said Dave. Better keep your seat You
might fall over when you see her.
The door opened and she stood before
them. She no longer wore her uniform Her
gown was smartly cut and very blue; wispy
hat was perched on an exotic hairdo that
revealed her dark curls. and her face pro-
claimed three hours of tender care at a
beauty parlor. "Throck, sweetheartr' she
cried, and ran forward to throw her arms

and ffty-four.
A snapshot of Alicia, after two weeks was
definitely encouraging. True, she was still
but a shadow of her prewar self. But she
was no longer the well-proportioned, clear
eyed woman who'd walked into Throck's
Office a few weeks before. Her eyes were
CLASSY, and her jowls much heavier. She held
her head high. but the suggestion of a double
chin was there. Her hips had begun to billow.
Dave, studying the photo through magnify
ing glass, saw that the top buttons of her
skirt had popped off.
At the end of three weeks Alicia couldn't
wear stitch she'd brought with her. She
had taken to Aunt Annabeles Mother Hub
bards and she waddled - the word was
Aunt Annabelle's. As for the suffering, Aunt
Annabele wrote, they were still working
at it. The children had been little lambs -
always remembered to stutter whenever
Alicia was in earshot In fact, Aunt Annabelle
doubted if the children could stop suffering
now, even if they tried. She herself had been
equally conscientious, and results were begin
ming to show. Several times Alicia had had
trouble with her and ch sounds.
ALICIA touched a hundred and sixty-fve
after twenty y-five days, and Aunt Annabelle
prophesied an all-time high of hundred
and ninety.
A second snapshot arrived and it made
Dave whoop with joy. Mote the waistline!
Observe the second chin and the droll express
sion it gives her. We have practically the

and closed his eyes. Its CHASTITY"
You're keeping faith with the public
One look at her and they'll howl
"TH look at her and weep" said Throck.
"Pagliacci, my friend" said Dave, you
won't weep when you're selling standing
room at every performance
Il speak as Tmockmorton, the man.
Alicia romped along up to hundred and
slxty-seven. And there. oddly enough, she
stopped. 1t seemed, at first, a temporary
setback. Even when she slipped to one
slxty-two, Dave didn't worry He deemed it
just brief reaction; but when she dipped to
one fifty-five he became alarmed
He phoned Aunt Annabelle and found her
abashed and apologetic. Il can't understand
it, she said Never have cooked food so
temptingly, My goulash last evening was a
dream. And Alicia wouldn't eat bite"
How long has it been going on?"
"A week. A week ago she was asleep in the
hammock, and rolled out and sprained her
wrist. sent for young Doc Wiley, and he
came and bandaged it. Since then she hasn't
eaten"
Il never heard of sprained wrist affecting
an appetite. Send for him again
Il did. said she hadn't eaten in four DAYS.
He said if she didn't eat for four weeks it
wouldn't matter. And Dave" 4 Aunt Anna
