HANDKERCHIEFs.

them. hemstitched broad hem some
how shows the hemstitching to better ad-
vantage than the narrow hens. The
new hem is about an inch in width. They
can be made either from sheer hand
kerchief linen or that of a smooth fine
heaviness. AS to the weight OF a hand
kerchief. much depends upon the person
to whom IL Is given. Especially have old
ladies a preference in this simple article.
One old lady will shudder at the thought
of using a heavy handkerchief, and an
other will shoe away a sheer square of
linen as being impractical. So. as in
giving all things else, one has to study
the tpye and tastes of the recipient.

One initial looks so much like bought

gram of the person gives a touch of in
dividuality that Is unmistakable. There
is a pretty fashion. too, of emhroider-

on being a governess. She has too much
energy and too much ambition.
Working at odd times, she managed TO
learn typewriting and stenography. Not
at a business college. but in her own
room. by dint of digging it out of book
and keeping everlastingly at il.
She fitted herself for a good position
and she soon got it. She became the pri-

trust company of Portland. Unfortunate
ly her own determination not to fail
couldn't keep the trust company from do
ing that very thing. II went to smash
and she was forced to testify in the inves-
tigation which followed.
1t was a disagreeable experience at the
time. But if she had only known it. even
that cloud had a bright silver lining For
it was her loyalty to her employer in that
crisis and her courage in defending him
that attracted the attention of MIR. b. w.

that IL he wanted to do himself a good
turn he would secure for himself the hem

Gov. West took his friends advice. He
made Miss Hobbs his personal stenog-
rapher. For two years she held that po-
sition, and so well did she ecquit herself
that when the opportunity came the gov
ernor promoted her to the post of pri-
vate secretary, and gave her that 5000
salary before mentioned.
But that isn't the whole story. Even
while she was sten0grapher for the trust

II HERE is something curiously inter
esting in the very name Fern
= Hobbs, II il had been Fern Lor-
raine. or Susan Hobbs. one wouldn't have
given it a second thought
But ever since the first time l heard it,
! have found myself saying II over and
over. fascinated by that conjunction of
imagination and hard common sense.
Miss Fern Hobbs is private secretary TO
Gov. Oswald West, of Oregon. She is
said to be the only woman 10 have held
that position, either in Oregon or in any
other State. Her salary, which is 5000 a
year, is one of the largest received by any
woman holding a public position.
But she earns il. There's not a bit of
doubt about that. And some of the ways
she does it arc surprising. to say the least.
There WAS, for instance. the affair at
Copperfield, where the mayor and some
other city officials were declared by Gov.
West to be breaking certain State laws
concerning the liquor traffic.
The governor demanded their resigna-
tion. They refused. He demanded it
again and yet again. But the mayor and
the rest sat tight and held on to their
municipal jobs. The longer they held on
the more cocky they became.
Suddenly the governor exploded bomb
And Miss Fern Hobbs was the bomb. He
said he would send his secretary to Cop
perfield with instructions to close up the
saloons in question. He added that he
was willing to stake his reputation that
the closing program would be carried out
10 the letter.
The mayor and his henchmen pooh
poohed the prospect of being downed by
anybody of the name Of Fern, even
though the rest of ii might be Hobbs.
But that was where they made a mis-
take.

Somehow thi. sounds as if there were
