You can't put your finger on

can touch security, see
integrity, taste dependability.
You simply know it's there.
You admire it in others . . .
guard it when it's your own.
We, at Don Handlin Agency,
have nutured these qualities
for more than 30 years. The
proof that they have grown is
unmistakable. They are yours

Although she wanted to be a
writer, she could not, at the
moment, face the solitude a
professional writer’s career
demanded. So she spent her
days as a secretary to Tom
Logan, president of Wild Blue
Industries, a close family
friend who had helped her
adjust to a life alone after her
parents died in a car accident.
In her lovely home in Grand
Haven, Michigan, among her
mother’s prized collection of
antique dolls, Jamie was
trying to rebuild her strength,
but she was tired and the
severe winter had been hard
on her. Her lovely home in
Naples, Florida, drew Jamie
like a magnet . . . but little
did she know that while she
was there she would leam the
secret of the Satin Doll, her
favorite, nor did she guess
that the doll would be stolen
from her home. At the start
of her Florida vacation, Jamie
had no idea that she would
soon discover the direction
her life was to take — toward
love.

BOOK OF BIKES AND
BICYCLING by Dick Teresi
Here in one book is
everything the cycling
enthusiast could want,
whether he is a novice or an
old hand at cross-country
touring. In a clear, relaxed
style, salted with bits of
humor, the author explains
the various types of bikes
available (we’ll bet you’ve
never even heard of some of
them); how to choose the
best type for you; how to
find a good bike of that
particular type; and how you
can save money when you
purchase it. But that’s just
the beginning. A major
section of the book is
devoted to touring, with
scads of down-to-earth
touring tips gleaned from
scores of cross-country
travelers; how to find the best
take-along gear for camping;
how to obtain special maps
for cyclists, and how to read
them.
