the first ten minutes we couldn't
talk fast enough. Then Donnie ap-
peared, led down the aisle by a
little girl. He looked fine, and
could talk quite smoothly. In
fact, both Mildred and I often COM
mented upon the fact that he. never
passed through the 'baby talk"

came back much improved in

her long vacation, I had steadily
forged ahead financially And
when, a few days after her re-
turn, she suggested that we buy
more furniture-which we really

obligation readily, signing more
notes and making my monthly
outlay considerably higher than

our own home, free, happy, con-
