No exception to this rule They say there are days when it doesn't pay you to get out of bed. Well, last Friday, when my rent was due, was just such a day for my landlady, Mrs. Davis.

I brought the subject up as soon as we had started to eat breakfast. I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Davis, but I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. It's about the rent. You mean last month's rent? You haven't got it yet.

while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay. Our Miss Brooke, starring Eve Arden, is produced by Larry Burns, directed by Al Louis with music by Wilbur Hatch.
