By Frances Lide

Descendant of a we'll known
pioneering family of Southwest
Virginia. Miss nellie L. Ingels. who
retires Friday from the Federal
Power Commission, can claim al
little pioneering Of her own.
Prominently identified with sew
eral clubs in Washington, Miss
Ingels was the first woman to re-
ceive a professional rating at the
FPC when she joined the legal
staff in 1884.
Earlier she had worked for the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
where for some years she was the
only woman in section of 30
attorneys in the Bureau Of Valua-
ton.
Always interested in the profess
sional advancement of members
of her sex, Miss Ingels served as
chairman of the Committee on
the Legal and Economic Status
of Women of the Washington
Branch, American Association of
University Women, about 10 years
ago. She also has been active in
the District Business and Profess
sional Women'S Club, of which
she is a former president.
A pioneering spirit is natural
enough for this descendant of
Mary Draper Ingels, who holds a
prominent place in the annals OF
Southwest Virginia.
The Draper and Ingles families
established the settlement in
Montgomery County, Va. known
as Draper's Meadows - now the
site of Blacksburg. Mary Draper's
marriage to william Ingles was
said to be the first wedding of
white couple west Of the Ale
ghenies.
In 1755, Mary Draper 1ngles-
then 23-was captured by the
Shawnee Indians at the time of
the Draper's Meadows massacre.
Carried to Ohio, she escaped at a
point south of what is now Gin
cinnati and her slow, hazardous
return. on foot. across the noun
tains is a story that makes q
thrilling chapter in the Ingels
family history. (The name has
been spelled Ingles, Ingels and
otherwise in various places by de-
scendants. Miss Ingels explainedJ
A native of Greenville. H., Miss
Ingels keeps up her contact with
the Ingles family at Radford. Va.
They still have 1000 acres OF
the original family land on the
west bank of the New River at
Radford," she pointed out.

Illinois. Miss Ingels came to

Only those who are convalescent

the small orchestra from the

Coffee will be served with the
other delicacies of the tea hour
as coffee is more popular with

where can market hand

appears consistently in letters in
this departments mail bag.
Prompted by such queries. we
wrote several stories on the sub
ject some months ago. Interviews
with many dealers convinced us
that the question asked was a
wrong one. The important ques-
ton is not Where" but How
to sell your product.
For. the woman who sells her
work successfully must be a busi-
ness wornan-She must conduct
the marketing of her product in a
business-like way, rather than
simply deciding to add to the fam
lily income by selling handWork
regardless of the demand for the
work.
In her new publication, where

Dorothy Glazer not only lists out

Today's crinolines are quite a
bit different from the bulky and
heavy ones that were popular
during the 1850s and later on.
First of all, they're lots safer
.(old-time crinolines were very
inflammable), and they don't
pick up the dirt Of the streets.
Yet today's crinolines are help
full in the same way they were
many long years ago, making
waistlines look timer and a dress
"just plain prettier."
Crinolines came about as an
answer to voluminous petticoats
during the mid-'50s of the last
century. In 1862 the round
crinolines took on another shape,
being flattened in front with
fullneSs to the back. Women of
all ages and groups wore crino-
lines. However, mid-Victorian
women were gradually easing
themselves out Of many cum
bersome styles. Crinolines be-
gan to give way to skirts that
were smoother on the hips and
by the latter part of the decade
crinolines were beginning to
lose popularity.
Early crinolines also bounced"
and because of this were respon-
sible for the introduction of
elaborate and brilliantly con-
trasting petticoats worn for
SHOW" underneath. Besides
providing color on this score,
