There was something about little Clara ant, who lived on a farm near ford, lichigan, that attracted Henry. And that at- traction grew randy, and three vears later, the Bryant girl became Mrs. Henry Ford. destined to be the wife of the world's richest man. and herself probably the world’s richest woman. Thirty-nine years ago at a barn dance near Dearborn, Mich” Ford, then a tall, thin, gangling outh, espied a small, pretty 'rl wi ex- pressive blue eyes a long chest- nut-colored hair. He obtained an introduction. They sat out “two square dances” to talk about his hobbyâ€"watch-making. She was sympathetic. He showed her a queer watch he had made. It had two sets of hands. recording both standard time and sun time. She was en- thusiastic, forgetting entire] about the two dances. She fired iis am- bitions. She had faith in him, he knew. And he fell in love with her there and then. Ever since she has had faith in him. I knew only a few minutes after talking to her that she was the one for me.‘ Ford said recently. "I was sure f1 0m the start. And its always heon that wax with me since. She had faith. She was the believer. I no u r had a word of discouragement from her.“ v --- But "M”rs Ford didnt fall in love with Henry right 011‘ the bat. It was nearly a year later. "He impressed me. very much as he didn't talk about the useless things which young men usually talk about.” she says in telling or their courtship. "But I didn’t fall in love with him until a year later. We waited two more years before marrying. I have always waited on him and still «lo. He‘s a careless nirm. Ho’s a clean man. but he’s «tam-loss. Ho‘ll drop his collar and his clothos about zinywhoro. and I ham- to go picking up aftm' him. I don’t say anything about it. I don’t swolcl hm'auso I know his mind is full of higgm‘ things. and he's not conscious of what ho is doing; ‘ She warns wives against. a “greed for clmmlinpss.” declaring such an attitude carrind t0 nxlremos will drive husbands out to the friendly club. whorn he can drop aslips where he will. The greatest hours of their ro- mantic lives were the last. forty- eight. hours that her husband worked on his first. automobile which was to carry them to fame and fortune. Forty-eight hours without. sleep. The. second night, Mrs. Ford sat up until 2 a.m.. when the little car was finished and ready for a trial. It was raining. and Mrs. Ford threw a cloak over her shoul- tlel's and followed Henry to the small shop near the house. Ford rolled the ear out. into the alley and Stan-incl. H mm only a short diétance. But. it. ran! One of the foothills of tho- muuntain had boon topped. Rut thorn wort) other hills to l'limh. \\'hon Ford drove his Odd- lnoking oontrivanco. horses balked, drivom sworn. Jem‘ing crowds ga- thm'ml. 'I‘ho populaco callorl him "crazy" and “half-rrackod." But. through it all. Mrs. Ford stood by himâ€"«urging him on wtih hor ('on- fldenco. Rho wa< about “w only W‘rson who had tho “none" to en- (llll'o tho hoots of the crowd and ride through Detroit streets with him in his “homeless carriage.” Home-loving and thoroughly un- pretentious is this tremendously rich woman. She. cares nothing for jewels. In dresses. the shades she. likes are brown and blue. Mink and sable are her favorite furs; Mrs. Ford believes that. good cooking is the biggest part. of a wo- man’s job. That’s her forte. In- deed. she refused to have any ser- vants around her house until a few years ago. She’s proudest of her apple pie. She calls it “bird’s nest pie.” _‘ ._- Runaway marriages will be im- possible in New York State in the future if the proposed changes in‘ the marriage laws. which are to be‘ considered at this session of the Leg- i islature go through. The State Child Welfare Commission is sponsoring the bill. No longer will a romantic pair be able to step into the munici- pal building. obtain a license on one floor and trip blithely to the mar- riage chapel. one flight down and have City Clerk Cruise or his deputy wish them godspeed and present them with a certificate all in the time it takes to get afternoon tea. Five days must elapse from the time of the. issuance of the license to the performance of the ceremony. The intervening time is to be ltSPfhby the authorities for investigation. The object of the law is to make brides and grooms look before. they leap. and to lessen the possibility of bigamy. Thu-nay, funny 1, 1’8.

These are honest errors. Their roots are not sunk in gross- ness. either of mind or body.

One way to detect the vulgarian is to obsené how he or she will trans- form your most inpocenl. romarlg inâ€" to a suggestion of something ques- tionable. The ability to perform this dis- agreeable feat with some slight de- gree of subtlety seems to be a fetich with the vulgay. Honesty is often helpless against such attacks. . «It can only writhe and detest the efl'ort. When we are honest with our- selves and with the world, we need have no fear of “being out of place.” The world is quick to forgive the mistakes of honesty. Vulgarity it never forgives.

'2 iiun AT mm In the Roman Catholic Church at Los Pinas. a. small town five miles from Manilla in the Phillippines. is to be found a wonderful old bamboo organ. This quaint instrument was constructed early in the nineteenth century. The bambooof which it is constructed was buried in the sand for two years or more to season it before using. The organ is still in good condition after a century of use, and is used every week in his services by the Belgian priest in charge. Every part of the instru- ment is made of bamboo. and some very ingenious devices were includ- ed by its builder. While making this larger organ. the old Spaniard built a tiny model, a perfect copy of the big instrument. This he sent to the Queen of Spain, who, in ap- ipreciation of this unique present. sent a number of valuable gifts to theChurch. Some of these still re- main, and are almost as much treas- ured as the organ itself. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK That Hard Times means nothing to a hen?
