electric car to where she could reach
her hotel and make quick change In
attire and return TO Woodward-ave.

first engagement with the Detroit folk.
Following Is her own story OF her
first experiences in the city OF Detroit:
BY THE BUTTER-NUT BREAD GIRL.
My, but my experience the hrst night
in Detroit was most exhilarating. I
had been well advertised, for every
one seemed to be expecting my arrival

heard considerable about Detroit and
l am more than pleased with the city.
l like IL very much from what have
seen OF II. The business section is we'll
laid out. The city looks progressive
and enterprising. / also noticed that
the people of Detroit are SO sociable
and friendly that ones heart is touch
ed. Ii liz the real, true genuine kind
of consideration which springs from
the heart and not from mere worldly
exterior polish, which endears you all
TO strangers and wins appreciation. In
most cities the atmosphere seems
charged with a cold, worldly selfish
ness which creates the same feeling in
the heart OF the stranger, or else one

which are meaningless because OF the
insincerity OF the tone.
But here In Detroit IL appears to me
that the miserable are rendered almost
happy and the happy mortals like me
are so glad 10 he alive that TO sing and
laugh seems an Inadequate expression
OF appreciation.
