IE HAD FAITH"'
SAYS AAASITE i
DF HIS WIFE
DETROIT, Mich.—lt was “lov# at
first sight" for Henry Ford!
There was something about little
Clara Bryant, who lived on a farm
near Uedford, Mich, that attrdacted
Henry.
And that attraction grew rapidly,
and three years later the Bryant
girl became Mrs. Henry Ford, des
tined to bo the wife of one of the
world’s richest men, and herselfi
probably the worlds richest wo-1
man.
Thirty-nine years ago at a barn
dance near Dearborn, Mich., Ford,
then a tall, thin, gangling youth,
espied a small pretty girl with ex
pressive blue eyes and long chest
nut-colored hair.
He obtained an Introduction.
They sat out two "square dances"
to talk about his hobby—watch
making.. She was sympathetic. He
showed her a queer watch ha had
made. It had two seta of hands,
recording both standard time and
sun time.
Firad His Ambitions.
She was enthusiastic, forgetting
entirely about tha two dances. She
fired his ambitions. She had faith
In him, he knew. And ha fall In
love with her there and then. Ever
since she has had ftUth 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 from the start. And It's
always been that way with me
since. She had faith. She was the
believer. I never had a word of
discouragement from her."
But Mrs. Ford didn't fall In love
with Henry right off the bat. It
was nearly a year later,
"He Impressed me very much aa
he didn't talk about the useless
things which young men usually
talk about," she Bays In telling of
their courtship.
“But I didn't fall In lovs with
him until about a year later. We
waited two more years before mar
rying.
Saya Honry Carolen.
"I have • always waited on him.
and still do. He's a careless man.
He's a clean man, but he’s care
less. He'll drop his collar and his
clothes about anywhere, and 1 have
to go picking up utter him. 1
don't say anything about It
I don't scold because I know his
mind Is full of bigger things and
he's not conscious of what he Is do
ing.”
She warns wives against a "greed
for clealtness," declaring such an
attitude carried to extremes will
drive husbands out to the friendly
club, where he can drop ashes
where he will.
The greatest hours of their ro
mantic lives were the last hours
that her husband worked on his
first automobile which was to car
ry them to fame and fortune. For
ty-eight hours without sleep.
Watched Success.
The second night Mrs. Ford sat
up until 2 a. m.. when the little oar
was finished and ready for a trty
out. It was raining and Mrs. Ford
threw a cloak over her shoulders
and followed Henry to the small
shop near the house.
Ford rolled the car out Into the
alley and started 1L It rnn only a
short distance. But it ran! One
of the foothills of the mountain of
success had been topped.
But there were othor hilts to
climb. When Ford drove his odd
looklng contlrvance, horses balked,
drivers swore. Jeering crowds
gathered.
The populace called him "ernrv"
and "half cracked." But through'lt
all Mrs. Ford stood by him—urging
him on with her confidence. She
was about the only person who had
the "nerve" to endure the hoots of
the crowd and ride through Detroit
streets wllth him In his "horseless
carriage."
Homs-Loving Woman.
Homs-loving and thoroughly un
pretentious is this tremendously
rlch woman.
Despite her millions, shs dresses
like any middle class woman. She
cares nothing for Jewels. In dfessea
the shades shs likes are brown and
blue. Mink and sable are her fa
vorite fura.
Mrs. Ford believes that good
cooking la the biggest part of a
woman's Job That's her forte In
deed she refused to have any ser
vant a around her house until a few
years ago. She's proudest of her
apple pie. ShV calls It "bird's-nest
plo."
"It's quits slmpls to make,” she
says.
And Henry likes It.

ity the result of the referendum elec

from Secretary of State Blackwell.
Mr. Blackwell stated so far none of
the returns had been received in his
office.
Requiring a bare majority for pass
age, the measures providing for far
reaching changes In the state govern
ment, appeared from unofficial re
