What's the matter"
Really. I don't know. Just sort
|of an all-fn feeling. Perhaps IL spring
fever"
Come 70 think Of it. I'm not as chip
per myself as I ought 20 be. Why, yes
terday morning it was an effort for
me- to get out Of bed 3"
4 haven't been right for severaI
days. 7 called our doctor I'D yester-
day, but he just laughed at me. think
OF 1t; laughed at HE when / told him

Didn't he do anything for you?"
/ Not thing except TO tell me to for
get st and stir around and get out and
drink in some fresh air"
isn't that awful? Mine did that 10
me once and that was the last time
for him"
You did Just right dearie, and I
have a notion to follow your example.
+ When We call a doctor he ought to
give as something to help us. ANY
+ body can give US advice. The iceman
/ could tell me to go outside and drink
+ in the air Sort of exchanging hot air
/ FOR cold air, as Il were. and then
/ charging me for it in the bargain
How do YOU feel? Can't eat. I sup
+ pose, and your feet are heayy?"
How did you guess it?''
Just what allied me, but I got some
/ thing, I can't recall the name of it,
/ bat it fixed me up fine
! Certainly. Your doctor has some
/ sense. He wouldn't let you go ON SUI
/ feTiug and not try to help you He

day until / am relieved What are
doctors Tor If they are not to prescribe
I FOR their patieuts2 I guess know
! when I am i'll, and when q doctor tells
me that I am not it makes me angry"
Have you heard how Jessie is get

Yes, she'll be able to be up and
around tomorrow. She had q terrible
time the poor dear"
'It's q wonder that she pulled
through She isn't very strong. I'M
deTstand."
NO, but she's why. Those skinny
persons can stand lot more than
their healthier looking sisters"
But they say one is never the same
after an appendicitis operation. 1t
seems TO pull one down So"
Il never heard that before. I hope
II isn't SO ia 5essie's case because she
hasn't much to go on 1t wouldn't take
many pulls until she could hide be-
hind mop stick"
And her husband is such whale
can't refrain from laughing when I
see them together
al
on that account because they are sell
dom together ia public"
Aren t they conganIaI7"
.0he my, yes. as far as I know. but
he's one Of those big, lazy house bugs,
never goes any place except TO his
business. When he comes home in
the evening he's there to stick It
would take squad of policemen to
pull him out of the house.
But he's awfully good TO her. She
has everything in the world that she
wants. I cant for the life Of me see
how tat man falls IN love with a
wasp like her and vice versa Yet
they say nobody loves a fat man"
You have probably noticed that big
men are invariably good natured. That /
is what wins with q woman. She likes
to be fused over.
Oh, I don't know. Fred never /
He didn't? Then how did you come +
to marry him 20
Because [ loved him"
Well, he made YOU love him. didn't F
no. he didn't make me. He didn't
