She tried to make conversation,
but since she knew nothing of
farm crops or local business, this
was difficult. The two farm boys
stared at her with blank eyes. The
third-the bankers son-talked
too much and too glibly to please
her. But they must have ap-
proved of her, for they returned

they were accompanied by

 When she used to dream of mar riage she believed that a wife could dump her burdens on her husbands shoulders, and have him say, Don't you worry your head about it," the way husbands talk in stories. But in less than a month of marriage she learned that the unloading of troubles is a masculine habit.
 She has always had to decide whether it would be the movies or bridge with the Joneses. And how vacation time should be spent.

Paris-(UP)-Famous for its chil- dren's clothes, the Grande Maison de Blanc on the Place de pOpera is showing an entire window-full of crisp white dresses.
 All are high-waisted and full- skirted, with short puffed sleeves as fresh and starched as a tulip. Appliqued rows of the same ma terial, often scalloped on the edge, are favorite trimming on skirts, and the bodices have little button down bib fronts, made either by appliques or organdie or outlined by valenciennes lace.
 Fashionable indeed, for 12-year- old, is one dress with an addition al panel of organdy sewn down the front from neck to hem, and edged with pointed scallops. Appliqued bands of organdy run around the skirt to both sides of the panel, and narrower bands encircle the puffed sleeves in the same manner from elbow to cuff. There is a round col- lar, similarly trimmed.
 Another dress has an 8-inch hem topped by an organdy ruffle and halfway up the skirt is another tuck. not quite so deep, also edged with ruffles. What might be called rec-

World Fame As Reporter Gained "On Her Own"
 Bv "Small Town Girl"
By Betty Jane Ferguson NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 New York.-Little girls from small towns need have no fear about fac ing the wicked world after reading "On My Own," by Mary Knight, newspaper woman extraordinary.
 Miss Knight, born and raised ln the south, had nothing but her mothers advice when she set forth to see the world.
 With practically no money, Miss Knight went to New York, thence to Europe. There began her fas- cinating existence as the only Wo- man staff correspondent for the United Press. She found European reporting made her life thrilling and furnished material for an en- chanting book.
 "When I, as foreign correspon- dent, was said to write a book" said Miss Knight, T refused be- cause I didn't feel that I had done enough. However, when the word ing was changed, and they request ed that I write as normal girl from the deep south, that was diff ferent. I accepted"
 Writes Little Stories, Too
 Miss Knight became journalist when she reached Europe by camp ng, literally on doorsteps until she was given a job. That was the start of her colorful and exciting career. In telling of her many ad- ventures and successful interviews, however, she never hesitates to tell of her mistakes or failures.
 "One thing I'd like to stress" Miss Knight declares, "is the fact that the work of a foreign correspondent is not all comment ing on world events, and inter- viewing high potentates or glam- orous characters, but includes Soutine office work and getting the dry little stories that must be done the same as the large ones."
 However, when she wasn't doing these little stories, she planned trained and drove all over Eu- rope. She took trip o China planning to stay six weeks, but she remained one year. Then, she didn't want to leave because she knew war was about to break. But the powers that-be brought her home.
 Southern Girls Adventures
 High spots of Miss Knights ca reer: She was the first woman since the French Revolution to witness an execution in France. Dressed as boy, after all other methods of entrance had failed Miss Knight sauntered in and watched Paul Gorgouloff walk to the guillotine.
 She interviewed the war lords of China. Though instructed to stay only 20 minutes, she had to bow her way out at the end of an hour and forty minutes.
 q talked from Hong Kong to New York for the first time on any wire" recalled Miss Knight.
 Crashing the gates of Holly wood wasn't so easy, but with Mary Pickford's aid, I finally suc- ceeded," she continued. T was determined to do it without the help of my employers, and merely by having my name mentioned by the right people, was listed . at central Casting and was an extra.

 She manages the budget, decides where the family will live, when they can afford to move into a bet ter neighborhood, who their friends shall be, and whether or not the family savings are going into college for the cildren or 8 house for show.
 It doesn't take her long to learn that her husband is more personal ly dependent than she ever dreamed of being. If he is out of town for a week -end she looks forward to the

tangular bertha collar, and the short sleeves also are similarly trimmed, and the bodice is cut in a vestee- V, with tiny buttons down the front.
 Leave it to the French to think of accessories. Tiny caps of organ dy, tied under the chin, have a spray of appliqued leaves that out line the face. A little organdy purse, trimmed like it's dress with either tucks, scallops, or lace, swings from the wrist by it's organdy handle And most thrilling of all to a little girl is an elbow-length cape, made of two tiers of white orgsndy fast ened to a round collar of handmade braid and lace.
 Finally, there's the idea of a little doll clothed in dozen sheer linen handkerchiefs with deep encrusta- tions of valenciennes lace-a gift to remind a child for years of a memorable occasion.
