"Is thaf som-eone Dr. -Si-ttie knows wiil be married ta the melodyl?" '-No, no, no," replied Webber, who was sifting next ta Thaîben- Beill. "Youing is the mani wbo's payîng for the shiow,." "No matter," said Theiben-Bal. "Ift was the best work wve got. It's quite good-a fine recîtal piece." "I like its pageantry, its cere- mmaia imagery," said Webber. "ITt's ratlier rousing-gutaraniteed ta get the desired result from even the most somnolent uie." "It's a jol1y good tune," ex- claimed Youngi,.

Dr. Adrien Kentrowýif.z, attend- ing surgeon, approached the con- trais of tbe amplfiers, paused a moment, and said quietiy ta Berg; "Get ready, youi're going ta stand up naow." The patient grasped a bar over bis bhead, provided ta gie hirmbalance, Dr. Kantrowitz furnied fie knobs, sending eiecf- ric impulses firougi the wires to the muscles. Red Berg stood up. He wes fie first parapiegic in hisfony ta stand fhrougb ectivity of bis own muscles. "If was kinda funny," fie red- bearded parapiegie says now. "It wes a wveird' feeling standing there and not feeling the ground below me, I didn'f feel any sensa- tion in mny legs at ail. At first 1 was really frigbtened beceuse 1 didnà'f fbink fie electricity could iold me up. But it did."

Rere's one for- the record. On Suinday mnorning, October 15, we saw snow for the first time this season. It was veýry fine, neyer- theless it was snow. And that after a record bigb of 80 degrees earlier in thie week. But we stili haven't had aý killing frost. Last niight we tbought there wAould be one and at two o'clock in the marning 1 remembered a very -special beg-onia -,as stili out. So 1 got out of my niée warmn bed, îwent outside and broughft the plant in, It was aîreadyý potted but It is such a huge plant we wanted to leave it outside to the last minute. I don't, think 1 ever saw such a h-uge begonia - great, big leaves and stemis -- and it aIl grew from-r one small slip I planted last s-pring. Weli, I suppose everyýbody bas been in a mad rush just recent- ly. Doeýsn't matter bow long the good weatber lasts there are al- ways lest minute chores tO do when the weather changes. We_ have res;cued wihat ,w:s left in 'ti gaý ' - flowers, bulbs and vegetab , Everything except the gera ums. One of the plant- ers is even nw a mass of red, geraniumns still bloomi-ing as if it w-ere the middle of sumimer. The plants have grown. so big 1 can't possiblyhndetbem ini the bouse.
