QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
NJ. Y.-''How long should one
wait after a major operation be-
fore going to work either as a
waitress or press operator?
Answer-As long as possible.
In other words. as long as eco
nomic circumstances permit. I
believe that at the least three
or four weeks of convalescence
should be allowed for any major
operation. Better three of four
TO six months. II takes a long
time for adjustments, physical
and mental. to be made under
such circumstance.

So matters stood when a

habitat at Pottersville, to
take up residence at Bromley
House. She was by far its
youngest guest, and she was
accepted there only because
the manager, a close friend of
her family's, had undertaken
that Francine should tread
the straight and narrow path,

toward the room clerk.
"My son will be here to-
morrow. I'll need an extra
room as near mine as pos

before the words came out.
"Your son, Colonel" the
clerk was dumfounded.
"Yes, my son, said" the
colonel almost shouted his
irritation.
OUT OF HIS LIFE
After all. then. there had
been truth in the faint rumor
of the colonel's early mar
riage. Nobody, howeve
seemed to have heard that it
had ended in a bitter divorce,
his wife returning with their
small baby to her parents in
Canada. He'd never heard
from her since then.
To all intents and purposes,
therefore, the colonel and
Ross Jr., were strangers.
Young Ross. il seemed. was
on his way to take over a
good job he'd got for himself
in New York, and without so
much as a by your leave from
his mother, he'd decided to
look up his long-lost father.
Francine would giggle. as
she looked at them. you're
so absurdly alike, you two"
she'd say.
At first they were a merry
trio, Francine, Ross Jr., and
the colonel. Gradually. how
ever, the colonel was left to
himself. Once again he was
making polite conversation
about the military aspects of
the war with the other in

But it was only after the
colonel had overheard Fran
cine gasp with admiration. as
she said to Ross Jr.. feeling
his arm. Darling. I do believe
your muscles are bigger than
pops" that the colonel slowly
made his way to the small
bar. directly tucked away in
a corner of the lobby.
The colonels bender this
time assumed such Importance
that young Ross tucked him
into bed.
"See here, dad" he said
sternly. you're too old for
such shinanigans. You need
somebody to look after you"
His tone was patronlZlng.

difference in their ages, she
led one to believe, made it
permissible for her to pursue
him quite braZenly. whenever
she caught a glimpse of him.
1t grew so that she'd tele-
phone his room for him TO
come downstairs. whenever
she wanted somebody to talk
to. or take walk with her.
The colonel, trifle bewildered
at first, if the truth were
told. finally settled down to
an acceptance of the adora-
ton laid at his feet by gay
little Francine, who would
take hold of his arm and gaze
up at him to say:
Gosh, colonel, I never did
feel such muscles in all my
life"
Bromley House didn't know
what to make of the situation.
Some considered theirs a
charming relationship. Others
thought the colonel kind to
keep Francine out of mischief.
But some. alas. murmured
that there was no fool like
an old fool.
I'm just her chaperOn,"
the colonel would explain
sheepishly when twitted about
Francine.

The Driscolls completely
lost sight of the colonel, and
Amanda grew sufficiently wor-
ried to pass by Bromley House
one day. just as the colonel
was sitting in the lobby with
Francine. as usual. at his side.
With great effusiveneSs he
made the two known to each
other, insisting they partake
a cup of tea with him.
The party fell a trifle fiat,
although Francine talked her
normal gay banter and the
colonel, in spite of the strain
of embarrassment. tried to
keep the conversation rolling.
There was a distressed look

in Amanda's clear blue eyes

He could most frequently
