gentlewoman at large from the State
of New York, is showing her real
feminine side in her interest in the
work of the women of Puerto Rico
which makes one recall that she was
national committeewoman for the
Virgin Isles. She has never for
moment lost interest in the women Of
that domain and when she visited
Puerto Rico she made friends with
Miss Mildred Hayes, director OF the
st. Andrews Mission, and investigated
the craft shop at Mayaguez.
The Mayfower will be the scene of
an exhibition of this wonderful and
perhaps vanishing work of these
women. when on May l, 2 and Mrs.
O'Day's daughter, Miss Ella O'Day,
will have charge of the exhibition
and sale. A little note written by
Miss Hayns runs thus: For IT years
we really have been doing exactly
what the N. r. A. now says we must
do. Our hours have been shorter
and our pay better than the average
on the islands. We have been able
to maintain a high standard chiefly,
I think, because our work goes di-
rectly from producer to consumer"
And now the wonderful drawn work
done by these women, like that Of
the Indians, Is becoming vanishing
art and this opportunity Of producer
to consumer will not soon again be
had.
And then mere man. There Is a
brand-new Kentucky colonel in WASH
ington. One with all the grace. cour-
age and knighthood of the grand old
brand. He is Maj. Guy w. Chapman
of Kentucky. General Staff War Plans
Division of the War Department, but
that rates him nothing in Kentucky
like being a colonel on Gov. Ruby
Laffoon's staff. No officer of the
Regular Army can sport such guam
titles of gold braid and military f1nery
as the high officers on Governors
staff, and SO Maj. Chapman is being
congratulated on all sides and espe-
cially in the Kentucky society Of
which he was president last year.
