The trouble is, Mrs. Dean, L re-
member you as a housewife, with two
lovely daughter, and now | find you
here, as busy as any person can be,
heading this staff at Mr.. Calloway's
headquarters. | know they keep you
busy, but when did you become inter-
ested in politics?", | asked.
Il enjoy it, but as you say, | do
have two daughters, and as any per-
son knows, they keep me quite busy.
| suppose you know Mrs. Madeline
Harold, well, she is the one who is
to blame for nv interest in this kind
of work. Mrs. Harold is a State In
spector of Beauty Shops, and when To-
qether. we talk politics with as much
interest as anyone, Mrs. Dean answ-
cred.
What do you think about women
in politics?" | asked.
|" can only say one thing abou that.
| believe every man and woman over
t%wenty-one should not only be interest
ed in politics, but our government.
and the men and women who run our
government, local, state and national.
1t is just important as being a house
wife, or being a good mother, and if
a woman is not a housewife or a mo
Their, 1t is just as important for her TO
be interested, because, after all, we all
live here, and all of us should exercise
our privilege of being able to choose
the form OF government or the candi-
Gate we wish to represent us, Keeping
and protecting that which we have
that is good, and making new laws that
are needed to insure the rights of all.
| relaxed after those few words and
made a vow that no one will ever be
able to tell me that beauty and brains
did not go together.
How do you feel toward choosing
Mr.. Galloway as the Fifth Districts
State SenatOr?", | asked, quite inter
ested myself by now.
For the people who nave lived in
Omaha for years, you don't have TO
talk for Mr.. Galloway. He has always
been an outstanding man of our race.
No man running in this district is n
more qualified to represent the major
ity OF the people than Mr.. Galloway.
answered Mrs. Dean.
Il can see now why Mr.. Galloway
chose you to head his staff. Who are
the other two secretaries? / asked.
Mrs. Dean introduced me to the "
busy young ladies. Mrs. Nettie Ross
and Mrs. Alberta Henderson were wor-
king as if they we're enthused by wor-
king for Mr.. Galloway too.
III have to give it to you, Mrs.
Dean, you certainly know your Job,
and if | ever run for d~og-catcher or
something, | hope you will be on my
side, l said.
As | was tipping this column a young
lady came into the Office of the Guide.
Mr.. Galloway was not in so | began a
conversation with the charming Miss.
Il am typing a column for the Oma-
ha Guide. Dou you read the Omaha
Guide?', | asked.
Sometimes | do but not always,
she answered.
Would you like to have me write
something about you?", | querried.
"Oh, yes, I'd like that, answered
she.
| talked with the young lady for a
few minutes, getting as much inform
alton as | could, and told her to read
next weeks Omaha Guide and she.
would see her name in the paper.
Miss Dolores Coodlett, 2212 No. q
Ave. was the young lady who wanted
to see her name in the paper. She
told me about all of her nicknames

and SC ~manyothers | cannot remember.
1t is true she is only about FIVE feet
high, but she makes up for that by
being witty. and charming, in her man.
