XXTASHINGTON, May 3D.
w Mrs. Jim" Reed is as much
of dramatic personality as her
fire-eating husband, which is say
ing lot.
Mrs. Reed can make Jim"
come home to dinner on time.
Mrs. Reed can make Jim" stop
talking when nobody else can.
Mrs. Reed reels in her own copper
wire with a twelve-pound trout
quivering on the end and won't
let Jim" help a speck. AS some
one once put it, Mrs. Reed is the
one person able to be Jim Reeds
wife and not be flattened out by
the job"
If the Reeds should sign a four
year lease for the big White House
on Pennsylvania Ave, the begin
ming of March 4, 1929, Tom
would come, too, and show the
best minds what a real southern
breakfast or lunch of hot corn
bread, southern fried chicken and
baked ham and waffles can be.
tom" has been the Reeds
major demo for so many years
they've all lost count. There is no
servant problem in the Reed
menage, for Tom "SpectS Use
here for life"
n H,H
MENTION Mrs. Jim" Reed in
N1 Washington and any listener
will say:
Did you ever see such hair?"
The hair in question is as golden
as honey though Mrs. Reed boasts
of her forty years marriage to the
Senator.
1t was the golden hair and
pansy blue eyes of Lura Mansfield
that started the Reed courtSh,p
back in Cedar Rapids, Ia, in 1885.
Jim" Reed was just q successful
attorney then and even his best
friends didn't dream that he'd be
footed for the White House some
years later.
Brilliant. beautiful, compan-'
ionable and dressy" are the most
frequent adjectives of description
thrust upon Mrs. jim Reed. She
loves bright colors in both her
house and clothes.
They say in Washington that
the Reeds are the most perfectly
companionable couple in official
life.
I'm" REED is a movie fan. No
y body knows whether Mrs.
Jim really is or not, but she
stands in line in the movie queue
with Jim" at the opening of most
every new film and even, they say,
doesn't scold if Jim" comes home
late for dinner and explains he
just dropped into a movie house
on the way home from the SEN
ate.
Senator Jim" has his library
and work shop" in the basement
of the new Kansas City brick
home on Cherry st.
Here Jim" putters around and
Mrs jim let's him putter, going
OF to a bridge club of some party
Of her own which she knows
would bore the Senator to out
break.
NERS. REED love pretty clothes.
Iva She is said to be one of Off
.cial WaShington's st-dressed
women.
She doesn't buy just dresses and
coats and hats and shoes; she
buys complete costumes; a green
hat means a green or beige dress,
bag. shoes, coat, etc.
The Senator sometimes up
braids her for what he Smilingly
calls "Lura's extravaganza" but
they say there isn't a Senator in
Washington prouder of his wife.
Mrs. Jim" Reed is very popular
IN Washington. They say she
makes any party a success.
But she is not at all impressed
by the official social whirl and in
dulges in only those official social
occasions which are almost obliga-
tory.
