Mrs. Padgett said. This material

Of scattered material of a purely

by insects, have undergone miracu-
lous restoration processes, through
efforts of such societies as the
Daughters of the American Colo
nists."

In TINES of stress, Winnie sought oonsola-

this was crisis indeed, that evening found him
on the Jones' front steps, debating various
solutions to his problem.
Know where can get job? Dad says
gotta earn my money from now on"
Oh. That Looks like l may have to, too.
NV folks are beginning to hint around
Yeah? Those notions ought to be dis
couraged. No telling where they might lead

the future, to see himself the central figure in
a vast financial empire, chained to his desk
by crushing responsibilities. old and liberated
before his time. Finally he frightened:
Look. How about starting Our own business?
Be our own bosses and make lots of money

Winnie brain child 50 preoccupied him that
night that he assimilated only fragments of
the family conversation, though he did gather
vaguely that Dad had been waging losing

had about wrecked his hopes.
