| lust Between
Yourselves .
BY Philip Fl. Love

| Nearly three years ago, Eleanor
Mill, l5-year-old student of Rich
ard Montgomery High School, Rock
vile, Md, wrote an article for The
Junior Star on her hobby, designing
clothes for women and children.
The contribution, which won a prize
OF 81, was accompanied by an IL
lustration that included several of
her dress designs.
1t Is always interesting to me to
learn what happens to j. S. re-
porters, poets and artists as they
grow up, and a pleasing number of
them keep in touch-in person If
they're in town, by mail If they're
elsewhere. Until just the other day,
however, Eleanor hadn't been heard
from since September 81, 1912, the
Sunday her article appeared.
! Well, she's finished high school
,now - graduated from Richard
Montgomery in June-and, instead
OF going on to college, she plans
to continue her study of art. The
day she dropped into the J. S.
office, she still hadn't decided what
art school she'll enter this fall,
but she was leaning toward Balti-
more's Maryland Institute.
The drawing with which she posed
for the picture on the right isn't
supposed to represent any one in
particular. but the photographer
thought it a self-portrait. 1t was
natural mistake, I think, be-
cause the sketch does look a great
IDEAL like the artist All artists
unconsciously tend to draw them
selves when not trying for a like
ness of some one else.
Eleanor works in pencil, crayon,
pen-and-ink, oil, pastel and water
celors. At ID, she still likes, to
design clothes, but her art work
isn't confined to that-she's equally
interested in portraits, illustrations
and cartoons. So far, she has SUBJ
mitted cartoons to only one maya
zine; then, instead of the usual
printed rejection slip, she received
letter from the editor, asking
her to let him see more of her
work.
Ever since I was about years
old, I've enjoyed sketching people
in various attitudes" Eleanor re-
calls. When I was IL, I drew
"a cover for my Sunday school paper
My interest changed at Is, though,
and I tried my luck with cartoons.
When I reached my 18th birthday,
started taking lessons at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. 1t is the
finest art school / have ever at
tended Before that, I watched
my mother, who is an artist"
Junior jottings: Another J. S.
old-timer heard from recently was
Margie Moore, who wrote from
Roosevelt High School back in
1889 Shed been working in a
New York war plant and stopped
off in Washington on her way to
another job. D.. When little Shirley
Ann Lewis, 5479 Thirtieth street
NV, went away on her vacation
she left her dog, Boots, with her
uncle and aunt, Mrs. Joseph La
Grippa, 2814 RittenhouSe street
NV. She must have missed her
pet very much, for she wasn't gone
long before a letter came to her
relatives home, addressed to Miss
Boots Lewis" Caddying at the
Chevy Chase Club recently, Dick
Murphy, Woodrow Wilson High
School, heard some one say, There's
Bob Hope!" He ran over to the
comedian, showed a golf score card
and a pencil into his hand, and
requested an autograph. Why,
sure, son." the actor responded,
writing big Bob Hope" just above
where the card said Replace
| divots."
