Only a slight inflammation of one eyelid, which some one suggested might have been a bit of Chicago dust, and a small defect in the alignment of her pearly-white teeth kept Marian from eat lots of vegetables and drink at least & quart of a day. No tea or cof- fee are consumed by either, and they don’t smoke. Marian wel 138 and stands 5 feet 4 inches. William's weight is 151 and his height 5 fect 6% inches.
