MISS JULIA DELIVERS THE GOODS

MISS JULIA DELIVERS THE GOODS — When Hazel Marie comes down with vague, but suspicious, symptoms and takes to her bed, Miss Julia immediately considers Hazel Marie's age and makes a diagnosis of female problems. And, my goodness, does she ever have them! Not only is Hazel Marie sick, but Mr. Pickens has moved away and Hazel Marie says she never wants to see him again. Miss Julia, however, is convinced that Mr. Pickens is the only one who can solve all their problems, especially the female kind.

And when Sam's house is burglarized and important papers are stolen, Julia sees it as the perfect excuse to put Mr. Pickens on that case, as well as on Hazel Marie's. But those two don't seem to want anything to do with each other, so it's up to Julia to heal the breach. As she accompanies Mr. Pickens to interview likely suspects, she–not entirely subtly–prods him to do the right thing. Since, however, Mr. Pickens is too focused on solving Sam's problem to pick up on Miss Julia's hints, it's finally up to Lillian to lay it on the line.(Viking)
