Editor Of Fashion Magazine
Lands Tastes Of u. S. Juniors
By Ruth Dean

Praise for the chance at self
expression in fashion trends and
tastes which the junior fashion
group In the United States enjoys
was voiced yesterday by Miss Maeve
Brennan, assistant editor of Junior
Bazaar.
The diminutive young editor,
daughter of the Irish Minister to
the United States, speaking before
a joint luncheon meeting of the
Womens Advertising Club Of WASH
ington and the Soroptimist Club
at the Willard Hotel, declared that
no such opportunities existed for
the younger fashion groups Of
European countries.
With the exception of France,
where a similar trend is beginning
she continued, European girls must
either copy their elders styles or
form their own independent groups
Dressed in dark green, which
complimented her Irish beauty and
speaking with charming Tilt, with
a slight trace of a brogue, she told
the gathering about the new fashion
magazine she helped to organize.
It is especially designed to reach
the 1921 age group, she said, and
through its feature articles, photog-
raphy, book and theater columns,
expresses the fashion desires of the
youth of today.
Successful Example Herself.
Miss Brennan is herself a sue
cessful example of the young people
for whom she writes. After taking
her library science degree at Catho-
lie University, she worked as a
librarian here until she decided,
three years ago, to find a writing
job in New York. Perseverance
won. She tried 80 different places
before she found a job as shopping
editor for Harpers Bazaar. which
she held until she was appointed
to her present position a year ago.
The majority of Junior Bazaar's s
staff is under n.
Accompanying Miss Brennan was
Miss Margaret Bradley. merchan-
dising editor Of Junior Bazaar. In
this first year of its existence, the
magazine has met many problems,
Miss Bradley said, first and most
important of which was to per-
suade merchants to create a style
that was neither too young nor toe
old.
The magazines editors were

PIER FOR YAcHTMEN

Through a proposal adj
yanced by county commits
sioners to construct a pier
off Caroline and GrinneH
streets was not considered
when the. budget was adopt
ed at a meeting Tuesday
night, yet such an improve
ment is exceedingly import
ant to the progress of Key
West.
The pier was to be con-
structed for the use of char
ter boats and yachts. Meth
err the city nor the county
has any such accommoda-
ton at present. Tourists,
who come here to go fishing.
could, if such a pier existed,
go there to board a charter
boat, and yachts, coming to
port, could berth there.
The commissioners reallZ-
ed that before they could
make an expenditure of that
type they would have to be
so authorized by a legisla-
tive enabling act.
Some residents of the
county entertained the view
that, as the pier would be
for the benefit of Key West,
it should be built by the city.
However that may be, a
pier of that type is essential
to the welfare of Key West
as a tourist center.
Probably it is out of the
question at present for the
city to make such an inn
provement because of the
shortage of money. For that
reason, it seems to us that
a yacht and charter boat
pier would be a well-paying
investment for private cap
ital.
"A year or so ago it was
proposed to use a site in the
Garrison Blight to build piers
for the accommodation of
yachtmen and charter boat
men. but just as soon as one
man asked for a concession,
a dispute arose, and the pro-
ject died a-borning.
1t was learned also that
many thousands of dollars
would have to be spent in
the blight for dredging pur-
poses. That would be an ex-
pense that would be mini
mized were a pier built off
the intersection of Caroline
and Grinnell streets.

COST RECORDS
ON SHIPS

While we are of the opin-
ion that the construction of
ships in this country, during
the war. should be thorough
ly investigated, we take the
opportunity to correct an
impression erroneo usly
created by earlier press re-
ports.
w. l.. Slattery, construc-
ton finance director, was
quoted as saying that the
Maritime Commission had
lost its records in regard to
the construction of more
than $900,000,000 worth of
ships and that purchases
could not be allocated. How
ever, he makes it plain that
he was referring to book
keeping records and that
resident auditors, in the var
ious shipyards, had control
of their records and that the
cost of the ships built will
be shown in a forthcoming
report.
In connection with the
charges of waste and ex-
travagance" that arise in
connection with the tremen-
dous production of war ma
terial. one should remember
that the urgent need for
haste justified expenditures
that. i'm normal times, would
have been absurd. After all,
the nation was trying to
build ships faster than they
were being sunk" and costs
were, of necessity, of secon-
Diary Importance.
