There are two sides to all stories
and the society editor has hers, which
| few women understand. She has to be
such brazen person and exhibit such
| large amounts of nerve that people
| forget her really sensitive feelings
which must be cultivated to be able
to know the difference between the
social standing of Mrs. Harper and
Mrs. Munsey. So if you would stand
we'll with the s.. r. and never have
her wreak vengeance by giving you
the wrong initials or leaving out your
story (Which she seldom does pur-
| posely), remember these donts:
Don't call her and dictatorially say
Take this" as if she were a porter or
mental slave. She, doesn't have to take
! it, you know, and the sort of women
who say that are Usually the ones she
is seeking to avoid. 1t makes her sit
up and raise her eyebrows and say
frigidly, 'YesT' for she tries to be a
lady.
Don't ask after you have.given a no.
tice to- have it read over. At least
don't command it. 1t is her job to
get things straight and it is her great
est desire not to fail in that job. If
she doesn't understand she will ask
you.
Don't call up and without giving
your name begin, DO you want an
item ?" She wants some and not 9TH
ers and she has learned to fear the
women who begin that way.
Don't call up and add names to
list three times after the first one
1t makes an endless amount of trou-
bic if the copy has gone down to be
made up and there is a good chance
cf the additions going in the wrong
place.
Don't think the nameless stories
mean you just because they describe
the unknown woman in our town"
ole
and fascinating. 1t is only amusing
wheI three people come and object
to the same story because, it refers to
them when the S. r. made it up out
of her own head.
Don't ask for lot of publicity
about an entertainment and then for
get to be grateful enough to leave
tickets-at least if you want a write
up of it afterwards. 1t happens.
Don't word stories yourself. That
is what they hire an S. r. sor.
If you want to get her really inter
her ABOUT it. 1t makes all the diff
ference in the world and she is more
apt to get it in as you want it.
Club announcements and church
notices she loathes, SO don't get cross
if she has to ask over the names or
dates or something.
Don't say you hate publicity and
then go ahead and give a lot of news
if you don't want It in. Most people
do in their hearts. love to see their
names in print and no one knows it
better than AN S. r.
If you have a good reason for not
wanting a story in the paper. can the
S. r. and tell her SO, and the chances
are nine out of ten, if you have been
reasonable on other occasions and
have never been catty to her. she will
respect your wishes. Society reporters
