed potatoes, green peas and
asparagus tips.
