The Exeter Advocate, 1923-4-5, Page 6• r PART IL "But you're not really sick/' Amie declared. "Dr, Karol says I are." He beck- oned her toward the table, but she refused, staring at Agnes Wells with speeulative hostility. `It's the silliest likely to do the most reckless thing he knows." The next day he suffered a sharp reaction to his mood of resignation toward the physician's advice. He wasn't going to be treated like a child, he decided.

WHAT'S INA CAN OF FRUIT? The canning season is always an enjoyable time to me. But this en- joyment njoyment extends until the cans are all emptied. With the opening of each, can there come pleasant memories and humorous occasions that make the contents doubly enjoyable to all. For instance, when I open a can of black cherries, I see _ my husband dangling from the limb of a cherry tree when a sudden gust of wind blew his ladder over. I also see a wet and bedraggled creature whom he calls wife descending from a nearby tree and rushing to his rescue, while it rains and stops our picking for that day. From my cans of black raspberries I' get a picture of myself, ill, and the. kindest auntie in the world going several miles to stand in the hot sun and pick them for me. My blackberries bring a picture of the -big cool woods and singing birds on that hot July day that my mother and I picked them. The white cherries bring a picture of hubby and I sitting up, until eleven o'clock to get them looked over and canned, because they spoil so easily after leaving the tree. The strawberries show a beautiful dewy,„ fragrant June morning with my two boys :'and I on our knees gather-' ing the beauties: Each variety brings its picture and memories, but the best of all, I .think,;," is the one I get from° the peaches.
