FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
1O3-YEAR-OLD MAN

Funeral services for William j. Har-
ris, probably the oldest resident of
Cecil county, were held from Hart's
M. E. Church last week, with inter-
ment in the adjoining cemetery. Mr..
Harris was born in Pennsylvania, in
1885, and would have celebrated his
1O3rd birthday if he had lived until
Nav. In 1861, he moved to Elk Neck
where the balance of his life was
spent. Practically all of his mature
life was spent in farming. For the
past five years he had been blind.
Three sons and four daughters sur
vive him-John Fletcher Harris, North
East: jefferson Harris, of Elk Neck;
Benjamin Harris, Wilmington, Del;
Mrs. Frances Barnoski, of Marshall
ton, Del; Miss Lavina Harris at
home; Mrs. Lewis Brown of Rising
Sun; Miss Harriet Harris, at home.
He is also survived by 18 grandchil-
dren and six great-grandchildren.

wasn't she herself responsible for the
others love disappointment, since, had
she not come into the store to work,
Gordon Gavin might have turned to
Renita in the end?
eff only 1 could do something to
set matters right"
Was there any solution?
At the closing of the store, Ann
telephoned Rentals apartment.
Renita was weeping.
"What's the matter, Renita ?"
"I'Im sick in bed"
"Is there anything you'd like me to
bring you?" Compassion got the bet
ter of AIMS saner judgment.
"A bottle of Scotch-or no-hold
on-a bottle of poison! Pm not go
ing on with things! I'm finished"
"What do you mean?"
"That I'm going to kill myself. You
needn't bother bringing the poison,
for I've powders right here with me. "
There was the sound of a fall-and
then a buzzing on the line.
Operator! Get me that number
again. Stuyvesant 9-0O26."
"I can't. I can't get the party. The
receivers off the hook"
Alarmed, Ann left her booth in the
drug store, and took taxi down to
Greenwich Village.
1t was a walk-up apartment. In
answer to her ring Renita herself
opened the door.
Her mood had changed. Renita was
brighter. She even seemed rather
pleased at seeing Ann, and asked her
to come in, apologizing for having
frightened her on the telephone.
"Renita, you've got to pull yourself
together. If you don't get to the store
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-11-25

by tomorrow morning I'm afraid
you'll lose your job. Please don't
think Pm interfering, but it was
Miss Shellfish who told me, and she's
worried. She says you're so clever at
your work that it's shame to go
under like this"
"You mean that Pm to be-fired 2"
mot if you're back on the job to-
morrow morning. We've plenty OF
time to get you Strengthened out, Re-
nita. Let me get a doctor. He'll
know just what to give you."
"I don't need doctor. IF you'd
run around to the drugstore on the
corner and ask the dispenser-the
blond one-for my pick-me-up. Just
mention my name. It's the only thing
pulls me around in one of my spells. F"
Ann hesitated. Best humor her.
But she was determined she would
find out the nature of the remedy
before taking it to poor Renita. If
it had dope or alcohol in it, she
wouldn't bring it. She'd get some
thing else that would really help her.
The dispenser claimed ignorance of
what was wanted. This confirmed
AIMS suspicion.
She returned to Renita with an old
fashioned remedy. Renita was fur
iously disappointed.
"See here, get out of here! No
body asked you to come here! Scram!'
Remains of yesterdays meal was on
the table. Renita picked up bread
knife.
"You took him from me and now
you come here to mock me, make a
fool of mel! I'll show you your mis-
takew
Before Ann could save herself and
run, Renita rushed at her, and stabbed
her with the bread knife.
The impact of the blow sent Ann
reeling against the wall. A sharp
soaring pain tore at her shoulder.
Wildly, she was conscious of the drink
maddened girl, the knife slipped from
her grasp to the floor, laughing on a

high, hideous key, her face grotesque.
"Thatll teach you to poach on other
peoples preserves! Ha! Ha! That1l
be a swell lesson for you!" Renita
shrieked.
How Ann got out of the apartment
was forever after to be vague in her
mind. Assured that the other would
kill her, she must have gathered her
fast ebbing forces together in q
mighty effort of self-preservation,
and stumbled down the stairs, out to
the revivifying chill of the streets.

Women I'm Love mAy&rsp

nita's exit in the gown, and knowing
it was bespoken by a customer had
been much annoyed.
Borrowings were getting to be much
too frequent. She'll have to put a
stop to it.
Twenty minutes later, the custom
er came back to see the dress, saying
it would need couple of alterations.
Gam, for the love of Pete, dash
over to the Golden Eagle and get hold
of Renita. Tell her to come right
back with that gown she's borrowed
it was to be kept for customer,
and she's here, waiting for it. The
gown should never have gone back to
the stockroom. It's too bad!"
The Golden Eagle was close by.
1t was a popular eating place of the
executives. AS Ann pushed through
the revolving glass doors, she saw
Gordon Gavin in prominent spot in
the center of the restaurant, sitting
alone.
Gordon, have you seen Renita ?
I've message for her. It's impor-
tant."
He flushed. Ann, of all people?
The bride of a few days?
Rentals just gone to the cloak
room to powder her nose."
"You mean she's with you?"
Certainly she's lunching with me.
Why shouldn't she? Any objection?"
"Of course not"
He didn't ask her to sit down. He
was staring at her, strange look on
his face.
The marriage announcement? He
had seen it? That explained things.
Better enlighten him and kill the nom
sensical story at once.
"You know my sister Bernice has
just married Freddie Brandon? By
an error, my name appeared in one
edition of a paper as the bride. It
was corrected in this mornings edi-
ton. Such silly mix-up-" Ann
said lightly.
His face changed.
"Then you're"
"Single, heartwhole, and fancy
free!"
"Did you come here to meet Brad
ley? Was that it?"
he followed the direction of his
gaze and saw the merchandise man.
ager enter the restaurant.
eff he sees those cocktails on the
table, Renita and you will get into
trouble, Gordon"
"Don't get excited. If you aren't
meeting His Observation-Disclosures,
won't you sit DOWN."
She did so. She signalled a waiter.
"Quick, remove the drinks from the
table"
But it was too late. Paul Bradley
was looking directly at them, saw the
drinks.
Renita did not appear at the store
the next day, or the following one.
"She's sick. Someone ought to be
looking after her. I think she has
the flu or something" one of the
salesgirls told Ann.
Drinks what's the matter with
Renita," said Miss Shellfish, eff she
doesn't show up tomorrow morning,
orders have come from higher up that
she's to be fired"
The buyer of Misses Dresses and
Ann were alone at the moment.
maybe if I went down and had a
talk with her, I could straighten her
out a little," Ann volunteered.
"Kind of you, dear, but I guess
you'd get an unpleasant reception.
Renita can be mighty nasty when
she's drinking. It's sad case because
she's right smart, normally, but now
she's all shot to pieces"

to pictures and a story and the
real clamor began.
When this is completed the hair
is pushed into place very much as
an operator does in an ordinary
finger wave. The loose ends are
put up on curriers' or with pins, as
is customary, the net tied on and
the client is ready for the drier.
Because no lotion is used, the dry
ing takes only few minutes. The
coiffure is combed in place. If the
client likes it she will be pleased
because she knows it will be like
that the rest of her life.
Strange as it may seem, the
claim is that by this "Christy
method" artificial waves are first
cut in the hair and as it grows
back these waves move down and
the top comes in with a beautiful
natural wave. The hair grows on
an average of one-half inch a
month and a perfect curl takes
only as long as it takes the hair
to grow completely out.
According to our ChriSty au-
thority you can still have perman-
ent curls put in all the ends of your
hair, and can dress it any way you
like, but as stated, the curlS will
not come in to the natural growth
until the artificial wave has grown
down long enough to bring 1t to the
ends.

Don Bowers, one of the field
representatives for Mr.. Christy. is

said that he worked as hair
dresser in a department store in
Butler, Pa, until three weeks ago,
when he went to Parker'S Land

manent, and was given a chance
to join the Christy staff.
Inquiries have come in from
every foreign country" Mr..
Bowers said. I'VE are placing
operators as fast as we can
train them in every reputable
city in the United States. We
have decided that one operator
to every 10000 inhabitants is
sufficient. We look up the rating
and standing of each applicant
for instruction. We want the

No machinery, no lotions just
the magic of a miracle cut which
in the 10 years since its discovery
at Parker's Landing, Pa. has
been growing in popularity until
now it IS sweeping this country
from one end to the other, to say
nothing Of inquiries coming to
Kenneth ChriSty originator. from
practically every foreign land.
IT COSTS s@so
It has come to Washington in at
least three places We know Of.
The pictures Of the various steps
in the process were made at Louis
Creative HairdreSSer. Louis was
the first (by three days. to come
back with his diploma. Incident
ally it costs $3.50 to learn the
system and to do so takes three
or four days. The first cut costs
the client $40, but after that the
price is normal. You can't have
your hair cut afterward by just
anybody and expect the wave TO
be pretty. It seems a trained
operator must always do the
cutting.
"It's best to have your sham
poo two or three days before the
cut is put in," Louis said. THAT
gives the natural oils a chance
to come back in the hair and
makes it possible to work more
easily. The hair is wet thorough
ly and combed smoothly back
on the head. The operator then
pushes the hair forward into its
natural wave. Once the natural
tendency of the hair is found,
the operator can part the hair
and go to work, shipping in the
infinitesimal grooves which
form the depressionS and the
curves in the way the hair will
lie."
Although it's 10 years since Ken
meth ChriSty Of Parker's Landing,
Pa, CHANGED upon this method,
the real excitement and furore has
started only since his patent was
issued him in February, 1887. Since
that time he has been busy intro
ducing it to new customers in
cities near his home. But it was
when he exhibited at the National
Hairdressers' Association som e

Doctor F'eigin remained un-

that both Donald and Charlotte
were insane, temporarily at least,
when the fatal shot was fired.
Their mental fog, he said, began
on the day, shortly before the
killing, that they agreed on the

Sanity did not return to the lad,
the doctor insisted, until "he first
