Looking back over the four years
that have elapsed since | became the
only woman reporter on the city stan
Of a large daily. 1 believe l have
found my greatest happiness in the
comradeship of men, so that l have
come to look with pity on the aver
age professional woman whose self
fficiency leads her almost inevitably
into the narrow path of spinsterhood,
and to regard as even more unfor-
tunate the woman who has never
tried to do a mans work shoulder to
shoulder with men.
Sure, you can do #, child the
men OF our Office would say, when
terrified and homesick during my
first days in Washington, | conf1ded
to them the sickening dread that !
might not make good. Just be game.
Make the city editor think you know
a whole lot, and well see that you
never get trimmed on a story
And they were as good as their
word. Despite the high tension at
which they worked. none of them was
ever too busy TO tell me how TO go
about getting a story which had been
assigned; 10 keep a watchful eve on
my daily run so that l should not be
scooped by our competitors; or to
speak an appreciative word when
did my work we'll My writing soon

editor, a man with a fiery temper,
but whose heart held a tender spot
for every woman whom circumstances
had forced from the beaten track of
home and marriage. gave me many
OF the assignments that were generally
coveted in our Office. Yet there was
never a sign of envy, nor lack of GER
tain firuff. and sometimes amusing
chivalry, on the part of the men in our
office

MEN: AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

! remember the first time I was sent
/ to another city on a story for ouI
paper. AS l was purchasing my ticket
at the station one of our reporters
whom l had left at his desk but a few
minutes before. dashed up to me quite
breathless, his hair and necktie in
comic disorder from the swiftness OF
his pursuit.
Say, I'd get fired in a minute If
they knew l took time to follow you
up" he gasped, to the utter amaze
ment of my fellow travellers, but l
know you're green, and 1 was afraid
you'd economic on your expense ac-
count. Spend. dollar for lunch. ride
in taxis, and travel in the Pullman
every time"
And I passed through the gates to
the train, | heard the shouted injunc-
ton:
BE sure to spend a dollar for
lunch
So, there was not a day that did
not bring some evidence of their
friendliness. A newspaper man will
tell you that his calling is a heartless
one, adding always:
NO stree, newspaper office is no
place for a minister's son, or young
girl either"
1t is an Office platitude, and with
the respect we unconsciously pay to
platitudes, he accepts it.
In my seven years Of newspaper
experience, have been associated
with men Of every degree of intelli-
gence and cleverness. Among them
all l have found, without exception.
a genuine greatness of heart. a gen
crosby that takes no count of means
or effort, and a capacity for loyalty
to their fellow workers which stirs
my pride when 1 think of them
