MA. Mamie, a bright-eyed,
pretty brunette is q serious
student at the Corcoran
School Of Commercial Art.
Both girls went to Europe
last summer, hired q car and
drove all over It in three and
a half months, spending q
whole month in Rome. their
favorite place.
Did they remember the
time that Jacqueline Bowler,
CIV. graduate and inquiring
photographer for the Wash
ington Times-Herald, inter-
viewed them on their way
home from school?
"Oh, we will never forget
her!" they exclaimed prac-
tically in unison. They were
babes in the woods, said
Ellen, meaning back In the
fall Of 1852 at ages IL and
10, respectively, they had no
idea that the pretty young
girl who picked them up on
the street outside of school
was a reporter.
"She invited us to get into
a car. but we wouldn't do 1t.
We did know that much be-
cause that was one thing our
parents had always told US
that we should never get
into a strangers car"
Obviously the 23-year-old
Jackie was going to give them
a lift home and interview
them en- route. But when the
two girls declined the offer,
she walked along beside
them, they said, and the car,
with someone driving it, fol-
lowed.
The rest Of that occurrence
is history. Jackie got Q full
length story in the news
paper on the two young girls
reactions to the forthcoming
inaugural Of their uncle as
President Of the United
States, and so forth-a story
she charmingly illustrated
with her own pen-apd-ink
drawings, and the girls'never
again talked to strangers on
the street.
But Ellen. now only q year
younger than Miss Bowler
was then, was not about to
appear critical Of the First
Lady. 81 think she's lovely"
she said.

PHREY was telling two Of
