Helen Finds Mrs. Merwin Frustrated
By Being Asked to Leave the Hotel

As Helen packed the French gowns
and hand embroidered lingerie she
could not help but wonder at the
Merwins' extravaganza 1t was plain
that when they he'd money they
spent it.
His clothes were as expensive as
hers. All his underwear and hosiery
were of silk. and his shirts all Gus
tom made. Everything bore the mark
of an exclusive Fifth avenue or Re-
gent street haberdasher.
Helen was anxious to leave before
he came She was afraid 1t would be
both awkward and embarrassing for him
to find her there. For every man re-
sents his wife making a confidante of
another woman
Now, I'm sure everything will be all
right" reassuringly. And when Mr.
Merwin does get on his feet again-if
you'd only persuade him to put some
thing aside"
"Oh, ] know know we ought to
save, but we never do" bitterly. But
it's never been so bad as this before. 1t
may be a lesson. l can't believe that
he'll ever subject me to such humilia-
ton again"
I'm sure he won't" co1nfortipgly.

ELWELL BANK.

The little k6wn OF Elwell has a
Bank that is worthy the confidence
of the entire community. The Bank
was established a year ago November
21st, by Messrs. Slocum, Ealey and
Hudson of the Bank of Middleton,
who have also a Bank at Butternut,
maintaining all three with re-
sponsibility of $10O,00000.
The Bank of Elwell was opened at
the written request of over one hun
dred people living in the vicinity of
Elwell who believed that the estab-
lishment of a Bank was the most nee
essary movement toward the develop
ment of their town.
Mr.. G.. H. Slocum is we'll known as
the founder and for II years the Su-
preme Secretary of the Order bf
Cleaners, with headquarters at De-
troit.
Mr. J. NJ. Ealey is best and longest
known at Caro-, Mich, where he has
been cashier of the State Savings
Bank twenty-five years. He is one
of the strong men financially of the
Thumb district.
Mr.. John R. Hudson has been cash
ier OF the Bank of Middleton four
years, He brought to this bank in
addition to a reputation for probity
and honor, twelve years of practical
experience in real estate, bonds and
mortgages and financial matters gen.
orally
Mr.. Paul c. Collster the present
cashier came from Laingsburg, and
has been for five years District Over
seer of the Cleaners looking after
the interests of the Order over the
entire state. One of the most genial
of men, he is always ready to extend
every courtesy consistent with sound
banking
The Bank building is equipped with
every modern facility for the safety
and comfort of its patrons. This in
cludes an up-to-date fre-proof vault
of two compartments separated by a
nickel plated grill with sliding gate.
The valut has a separate entrance to
the safety deposit vault for use of
customers only.
The large burglar-proof safe with
double time lock and two compart-
ments affords ample capacity for
funds and valuables.
The Bank carries burglar, fire and
hold-up insurance with every precau-
tion to protect the depositor, the Gus
toner and themselves. Every officer
of the firm is bonded in a Fidelity
company. The business of the Bank
since its establishment has grown
