t-V Woman Newspaper Head Tells Editorial Experiences ^__ -/' With a woman president, Mrs. Ma rie Week*, editor of the Norfolk Press, and with a woman secretary. Miss Naomi Buck, editor of the Har yard Courier, the Nebraska Press as sociation Is a lively demonstration of the way in which women are work ing up In the ranks of the fourth es tate. No longer need the young woman with i. hankering after printer's ink ■ hesitate with the fear that she will never be permitted to do anything be yond society, featurs and sob storis. The editor's sanctum and the swivel chair are hers, if she can fill them. The adventures of a pioneer among women newspaper, executives are en tertainingly illustrated In the story of Mrs. Weeks of Norfolk. When Mrs. Weeks began her jour nalistic career as reporter and ty pographer on the Cuming County Democrat in 1904, the composing and press rooms were supposed to be sa cred to the he-man, and her intrusion did not pass unresented. The printers were kind to her, however, and pack ed her off for a vacation every Friday afternoon, on press day, for fear that the noise of the old Campbell press would make her nervous. It was some time before she learned that their own nerves were fortified on 1 bat afternoon by several buckets of » beer. Object to Petticoats. . When after her marriage, Mrs. Weeks took over the news and edi torial chair of the Norfolk Press, the town required some time to adjust Itself to the fact that the editor’s wife was now become the editor. One subscriber came five times asking for Mr. Weeks, only to be referred by that gentleman to his wife at the last. Politicians objected strenuously to "petticoat government" in the edi torial column, but sometimes express ed admiration of the woman editor's stories, if they could be brought to be lieve that a malt had written them. This soon passed as the neighbor hood, and later the state, discovered In the clear-eyed little woman, who occupied the swivel chair In the Nor folk Press office, the unusual combi nation of errant reformer and estute politician, together with the power to wield a telling typewriter. Instead of hindering, her woman's wit proved a help, as the news comes to her. Her office is a general information booth for the community. Almost any day, during a political campaign, republi can, democratic and progressive can didates may he found gathered there. Candidate for Congress. Mrs. Weeks owns to broad-minded sympathies in politics, and admits a bipartisan enthusiasm for Howell, Bryan, Howard and Norris, for all of whom she has campaigned. She was the first Nebraska woman candidate for the congress in 1920. Her greatest delight Is to write a story that will make something bet ter or someone happier. After that her ilearest hobby is to dig in her gar den and to watch things grow. She is homekeeper as well as edi tor, and strikrfj out some of h»r stories while waiting for the fireless cooker discs to heat. French Poet Arrives Here Today •M.

Small white pearl buttons are often used in rows as a trimming feature, In com bination with braid or other trim ming. Flat braids in half-inch or nar rower widths are increasingly em ployed for tailored trimmings. Suede and leather belts of all kinds gain in importance, and, at the same time, the beltless dress is conspicu ous in the mode. The narrow tie sash occupies its established position. These three treatments are radically different, but there seems to be room for them all. Dresses that close at the side often feature the wrap-around treatment. Tiered apron fronts are noticed In all types. Horizontal tuckings and pip ings of contrasting material are con spicuous details In the mode. Injuries Can’t Stop Barbara After falling to the studio stage floor twice, once In a faint, Barbara Lamarr one day this week set. her teeth and continued at work five hours.

Tvyfce the star refused to comply with the phy sicians' orders that she be taken home and it avas only after the scene was completed to the satisfaction of the director that she consented, with e wan smile, to'be carried off the aet.

Complicated fastenings requiring not only pa tience, but some of the requisites of a contortionist, have disappeared. Not even the obvious return of the * * i , ' A button threatens or argues their re turn. No longer do hooks get caught on hair nets, for there are no hair nets and no hooks, presuming of course that you belong to the bobbed hair, over-the-top dress brigade. Tet even with boyish bobbed heads women have found that they rnay wear a gardenia and even a comb. Gardenias have attained a degree of popularity that played havoc with the crop, fortunately though, fashion does not Insist that they be white. The delicate waxen flower often has a pinkish caste which many women find their liking. But to return to simplified dress ing. what a boon nude stockings are, to be sure. The nulsaflre of having to change our stockings with a change of dress, has been largely obviated by the universal acceptance f of what may be broadly designated as nude hosiery. To be sure, for evening openwork clocks or a sheerer weave are aften preferred, but thy real point is the absolute necessity for change has been obviated. Among the charming little things which count, are colored linen hand kerchiefs, scalloped and embroidered in white or black and combination vanity and cigaret cases of tiny beads suspended from a wrist chain. There are gay-printed crepe handkerchiefs to fly from the coat or dress pocket and of course scarfs which are most important #f all and net Infrequently a part of a dress or coat •istead of a separate unit,^ r Adele Garrison “Mv Husband’s Love” ^_J Alfred IliirUrr Stood I'p for Itess Dean. Mrs. Bird's (hiver drew his ram shackle car beside the subway kiosk, and spoke hurriedly: "I've got this straight now, have 1? That subway station"-—he named it—"in Brooklyn two hours from now.” "You have it—exactly,” Alfred re plied gravely as lie helped me out, and made a motion toward his pock et. I nudged him sharply, and he took the hint and turned toward the subway stairs with me. "Why didn't you want me to tip him?" he asked. "I obeyed, as my mother and my wife have taught me to do when anything feminine speaks, hut 1 don't understand-" "In the first place, he would have been gone before you extracted the money from your pocket,” I said lightly. "In the second place his cat wasn't a taxi,' and giving hlrn money might get him Into trouble if a policeman saw him; In the third place he wanted nothing which would attract attention to him and In the fourth place I do not know Ills status. He may be Mrs. Bird’s brother for all I know, and If he is, you, would insult him by offering him a Pt,” We \v<re at tlie foot of the stairs when I finished and Alfred took off his hat and made me a low bow, much to the amusement pf the few people gathered near the ticket win dow. I am as used to his vagaries as to those of Dicky, but Just now the flamboyant gesture Irritated me as did the words accompanying it. "Your great grandfather must have been a Puritan minister," he said. "Are you going on to your fifthly and sixthly and seventhly?" "No, I'm going to stop right there,” I said, conscious that my voice held a trace of testiness, but not caring particularly. "And please don't forget that until those Harri son children are safely on board that ship, I'm not snxious to have any attention attracted to me, either.” I finished the sentence with s forced little laugh, but Alfred, I knew, recognized my real reaction toward his nonsense. "By Jove, Madge, I’m sorry." he said contritclf. "I feel like kicking myself up those stairs and down again. But as that would only make us a trifle more conspicuous. I'll content myself with a promise to be mum as an oyster till this stunt is over." The laugh I gave him this time was not forced. It Is as Impossible to be angry at Alfred Durkee as it is at Dicky. The two men are much alike. But the lnvMuntary mental compari son put all inclination to mirth from me. I am no clinging vine, unable to be happy unless my husband is con ■noet mintn the normal longing for one s own man when there is a gra\e emergency confronting one. It was no fault of either Dicky's or mine that circumstances had left him with his mother and .Junior on the farm and Bent me on the hectic journey with the Braithwaites end tiie Harrison children, of which this little expedition with Alfred was a part. The thought of Motile Fawcett had marred seriously our relations, but I could not repress a homesick Utile longing for his presence and aid and an unjust, unreasonable but natural comparison of the way ho would have done things with the way Alfred was doing them. With Alfred, as writh Dick'-, how ever one has no time for reflection. His promise to be "mum as an oys ter" 1 took at the proper value, bo fur below par as to be unrecogniz able and indeed no sooner were we seated in the subway than he began to speak, but hurriedly, stammering ly and In a low tone. "I say, Madge, I don’t want you to misunderstand Bess being in my office today. I know you know about the whole Messed business and I wouldn’t ha\e you think—really I didn't ask her to come, or even know she was coming until she walked in—" "you don't have to tell me that, Alf," I returned, a distinct edge to my voice now. "But if you expect to keep the yuung woman away from your office or your home by passive ignorance of w hat she Intends to do, you’ll find her a fairly frequent visi tor.” I shot a quick, furtive look at him and saw' his cheeks redden angrily. "Thera you go.” he said. "You and Leila and mother and—yes—the Dicky bird are all alike, each of you swinging the hammer on that poor girl. Well, I will acquit Leila of knocking very much. She’s only handed out a few delicate Btiletto stabs. But the rest of you? Why you’d think the girl was an uhpiin cipled vamping creature wildly in love with me to hear the lot of you go on." There was something in his voire faint almost undeflnable which yet savored of subconscious gratification at the picture his last words had drawn. I attuned myt voice to an amusedly contemptuous drawl. "I don’t think she Is In love with you," I said. "In fact. I know It." Parcel Post to Germany.

Kussell, principal attraction In the lobby of a movie theater in Coun cil Bluffs as she sits in the booth and passes out smiles and pickets, has been the envy of her friends and ac quaintances all her life liecause of her mass of auburn hair. Recently she reported for duty with an attractive bob framing her face and received criticism, both favorable and adverse, from her employer and others. All admitted that the new style was decidedly becoming, but many deplored the sacrifice of her "crown of glory." Cora merely smiled. "Am I sober, did I have a dream last night, or did you really come to work yesterday with your hair bobbed?" inquired her employer on the following day, when the Cora of old reported at the theater, her golden hair piled high upon her head. Then the secret came out. The girl's hair, which fell to her knees before it was cut, bad been deftly fashioned Into a switch and two puffs, with the result that she may adopt any style that suit” her fancy, arid with her own hair, too. Hospital Board Plans Expansion Board of trustees of the Nebraska Methodist Episcopal Hospital and Deaconness home Wednesday were in conference with George B.

Odd and novel effects are brought about through the use of a peculiar, colored double exposure and a variation of the spectrum. To view "Plastlgrams” It la neces sary to look through special lenses, a blue-colored lens for the left eye and a red colored lens for the right aye. These lenses cut off one end of tha spectrum for each eye with the re sult that an effect entirely different from any other the mod* screen has hereteofore produced Is offered to the spectator.
