the typewriter, tears just streaming
down her face, but the stuff was cork

And so go the annals Of the news

And from Nellie Bly, and Josephine

a part that has made US feel, TO para

He didn't wait for an answer.
well after all, those are the things
that make our days, aren't they? And,
for my part, l don't see why babies
and bonnets shouldn't be discussed IN
the daily newspaper"
Here was fond subject. Every time
women get together they wrangle over
the consuming topic: SHOULD There
Be a Woman's Page" Certain high
brow ladies say. mo; there should not"
And they ask the Illuminating question,
Are not women intelligent enough to
read a general newspaper? Must they

Says Norman Hapgood in answer 70
them;

business. Women will continue TO wear

"But here is nothing but straight
news. There is a financial page used
BY men. a court page which only few

So the womans page was eXonerated'
and breathed again.
Mr. Hapgood is an interesting person

keep coming back again even after you
have left him. Now that's the ideal
interviewer Some of them talk anu

Catching the edition"
Well, | wish what we are pleased
to call the laiety could have seen those
three newspaper women at the League
the other night. wish they could
have seen little Miss vom Baur, who
is extraordinarily pretty; Mary Taft
of "The Times" who has a pleasing
dignity of bearing, and Ethel Lloyd
Patterson, recently Of "The World
who has dash enough of clothes and
manner for two debutantes.
Then, too, the laiety has a favorite
fancy that newspaper woman leads
a wild and woody existence, never eat
ing except sketchily on the way to
murder trial, never sleeping except on
her desk between editions. That little
theory was to be both corroborated
and exploded that evening.
For Miss Taft was telling us very
sensible things about sleeping and eat
ing properly and dispelling illusions
about the horrible crimes and heart
less assignments that women are asked
to cover. But just as she finished talk
ing about keeping regular hours Ethel
Lloyd Patterson was called to the front,
and her first remark was: "Well, how
aid you manage it, Miss Taft"
Then she proceeded to tell how her
city editor never got her started on
her story until 3 in the afternoon, and
how she never could find the people
until II or -, and how the story was
never written until l or ,. Which, if
you reflect that the day began at 10, is
quite a few working hours. 1t is no
wonder that she broke down in health
few years ago and that she says a
newspaper woman's first requisite must
be good health. Ethel Lloyd Patterson
has done few thrilling things in her
newspaper life. it seems, but she
doesn't approve of the spectacular
method in journalism.
you can be a lady and work on
newspaper" she said. people have an
idea that a newspaper woman takes her
notebook in her teeth. hauls herself up
to the second story and works right
along with the safe men, the jimmy be-
ing her choice tool. But your city ed
itor sees that woman gets a womsn's
story. OF course, once in while he's
absent minded. | remember once my

: Mr.. Hapgood isn't like that; he not
only shows the interviewer a mighty
good time, but he makes the story a
little less agonizing of production than
do some good, kind gentlemen. SO that
morning Mr.. Hapgood's newspaper
talk set me on the track of newspaper
women to see what they thought of
their jobs.
II luck hadn't been perching close
by a complete canvass Of my sisters In
the profession might have been neccs-
sary. But luck was perching, and with
great glee | learned that the League
for Business Opportunities for Women
was having a special evening that night
devoted to the hearts and minds of
newspaper women, and three of the
towns best were to talk. In a spirit
of great professional fervor | arrived
at the proper spot at the precise hour.
There was Eva f. vom Baur, editor
of the Woman's Page of THE Evening
Sun" to talk about the woman editor.
"You have to be a handy girl around
the Office" she confded. Reporting is
going out and getting story and writ
ing it. but editing a page is planning
the material, editing it, making up the
page, making out the bills, sharpening
the pencils, answering the telephone
and reading the letters Of protest. You
never have the faintest inkling that
anybody is reading your page, of
course, until you do something they
don't like.
"For the woman who wants TO go
into newspaper work there must usu-
ally be some impetus besides the great
urge to write She must have some
thing to say And this is the day
of specialization, not scatterization.
Newspaper work is apt TO make one
scattered. It spreads you so thin you
crack sometimes, for to-day you write
a story about an educational system,
tomorrow one about labor problems,
the next day about a new theatre
movement. And never do you delve
very deep. SO while you're versatile,
you're superficial very often, and
there's your danger"
That truth was calculated TO create
introspcction. And the person who had
TO look in her scrap book to learn the
facts of a story which she herself
wrote two months ago is well open 10

self ruefully.

To cling, and who can tell
If you could open the door yourself
might not love you as well.

If you were given a key.
You think that's rather selfish?
