Stomach has Puffed out like a Souffle
August 15
My God, I have a PAIN!
It woke me in the night. It’s in the very middle of my stomach and it’s a pain of amazing proportions. It hurts worse tonight, and with it has arrived the most surprising development. The W.P.B. sheet reports (in inches):
| Measurements: | Waist: | Stomach: | Hips: | Bust: |
| August 6 | 25″ | 27″ | 35¾” | 32″ |
| August 13 | 25″ | 27″ | 35¾” | 32″ |
| August 13 | 25″ | 32″ (!) | 35¾” | 32″ |
My stomach has puffed out like a souffle, Five inches in two days!
The books don’t say anything about this. It feels like a gas pain-colic, maybe, under other circumstances-but considering the dates, I’m scared!
Also shielded stomach, casual-like, with the new Vogue when talking to Lucretia. As for my mother, if this keeps up that problem is solved.

This is a real old-fashioned green-apple stomachache and, brother, it aches. So back to the library for more books, wearing aeoat despite the blistering heat, but could find nothing that makes any mention of a stomach as de trap as this in less than eight weeks. Well, it’s no use trying to blink this issue-I’ve got to go to the doctor.
