CITIZENS TELEPHONE
COMPANY GAVE SERVICE

One of the features of the visit of
the Grand Rapids wholesalers to Beld-
ing recently was the telephone ser
vice given by the Citizens Telephone
company to the members of the party:
A telephone line was strung to the
depot where ii was connected with
a telephone on the north wall of the
station. AS soon as the special train
arrived at the station the local tele-
phone central made direct connec-
ton from the telephone over the best
private line to Grand Rapids. The
line was held open for the benefit of
the members of the wholesalers
party during the entire stay here.
The calls were numerous. Many of
the men called their offices or stores
at Grand Rapids TO give orders and
talk over conditions. The service was
ideal all of the time, and the men
were hearty in expressing their APP
probation to the local management.
c. E. Tarte, of Grand Rapids.
general manager of the Citizens Tele-
phone company, was with the party
of wholesalers and while here took
occasion to look into the class OF SER
vice given by the local company and
offer suggestions for the improvement
of the service.

Seeking a Husband o
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.

n UNDAY mornings am always
late. This particular Sunday
~ morning everything that could
possibly happen to make me late put
in an appearance, so that 1 finally ar
rived at church in regular furry.
l have habit of slipping over on to
cool spot between the sheets and
stretching until the yawns are all gone.
This takes quite a while, If l happen to
wake up rather late. And then I never
can hurry when l am told to- I'm sure
TO tear a button off my glove or forget
my collection money.
Well how was I to know that this
Sunday morning was to be different
from all others? Everything started the
same way, and 1t wasn't until / was
seated in the pew, a little breathless,
but otherwise quite all right, that l real
lied that church promised to be rather
interesting. We had new tenor. Not
the short. rather commonplace little
man who had hitherto wandered up and
down the scale, at times lowering dan
gerously near that long coveted high c.
but very tall, very blond. very good
looking young giant VINO, enVeloped IN
his choir robe, sat looking with rath-
er bored expression around the congre-
cation
No wonder I was Interested; so were
several others. The soprano seemed
anxious to keep the glances of the new
acquisition for herself. even the alto
was wreathed in smiles, and as for the
bass, who is a particular friend of ours,
he certainly did wink at me when we
stood up to sing the first hymn.
Church certainly seemed shorter than
usual. AT intervals l caught glimpses
of pair of very blue eyes cast in my
direction from between the folds of the
choir curtain. and after the service |
had to admit that l really was terribly
anxious to meet the stranger Now, If
Graham were only disposed to under
stand and would bring him down. AS

II was as though our Blessed Lady

and lightness that / had never known
since my time at the Sacred Heart
1t was a beautiful day, with all
the freshness and fragrance OF early
morning IN summer when the white
stone houses of Paris seem to blush

"a little company of young girls re-

How sweet they looked. In their
