brush aside all pretense, and strike at

look like her pictures. o photo-1
grapher could catch the youthful
twinkle 111 her eves, register the sun
shine of her snide, or make you feel
the gracious warmth ol her personal

interview to a weekly newspaper
proves beyond doubt the latter state
ment. To get her to talk about her work
is very easy, but. to learn of her recog
nition in the newspaper world is an
other story. Had the writer not fol
