Suggest Rules for
Job Hunting

Some practical rules for job hunt
ing which enabled them to secure
so jobs in 10 weeks were given yes
terday by Clara Belle Thompson
and Margaret Lukes Wise, before the
Women's National Press Club at its
luncheon at the Willard Hotel.
Miss Thompson and Mrs. Wise,
who wrote a book, I'VE Were Forty
and We Did Get Jobs" based on
their own experiences, explained
that they did not accept any of the
jobs offered them. Back OF their
search was the desire to prove that
jobs could be secured.
Their formula includes an accent
on what hte employer needs in
stead of what the employe needs.
They also advise job-hunters not to
overwnelm employers with accounts
of pas glortes.'
"Chuc TIC bitter. defeated at
titude,' is another OF their rules.

Maybe, like olives and Shirley
Temple, you have to have a special
taste for 1t, but this department
ventures to go berserk about the
Russian brand of entertainment.
At least the Russian brand Of enter
tainment as 1t is manifested in the
new show at the Russian Troika.
There is something about the
Slavic humor that is magnificent;
there is something about the warmth
and enthusiasm with which these
Russians infuse everything they do
that Is irresistible. So new show
at the Troika is an event. Now you
will find Lola Lonk and Vanya Orlik
in a brand-new Hungarian dance
that is the hit of any show; you will
find Nadia Varelle doing two dances
instead Of one, and you will find
many other sprightly doings. Mos
kova and Bajon add a new skit,
continue that topping midget num-
ber; Vladimir Dilof sings a new set
of songs, Sasha Lukas makes his
violin sing its soul out, Sasha and
his balalaika swink in the Russian
mood, and all of these things are
very fine.
We could tell you of the fellow
who sees the midget skit over and
over and every time has to be picked
up from the floor and brought out
of hysteria at the end of it; we could
tell you of any number Of people
who have let food, even Troika food,
grow cold while M. Lukas caressed
that fiddle: we could tell you lot of
things, but the main thing is that
there is a new show at the Troika.
80 Topping the current entertain
ment at the Shorehams Blue room
is pair of gals none Of you lads had
better argue with. It's the Knight
Sisters-and the reason none of you
lads had better argue is that they
are a sister adagio team, one of the
lassies tossing the other about with
ease that is equaled only by the
grace with which she does the toss

with the other owners.
The remaining l9 residents were, of
course. indignant, but there was moth
Ing they could do about it. They
awaited with poorly concealed curl
osity and anxiety the arrival of the
new owner. No one saw him move
in, but one morning the Raymond
Merritones were awakened by the
raucous notes of man yelling at a
horse. The horse was drawing plow.
The plow was turning sod in the open
field behind the cottage formerly
owned by Sidney Lane.
The Raymond Merritones were hor-
rified. So were the other island own
ers when they heard about it. A gar
den! A common, ordinary vegetable
garden on Brentwood Island. So
beastly vulgar.
No one had as yet seen the new
owner, whose name they understood
was Lee Prentice. They saw HIM
three days later, wearing a flannel
shirt. Jeans and an old straw hat,
actually working in his own garden.
Disgraceful. The owners held meet
ing and unanimously decided to freeze
the newcomer out,
Secretly, Les Merritone. son and
heir of the Merritone millions, was
delighted with the spectacle of man
working in a garden. Les shared
none of the aristocratic ideas about
class distinction 1t seemed to him
that Lee Prentice, working in his
garden. gave Brentwood Island sort
of human atmosphere that it had
heretofore lacked.
7 ES wasn't bold enough to present
himself openly to the newcomer,
thereby unnecessarily exciting the
wrath of his parents. Not yet a while
anyway Instead, from his bedroom
window he studied Mr. Prentice
through pair of binoculars. And he
made a startling discovery. Lee Prem
tice was not male. but female. More
over, she was young female. And
still more to the point, decidedly at
tractive.
Les slowly lowered his binoculars.

that. Thoughtfully he scratched his
chin. his head and the back of his
neck
But if Les hoped that the attitude
of his parents and the others would
soften toward Miss Lee Prentice he
was sadly disappointed. Smugly, the
islanders assured themselves that no
man. not even one who worked in
a garden. would last long without the
friendly companionship Of neighbors.
Les wondered too. He decided not to
break the news that Lee was girl.
That would only excite further horror.
Les knew his parents and he knew
the other island owners. He knew
also he'd have to go slow and easy
