" Why, Ethel, what are you doing with that big medical work in your lap ?" "Well, Arabella, you'd never guess, lam quite sure." ' rt You are not going to make a doctor or yourself, are you ?" "Not at all. I am trying to find out which of my two suitors I love enough to marry. What do you. think of that ?" "How can a cyclopaedia of medicine help you ? " "Well, it's this way. Mr Oldspoon is fifty-seven years of age. Ho is worth £80,000, and has consumption. Mr Dukkats is sixty-five years old. He is worth £100,000, and has heart disease. I thought, perhaps, this medical book would help me to make up my mind. I have about decided that I love Mr Dukkats the better. Whioh would you love ?
