~But in the meantime, -all was not quiet on the Kelly Bt. front. Loule Jr. thought the mosquitoes were awfully bad this year. “Daddy can you see mosquitoes?” he wanted to know. Louie took a look at his ‘bites.’ ‘‘Those aren't mosquito bites,” his Daddy discovered. “You've got chicken pox!”
Kevin Breaks Out
LOUIE JR. was very much astonished. Almost like the time he read that Roy Roger'’s horse Trigger had fatheréd a colt. “And.” said Louie Jr, “I didn't even know he was married.” Three days after Louie Jr, broke out, Kevin began having a few spots which would have gone unnoticed if it hadn't been for the almost hourly inspections, Kevin's spots never did get much worse, “He's too tough to get a bad case” said Grandpa Cantwell, who has been accused (falsely, of course) of being partial to Kevin, -

Mike Develops Healthy Appetite
Since the rest of the method worked so well, I think my after pains may have been due to the long false labor I had and to the uterine #rritability I experienced dur.ing the last two months of pregnancy. But one of the most wonderful aspects of all—I haven't had the slightest inclination to the maternity weeps. Most new mothers

Understands Women
DOCTOR D. keepf his patients in bed for eight or nine days. His theory is that a woman, who has nine months of pregnancy in her. immediate past and quite a few two a. m. feedings in her immediate future, needs a rest, And he says, “If you sit a woman in a chair, she'll see a picture that is crooked or a4 piece of lint on the rug and before long she'll be do--ofnge--the family. wash,” I don’t know if this is good obstetrics, but it certainly shows a wonderful understanding - of women, which must be the basis for good obstetrics. - 2 I felt as though I could be up out of bed with no bad effects, But since he was willing to admit that I wasn't iil, I was satisfied to remain in bed and catch up on my sleep and reading.
Finishes Book I FINISHED “Times .at Bat,” a book about the great men of baseball. I'm not a sports enthusiast. Reading the book was merely an attempt to fit myself into my environment, I live in a house with seven maies and a television set. (My father and brother, Edward and Paul Cantwell, live with us.) Early in June, I was handed a schedule for the Indianapolis Indians with instructions to please have my baby while the Indians were on the road. ’ : Doctor D. didn't want me to bring the baby home while the boys still had chicken pox. So Ella Baker, our next door neighbor said Mike and I could stay with her until the danger of contagion was passed, Ella, and her husband Bob, moved next door when Eddie Mac was a baby. Bob joined the police force and was assigned to the motorcycle division. He was killed by a hit and run driver in October, 1948.

Ella's house is as good as a plece of candy in the pocket, and an honor to be fought over. The night before Mike and I left the hospital terrible thought struck me. It is characteristic of a baby with the colic to be a good eater, I had never had a colic baby, but neither had I had a good eater, It was with considerable misgivings that I left the hospital for Ella's. A baby with the colic strains parental love—what would it do to friendship? ; “Please Dear God,” I prayed, “don't let him have the © colle.”
