Alan's father was a gruff bass
voice encased in 24O pounds Of dy-
manic clay. He had a quantity
of very white hair which his
fingers kept in perpetual revolt,
a red faNe with tiny threadlike
redder veins on the cheek bones,
and a guffaw that seemed to
culver walls and windows. He
was a widower. He was a darl-
ing.
Gay liked him immensely, not
the least of her reasons being the
indisputable fact that he was de-
lighted with her. She was, he
maintained, precisely the sort of

"without everyone's rubbing 1t in

his first initials. criticized his
cravats. scolded him, bossed him,
made much Of him. To this
treatment he responded with all
the yerve of a 60-year- old gentle
man whose spirit is still is. He
became at once a fond father,
famous admirer and willing slave.
"You won't need to look for a
place to live" Pomeroy pere had
informed them on their first day
back. i've got your home all
picked out for you. Ready in two
or three weeks now"
He was gleefully mysterious
about it. He would answer no
questions. not a one. They were
to wait, and in due time they

Possibly she would have done so

Another bad habit-irregularity in

weak bowels and constipation in
babies. Give the tiny bowels an
opportunity to act at regular
periods each day. If they don't
act at first, little Fletcher's Cas-
