Her family and friends drop her in- stantly, and she goes to live with Pat in a little flat near his parents’ home. Pat has invented a new kind of | piston-ring and he and his friend, |Roy Jetterson, rent a tiny shop where they intend to make it and put it on the market. Pat worke three or four nights a week, and Lily, learning to do the housework that she despises, finds life very dull. However, she still is in love | with Pat and s very jealous of his | former sweetheart, Elizabeth Ertz. | One day Lily meets her friend, | Sue Cain, downtowp and asks her {to a party.

Today there are hundreds of com- petent surgeona in the United States who devote all of their time to the care of the crippled. Dr. Robert B.
