GOVERNOR MARGARET REEVE.
She Filled Idaho's Executive Chair for
Two Weeks


Two Weeks.
For years past Miss Margaret Reeve has
held responsible positions in various depart
ments of the state government Of Idaho. AS
a crowning triumph she has just completed
a two weeks term as chief executive of tho
far western state. Miss Reeve is at present
private secretary to Mr.. Lewis, secretary of
state. Recently Governor Stennenberg and
Mr.. Lewis were called from Boise City to the
northern part of the state on business OF the
utmost Importance. The governor was at a
loss who to leave in charge of affairs, but
finally, at the suggestion Of Mr.. Lewis, decided
I that Miss Reeve would acceptably run the
machine" until his return. Accordingly the
Young woman was left at the state house
clothed with full gubernatorial authority,
which she exercised in manner that not
only gave satisfaction to the governor, but
has won for her great distinction.
Miss Reeve may not have fully compre-
hended the responsibilities thrust upon her
before the departure Of the governor, but she
took hold OF official business like an old hand.
Before the governor and party had been alb
sent twenty-fouro hours matters of great i'm
portance were brought to Miss Reeves atten-
ton. The governor and secretary OF state had
left uumber OF important blanks to which
they had attached their signatures, and 1t
was left to Miss Reeves discretion to issue
them or not on requsitions, applications for
extraditlons from governors of other states
and many other matters. She sought legal
advice. but the attorney informed her she
must depend upon herself, as he did not care
to be mixed up In the acts OF any female
governor" When the governor returned he
was astonished at the amount OF executive
business his fair substitute had turned out
and frankly admitted the excellence of her
Judgment. although In one instance-the case
of an application for extradltion-he said he
would not have issued 1t until he had given

AS IT Is IN GREECE.
Marriage of Love Unknown and Old
Maids Mighty Scarce.

Maids Mighty Scarce.
In Greece it is considered an everlasting
disgrace to remain an old maid. Girls are
betrothed very often when still tiny babies.
Marriages of love are absolutely unkuOwn-
even more so than in France. And the father
is most particular that the intended husband
must have an ample provision to support a
wife and family. For the girl dowry is not
so important as In France, but a certain
amount OF linen oud household furniture Is
required. The whole training and education
of a Greek girl is simply a preparation to
render her brilliant in the society OF the great
world Her toilet is subject OF constant
anxiety.
Although most Greek girls are naturally
very pretty. they begin to paint and powder
from very early age-cheeks bright red,
eyebrows and lashes deepest black and veins
deliCately blue. The result Is that she is a
wRhered old woman at 40 and nowhere are
uglier women to be found than beneath the
blue skies of lovely Greece.
Next in importance to beauty comes Ian

is universally spoken in society. Pauting

Lastly, household duties are taught-how TO

delicate sweetmeats.
