One Wonan's
Story

IkNOM EBOD1 has called 1T a social IN
- dustrial romance-the life story, up
~ to date, of Zaidee Lord Murphy.
The social part came first when, not
so long ago, Mrs. Murphy might be dis
covered during the shopping hours on
Fifth Avenue, spending part of her
$1,000 year dress allowance. Besides
being a generous patron of the most eX-
elusive shops, Mrs. Murphy was known as
the vivacious descendant of Abigail Adams
and Priscilla, of the good though crowded
ship Moyaower, the granddaughter of the
multi-millionaire Thomas Hicks, and the
wife of a prominent Wall Street broker
Then came the sudden death of Mr..
Murphy, together with the knowledge
that there was no money in the bank and
that there was a baby on the way.
And now comes the real story. For the
chief attributes of the Mrs. Murphy that
New York society knew-her ancestry,
her costumes, and the rest-had been, as
the children say wished on her." The
new Zaidee Lord Murphy is the product
of her own courage and initiative and
brilliant inventiveness.

and menus which friends declared more
original and artistic than they could buy

Murphy, in her picturesque studio shop.

the idea. l learned, through the young
woman who had previously handled my
designs,-I had sold them occasionally
for pin-money,-that there was place

covery that the head of the manufacture
ing department of famous toy house was

The situation heartened me to go into
Wall Street, where capital was raised and
the company incorporated of which am

toy man, whose sympathetic cooperation

Society Willing to Pay

SOCIETY, Mrs. Murphy finds, is willing
to pay handsomely for novelty. Born
and bred to it's whims and fancies, rich in
its inherited traditions, this clever gentle
woman anticipates society's wants. Here
in is her unique asset as business woman.
An illustrated birthday candle, thirty
six inches in height, with the most notable
event of each decade of the hosts or
hostess's life reproduced in water-color
down to the date of the f6te celebrated, is
another of her devices.
Her most ambitious feat was dinner
of Mr.. James b. Regans. The table,
which covered three rooms, was, in defer
ence to the ruling passion of host and
guests, veritable golf course. The menu
was in golf terms Knives, forks, and
spoons were done up in brown golf-bags.
The basement of Mrs. Murphy's shopis
confined to the making of chldren's toys.
"War, as a subject has no place in our
output declares the proprietor; "for our
aim is constructive education and enter
tainment." Numbers of cotton kits" for
knapsacks and war baby layettes have gone
out from the little shop to the war zone.
Zaidee Lord Murphy is never encoun-
tered, in workshop or sales-room, without
a chic hat, snugly yelled, and smart
gown concealed by blue denim jumper.
"From overalls to glad rags-in the in
terest of business, she will tell you, is her
continuous role.
