4 Serial Of Everyday Affair
Their Married Life
Helen Goes to a Card Party Singing and Meets Friend
Who Dampens Her Ardor.

: would have realized that ones feelings
were apt to run to extremes.
Heights of happiness are often sue
ceeded by depths OF misery, the degree
determined by the character of the
individual and the power to suffer or
be happy. Helen was not capable Of
blending happiness as perhaps was
Frances Knowles. but she was simply
lght-hearted and glad Of being alive
without stopping to reason why.
At the door Of Louises apartment an
appetzing smell of fried chicken as
sailed her nostrils, and she shifted
hungrily as Louise hurried out to meet
her.
One Objectionable Person.
Hungry, dear? That's good; Wen
go in directly, just waiting for one
more. Come in here and take your
things off I think you'll have an aw-
fully good time. There are just people
like you here, with one exception and
Louise made a grimace.
Who is that?' said Helen uncon-
cernedly, running a comb through her
hair before the ivory dressing table.
Mrs. Davenport"
Louise, no." said Helen, incredu-
lousy.
Yes, I knew you'd hate it."
That woman follows me like an
avenging Nemesis said Helen, still
laughing; "but do tell me how you
happened to invite her"
We'll, Bob insisted; he said that for
business reasons he would like me to
be nice to Mrs. Davenport"
she will keep US all entertained
with the doings Of Charleston society
said Helen.
81 know it: she never seems to real
that her conversation is boring" And
Louise laughed. Never mind. Helen;
l have placed you between Mrs. Stevens
and Mrs. Dennis. GU like both of
them, don't yOu?'
1T wouldn't make any difference,
anyway, dear; am in the best Of
humors today"
''You look it, There's the bell. It
must be Mrs. Davenport. Go right in
when you're ready, dear, and I'll take
her into the guest room"
Helen finished prinking and went
out into the living room. where she
was greeted cheerfully by every one.
As Louise had said, all the people pres
sent were women Helen and Louise
knew and liked. They were intimate
with some of the same people, and in
any case Helen liked all of Louise's
friends.
This was natural because Helen had
liked Louise from the first moment they
had met and she had helped her to
better understanding of Bob's charac-
ter. Helen had never seen any man
change as Bob had done since mar
riage. Where she had expected many
Of Warren's traits to crop out 10 his
character Bob had pleasantly disap-
pointed her, and under Louises influ-
ence had developed into man of char
acter. Temper he had. but he never
vented it unfairly on Louise. who
adOred him.
Louise entered a few minutes later
with Mrs. Davenport. who immedi-
ately crossed over to Helen.
Mrs. Davenport Annoyed.
How are you, my dear Mrs. Curtis

Not so long" said Helen, sweetly,

Helen's manner of answering the
naughty Southern lady did not deceive
her in the least. and Louise noticed a

CURL PAPERS have their uses, mis-
uses and abuses. AS far as keep
ing the hair in curl is concerned,
they are much better than a hot
iron. This takes the oil from the
hair, eventually cracking the ends,
and dimming the natural lustre of
the locks. The curl paper curl is
fiufier and more natural looking
and hence more becoming.
MisuseS? Even curl papers are
harmful If the hair is tied up too
tight in them, and kept tied hour
after hour. The pressure and the
lack of air-for hair needs breath
as we'll as plants and people-will
keep the new hairs from forming.
since all the strength will go to re-
nOurish the abused follicles.
Abuses-these are more or less
psychological. II you are accus-
toned to seeing yourself sur
rounded by halo Of tight little
paper wads, you ara not apt to
think yourself any the neater or
prettier. II others see you going
about this way, they certainly will
not praise your beauty. For curl
papers are not becoming, whatever
else they may be.
Besides, they are a vicious habit.
IL you really must curl your hair
and there are so many ways of ar
ranging straight hair that it ism t
really necessary once out OF ten
times-you had better use curriers'
than irons. But you can wet the
hair, and sit near heat or in the
sun, to dry it quickly, and soon
have the hair out again and done up
neatly. You can wear the curriers'
at night, when no one sees them.
and take them off first thing in
the morning.
But it is chiefly because of the
careless appearance they give the
woman that curl papers are to be
condemned.

Splendid Dairy Herd

The editor this week had the privi.
lege of visiting the dairy farm of An
drew Littlefield, four miles east of Clio,
where he found splendid herd of 2G
pure bred Holstein-Friesia cattle for
which quarters are provided in the
large dairy barn erected by Mr.. Little
field about year ago. This barn is
fitted with cement floors and managers
and steel stanchions. making it sanitary
in very thorough degree.
Mr.. Littlefield is now milking sixteen
cows. eight of which are registered,
the remainder being grade Holsteins of
the best type. Among the pure bred
cows are number of very fine individ-
uals. one cow having a record of 88 lbs.
of milk per day with others closely APP
proximating, while several of the two
year-old heifers have records of from
so to go lbs. of milk per day. The but
ter record in the herd for two-year olds
ranges from 16 to 2015 lbs. per week.
The sire of most of the young stock
on Mr.. Littlefeld's farm is Maplecrest
Korndyke Hengerveld, owned by d. ID.
Aitken, of Flint. president of the Hol-
stein-Friesian Association of America
This animal is conceded to be of the
best breeding in America, with dams
on both sides in the 80 Id. and better
classes for several generations. This,
of course. goes far to establish the
value of his progeny which is now de-
veloping in Mr.. Lttlefield's herd.
The head of the Littlefield herd is
Burtondale Lieutje Korndyke, splen-
did registered sire, with an ancestry
reaching back into the best milk and
butter producing strains of this famous
breed of dairy cattle. With founda-
tion thus laid in an excellent sire and
several splendid cows, Mr.. Littlefield is
in position where he may reasonably
expect to have in the near future one
of the finest herds of dairy cattle in
this section of the country. We were
informed that none of the cows are for
sale but that several fine young males
would be disposed of in the near fu-

ADAMS-M' GRADY

The wedding of two we'll known and
popular young people, until recently
residents of Clio, took place at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Adams,
in Flint, last Friday evening, when
their daughter, Grace B.. became the
bride of Earl j. McCrady. son of Mr..
and Mrs. John McCrady. The parlors
and dining room of the residence were
handsomely decorated for the occasion
and the ceremony was performed by
Rev. E. G. c. Benson, in the presence of
about twenty guests. Miss Bessie
Mott. was bridesmaid and the groom
was attended by ID. M. Smith. Follow
ing the ceremony a dainty two course
luncheon was served. Both bride and
groom are splendid young people, and
being accomplished musicians, as well,
have been very popular in church and
social circles in Clio. They were the
recipients of many beautiful gifts and
following the wedding went to Rose
City for a short visit with relatives of
the groom. That their future may be
prosperous and happy, will be the earn
est wish of all who know them. We
understand that Mr. and Mrs McCrady
expect to build home in Flint and re-
side there.
