Hoton woman ... lR.w,. diwndo'1212
A Houghton doctor. who thinks il
unethical to have his name appear in
the newspapers unnecessarily has re-
Gently discovered a bad case of home
sickness, or, as IL is sometimes called,
naustalgia, i'm the center of the village
and, although the patient is somewhat
better than she was when he was call
ed TO attend her, he is of the opinion
that she will never be more well UNI
less she goes TO a place where she has
some friends or acquaintances or else
succeeds in melting some of her near
neighbors sufficiently to permit them
TO call upon her.
From the telling of this story by the
doctor to a friend the address OF the
woman in question was ascertained
and a representative of The News call
ed to see her. She was washing the
evening dishes when the self-appointed
Investigator OF HoughtOn hospitality
rang the door bell, so her husband
opened the door for the caller In a
little while the victim of naustalgia
came into the parlor and. after much
urging and being assured that her
name would not appear i'm the paper,
she told the following story.
No Callers in Five Months.
1--WE moved TO Houghton nearly five
months ago and took up our home in
this house at once The first week or
80 | was busy with the settling and
did not notice that l was lonesome or
that anything was out of the ordinary.
At the end Of the second week l had
gotten my house in good order and
was really living and enjoying life af-
ter the strenuous times of getting un-
packed and settled down.
up TO this time | had been some
what afraid that some of my new
neighbors would call upon me before
had things in order and so I was con-
graduating myself on what l at that
time thought was their great thought
fplness and consideration. have
since learned that l had little reason
TO be alarmed for not one soul has
been here TO call up to this time and
the only woman know by sight is the
to ours. l only know her from seeing
her in the yard when we each hap
pened 90 be out in the yard at the
same time.
By this time the woman had become
warmed TO her subject and she con-
tinued, This woman appears to be
very pleasant and thoroughly respect

Houghton "chillest" Place.
Il have lived in several places. espe-
cially in the east, and was in PhiIa-
delphia before coming here. but

so chilly as in this town. My hus-
