Up until last week, Chester A. Riley was a relatively happy and contented man. All he had to worry about was his wife, Pegg, his daughter, Babes, and her boyfriends, his son, Jr. and his girlfriend, the high cost of living, his job, and last month's rent.

But last week Riley assumed an added burden in the form of his sister, Cecilia, age, secret. Unmarried were arrived at the Riley house with one steamer trunk, two suitcases, a canary, and a problem. The problem is now being discussed in the Riley kitchen.

Well, I know it's terrible Riley, but ever- I tell you, Peg, when I think of it, it makes my blood curl. Nothing you can do about it now. I can't help it. When I think of that, no good skunk engaged for 12 years and the day before the wedding be jilted.

Desserts, sir, didn't have the decency to wait till after the wedding. For as I had no aunt kissy was jolted. Now, badly there, I really don't think this is any of your affair. Haven't you got some study in the beginning?

No, no, no, let her hear. She can learn a lesson from this that might help her when she gets jolted someday. You see, beds, after going with Aunt Sissy's study for 12 years, this guy lying over she's engaged to, runs away and joins the Navy.
