FIRST WOMAN NAMED
UNDER NEW CITY RULE
SAYS NUNS THE WORD
Miss Catherine Denny, Secre-
tary to Director Datesman,
Knows, but Shuns Politics.
Believes in Suffrage
is WOMAN FOR THE JOB"

The keynote Of efficiency that seems to
have been struck In the appointment OF
the men who form the personnel OF the
Department of Public Works under the
new administration extends also to It's
women assistants, and especially 70 Miss
Catherine Denney who will act In the
capacity of confidential etenographer to
the new Director. George r. Datesman.
Miss Denney has been Mr.. Datesnan's
right-hand assistant in the Bureau OF
Surveys for-to quote her own words-
years and years. and so on"
Living up to her own ideal Of the quali-
ties that go to make up the most em-
Client and desirable confidential stenog-
rapher. namely making ones self an abb
solutely dependable person, has resulted
in her chiefs retention of her as clear
asset to the department
Yesterday found her striving to get
her bearings in the new office at strange
desk among new associates. Every con-
scientious effort at work, however, was
punctuated by the hearty handshakes OF
her friends and former co-workers, who
dropped in to extend their congratulations
for her new appointment.
II is safe to say that no hostess at an
afternoon tea ever was called upon 70
extend her hand In greeting more often
than this young woman during offioe
hours yesterday
An interview with Miss Denney VIII
convince even the mildly observing that
she is, to use the present day vernaoulsr,
the woman for the Job" Well poised,
deliberate and careful In her phrasing,
we'll versed In all the technioalities Of the
work of the department, Of mature 1udg-
ment keen as steel trap and num-
on questions that strictly concern depart
mental affairs, IL is safe to assume that
the confidential, stenographic end OF Mr..
Datesmans office Is ably handled.
Misa DeDney'1 buainaaa caraar ha haars
such that che has had ample opportunity
to get n pretty thorough idea of the In
tricacies of politics and Judge where
women would stand in the game, should
they be enfranchised
Qulzzed about II she replied, 'I have
seen just enough of politics to feel satis-
fled to stay out of It. Not that / believe
women shouldn't have the vote. I am
a believer in limited suffrage; voice In
the government for women who hold
property. Why shouldn't a woman be en-
titled to have something to say about
the way her tax money is spent?"
Probably Miss Denney confessed to the
most remarkable hobby ever pursued by
a member of the fair sex, l. g. a study OF
higher mathematics. Problems In geome-
try. trigonometry, and advanced algebra
have become child's play to her and she
is Just about to swoop down on the COM
plexties of calculus.
Miss Denney's now position will yield
her a salary of $500 annually. She is the
first woman to receive an appointment
under the new administration.
