We fight all the time -- about his fam- ily (they all drink constantly) and about money. He spends crazily! He gives me just enough for bills and food; when I need clothes he says go out and buy them, but he doesn't say with what, "He goes where he pleases with men friends (single ones, at that) and leaves me at home. He made me give up all my friends, and won't have anything to do with my family.

It is better to stay lonely than be betrayed as I was! : LEARNED LATE" Newspapers brim with tales of impecunious rascals who defraud trusting women.

There was one little Chinese baby there as cute as a button; and another was alittle darkie. Among them all there was only one'that I would call pretty--and that wasn't our grandson! The hospital-was terribly busy and short of help, which meant that I had to wait 45 minutes past the regular visiting hours before I was allowed on the floor -- no one being permitted to visit even a.private'patient until all the bab- ies were back in the nursery. As I was leaving, four: nurses came down the corridor, obviously coming off duty and they looked absolutely dead-beat, Every time Tam in-hospital==big or small= -I wonder how nurses keep going day in and day out, always on their feet, always at the beck and call of their patients.

His drive and energy soon "earned him a partnership; 'thus, humbly, began the story--graphi- cally told in "Gordon & Gotch; London," a superbly illustrated centenary tribute -- of the firm which today exports over 70 per cent of Britain's newspapers and magazines. 'Although nowadays Messrs. Gordon. & Gotch' trade in many things--'"from pins to steamroll- ers""--the 10,000 tons of news- papers and magazines, shipped Yearly is still their main concern.
