A straight needle just wouldn't sew around the edges of the arms and sides of the chair. While she was in the midst of her job, a friend of the family's, an ex-army pilot, paid her a visit. She was telling him her troubles and said she'd give anything for a curved needle like the upholsterers use. The soldier left and was back in a jiffy.

Lottery Lore

MEXICO CITY, Dec. nothing so much as a lottery. Everybody plays. thie results are spotty. In some places you find half a dozen people who have won from $2000 to $6000 and think nothing of it. In others, all you hear is the wails of people who have been buying tickets for years without ever coming close to a prize. There are thousands of stories of dreams, hunches, and near-misses, One of the top guaranteed-true. tales is of a certain Cuban with a large family who hag been buying the same number in the Mexican lottery for the many years he lived in the country. He won nothing. Sometime after he had returned to Cuba, he heard that the Mexican government was sponsoring a special huge 1,000000-peso drawing. He knew he must get his ticket. This time, he felt sure, he was boung to win,
