"I've put on 10 pounds," she laughed. "How's married life?" queried Carter Bradford. "Why not get mairied and find out for yourself, Catt?" countered Nora. "What chance has a man got," growled Carter, "with a smooth-talking author in the house--" "Unfair competition," cut in Jim. "In the house!" exclaimed Nora.

"Mother, you never wrr'e me!" "It was the least we -ould do," explained Hermy, "seeing how sweet he was about giving up his lease." "Nice fella," said John F. "Bring back any stamps?" But Pat urged impatiently: "Nora, shake off these men and let's you and I go somewhere arid "Wait till you see what Jim and I brought--" big as the Nora's family eyes grew limousine stopped in the Wright driveway. "Jim, look!" The little house by the big one glistened in the October sunshine. It had been repainted: the fresh white of the clapboard walls, the 1urkey-red of the shutters and "trim," the Christmas green of the newly relandscaped grounds made it look like a delectable gift package. "And just wait, children," beamed Hermy, "till you.

And she dragged her husband off to explore the interior of the Jim H.iJsM grinned at his fathcr-in-Iaw. "Such a small reception committee?" for Mr.

Queen's short tenure, for three frightened years. Mr. Queen had packed an overnight bag the day before the newlywed's return and had taken the noon train. Pat said it showed he had "a fine character." "Whatever reason, Ellery returned the day after draft registration, to find bustle and laughter in the could hear his portable clacking away until immoral hours.

Nora wanted Mr. "Smith" to stay for lunch. But Ellery said he'd take advantage of that invitation when Nora and Jim werer't so busy getting settled; and he left, hs last thing "the famous author" saw was Jim and Nora each other's arms.

Mr. Queen grinned. If the bride's house hid a cal.imity within its walls, it was hidden superlatively well. Ellery attacked his novel with energy.

The old ladies who used to long for spring- so could get out, and pick a mess of greens to get the scruff off their hands could teach us a lot about vitamins. Human Barometer One of the persistent rumours of the country side is about the human barometer who can tell when it's going to lain by the way his sciatica starts to net up, For years the doctors have been laughing at the absurdities of this belief, bub now it's gotten into the text books. In fact on this idea depends some of the principal tests for our old friend 1 f-euitica.

Sciatica was so named because it is pain in the region and distribution of one of the nerves. The sciatic nerves arise from the spinal cord and from between the last two of the vertebrae. They go down the back of the leg and are mostly sensory rather than motor, which means they convey sensations of pain and touch and temperature Sciatica has always been known as a pesky disease. It a long time and comes and goo.s and there hns been to now very little you could do for it. The patients are not neurotics and every doctor who ever treated one has had a feeling that the cause was some irri- chalk appeared on As evening came on, in colored pavements.
