GUY MADISON:

T'S A good thing that these two, Guy and Sheila Madison, like surprises, since that is what they have had practically nothing else but since the day of their marriage nearly two years ago.
"We like it this way," Guy remarks, contentedly. "I hope we will never be 'used to each other' so that the sense of discovery will leave us. I hope we will never be 'used to life ^together' so that we lose the feeling of adventure when we jjget up in the morning.

What if Guy fed baby Bridget wheat flour instead of Pablum and Sheila called a vet instead of the doctor? It's all wonderful!
LOVE BIRDS pause outside their hilltop home. The Madisons are expecting a brother or sister for Bridget almost any moment now.
