Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Frankly, Klondike Kate is scan
dalized by some members OF this
here now younger generation.
The way lot of these cigarette
smoking, slack wearing, stove-hot
cuties carry on in the beer parlors
and dance halls of this modern era,
she SAYS, is a downright caution.
Compared to them, the dance hall
girls of roaring Dawson were re-
spectacle, genteel ladies. AS mat
ter OF fact, stoutly asserts Klondike
Kate. the dance girls OF roaring
Dawson at the turn of the century
were respectable ladies. Present-day
fictioneers and motion picture pro-
ducers, she laments, have grossly
libeled them.
A lady was a lady in the Naughty
Nineties, says Klondike Kate. Now
she's some other mans wife.
Visits Seattle
An eminently respectable and
charming person herself-a lady OF
almost legendary reputation, Klon-
dixie Kate - Mrs. Kate Rockwell
Matson of Bend, Ore.-was in Sc
attic recently to attend the open
ing of the Alaska Yukon Civic Ex-
position at the Civic Auditorium.
KIondike Kate spends her Win
tiers in the beautiful little town OF
Bend, where she is extremely &C
tive in civic, social and Catholic
/ circles. But summer finds her in her
old stamping ground in the far
Yukon, where Husband Matson
works a small mine all year around
Movie Version Hit

ture," she said, which pictured the
dance hall ladies as they really
were. We. weren't fallen women
Sure, we worked for percentage
checks on the liquor sales, but i
stopped there People nowadays
have got the old-time dance hal
girls mixed up with the girls wht
lived across the river.
'I saw a moving picture recently
"a which the dance hall girls wer'
pouring champagne on men whit
had fallen on the floor. Never in al
my years in Dawson did l see sucl
a thing. I saw Mae West in klon
dixie Annie They wouldn't have lie
the kind of woman that Mae Yves
portrayed stay in one OF Dawson
dance halls in those days
Honestly, you see much wors
scenes in the beer parlors OF toda,
than you ever saw in the saloon
land dance halls of the Yukon"
Ghost Town
Dawson isn't what it used to be
lKlondike Kate admits sadly. Tn
people there are nice, but ther
isn't that genuineness about thei
handshake. You have the feeling
she says, that everyone is preoccu
pied, living within himself. It's
ghost town, the building sag, tn
streets are empty, and the woodel
sidewalks echo hollowly and lone
somely to your footsteps as 20
walk down to the postoffice. An
you don't feel any more that 20
can leave your doors unlocked.
Klondike Kate still rolls her owl
cigarettes. It's habit she learne
in the Yukon and she's never fan
cied the tailor made variety of tn
comforting weed.
How old is she now?
She says she's "sixtyish," but sh
hopes she still thinks like womal
of thirty. Her friends among tn
sourdoughs say she does.

He DOTTED his hat shyly and said hello
and asked her - entirely of his own

1t was a great night. The boat trip
down was only slightly eventful and
the young gentleman who tried to flirt
with Linda regretted it exceedingly
but Linda was too accustomed to
violence to make serious objections.
Once on the Island, she acted as
guide. They ate a shore dinner, al

tend that he liked the steamed clans.
and they danced once - once being
enough for Linda - and then they
did things.
They did wild. crazy, hilarious
things - all of the insane things for
which Coney Island was created.
They mounted to the skies and plum
meted deep in frantic roller coasters,
they shot the chutes, they rode the
merry -go-round, they whirled and
spun on the Virginia Reel, and she
shrieked when their Ferris wheel car
lurched off into space on its sliding
track and swung them violently back
and forth. high above the half million
merrymakers below. They rode in the
Old Mill, sitting side by side and glid-
ing quietly through dark and some

On their third evening together he
talked about himself Not much, but

She even touched on the one thing
that was closest to her at the moment.
She said. But why so belligerent,

to amend: Mot so much. anyhow -"
Before the team left for its western
road jaunt, Linda had made visible
dent in the granite of Steve's surface.
He occasionally held brief conversa-
tions with certain members of the
team, and once he permitted one of
them to say, Hi. Wildcat" without
threatening immediate and permanent
determination.
The club opened in Chicago. Steve
pitched and won, and when Tim Riley
made pleasant remark in the showers
after the game, Steve rewarded him
with slightly twisted grin and said:
Huh" which was the ultimate in
cordiality for him.
Back in New York Linda rode with
Buddy Morgan on the top of River
side Drive bus. He said, Good going,
kid. If they come back from this trip
without general homicide, we can
celebrate our victory"
'Ours?"
"Yeh. My brain and your charm"
She looked across to the lights on
the opposite shore.
Buddy asked, What are you look
ing at?"
New Jersey"
Like it,"
Il love it. It's got so many coun-
ties"
"I'll buy it for you. Now - what
else are you thinking about?"

promptly. II just love to discuss u.s."
The team returned from the West
without casualties - and two full
games out in front. Steve's only
pugilistic adventure had been with
the caustic coach of another club, and
the hundred-dollar fine had been paid
cheerfully by the Cougar manage
ment. The afternoon of their return,
Steve was waiting outside the Cougar

THIS WEEK

Steve produced two additional dimes
and insisted that they ride again.
On this trip, when the darkness was
darkest, Steve groped awkwardly for
Linda's hand. She said, This is so
sudden" but let him hold it. He con-
tinued to hold it after they left the Old
Mill and relinquished his grasp only
long enough for each of them to pur-
chase and consume hot corn on the
cob.
On the homeward journey Linda's
hand quite naturally crept into Steve's
huge paw, and she relaxed against his
shoulder. Once or twice she fancied
that he was seriously considering
putting his arm around her. but obvi-
ously the problem was too grave to be
decided hurriedly, as they achieved
Forty-second street without anything
occurring.
When they reached the brownstone
house where Linda had room, Steve
was still holding her hand. He looked
down at her and said, Gee! 1t was
swell!'
1T sure was, Steve"
He blinked and then blurted, Good
night" A half dozen PAGES and he
turned. "Hey, Miss Linda"
"Yes, Steve?"
I'm gettin' to like New York"
Coney Island had done things to
Steve. Chiefly. it had taught him to
like Linda - and he talked to her.
And she talked to him. She harped
on the single theme: that the boys
would like him if he'd give them half
a chance. He found this difficult to
believe, but consented to give it a
trial. Then Linda reported to Buddy
and Buddy relayed the information to
Manager Davis, who called his players
into conference.
He said, Listen, you mugs, this
Webb is a good guy, see. He hasn't
been friendly because he didn't know
how. Chances are he's gonna try now.
and if any of you baboons fail to meet
him nine-tenths of the way you'll find
yourselves outta baseball. Get it,"
They said they got it - and they
did their best. Even at that, it was
slow work. But at least the atmosphere
in the locker room wasn't so chock-
full of dynamite. And the wisest
among the players commenced to see
that Mike had been right: Steve was
willing to make friends, but hadn't
quite known where or how to begin.
They were as nice as they dared be,
and Steve warmed up.
Buddy was radiant. He said. Look
Linda Il think the guy has fallen
for you. You We got him looping"
What do you want me to do now,
Buddy?"
Keep it up, sugarfoots. You got
two strikes on the lad already. My
thousand is in the bag" He squeezed
her hand. Niagara Falls, here
come"
The Cougars we're going strong.
Nine games out in front, and not
coasting. Steve was a bear for work
and resented the fact that he was used
only twice a week. He already had
won sixteen games and lost one, and
that one only because his teammates
had neglected to score at all. His
earned-run average was the best in
either major league. he was hitting
better than 300, and sport pages all
over the circuit were plastered with
his pictures together with personality
stories. Down in Crinkle, Alabama,

worked sank new shaft and formally
