Who Labor for others--A Cordial Fair
Invitation Extended to All.
Special Correspondence Gazette and journal
| NEW YORK, April 2S.--I have ALWAYS
ielt particularly near to newspaper
men. They have always been good and
kind to me, and if one used his blue
pencil on me, | have had certain feel.
ing he did 1t for my own good. Conse-
quently, when | got note asking me If /
would come to the Newspaper Woman
Booth of the Press Clubs Fair, | i'm
mediately wrote ''yes," and went to the
meeting armed with several provisos.
But they all fell perfectly flat-they
were answered before | had proposed
them. That is to say, the women who
were to be at the booth were all really
women who wrote for the newspapers,
and they were not to be asked to dress
IN anybody's stuff as an advertisement
lhey were expected to come looking
like gentlewomen and wearing their
best clothes.
Since that first day | have been going
to the meetings with great regularity,
and they are very interesting. In the
lrst place, the women are all bright; or
else, they would not he writing for the
newspapers. And, in the second place,
they are nearly all pretty women, and
next to good looking man, adore a
lovely woman. | don't know whether
the meetings are strictly pariia-
mentary or not, but they ale de-
lightfully feminine. It is perfectly
lovely when somebody is drawing
design for the decoration Of the booths,
and tbree-quarters of the meeting are
discussing the value OF Spanish or
Egyptian architecture, to hear your own
mother volunteer to make a plum cake:
to have the woman neg to you to whisper
the secret of very Frenchy bonnet,
| and TO be announcing yourself that YOU
will come up and sell copies of Daddy
Wont Buy Me Bow-wow," with your
autograph on each at the music stand.
Ii the meetings were conducted in a
strictly business-like manner, should
doubt the sex of the women; but as it
Is, they are two sweetIy womanly for
any such doubt to exist
TALENTED BAZAAR MANAGERS.
Who is there Well, at the very
head OF the table with pencil in her
hand and looking as businesslike as if
she We're not the best of housekeepers
and could outcook any importation, is
Edith Sessions Upper; large, blonde.
with soft eyes and hair that Is the envy
OF everybody, she looks Juno-esque and
she is one of the brightest Of women
writers, as well as the most loyal of
friends. That's a deal to say for n
woman, you know; but it is true. The
pencil raps for silence, and then YOU
