FAY KING DOLLS UP AND GETS GLAD GLANCE FROM OWN GANG "' By Fay Klag (Mm Kief is a Portland fir), whou fint new paper work til published in The Journal f rnl yeaji tax Sh now is located in New York.) Getting into a New York news paper office is as tough a getting back stage at a theatre. The stage door keeper has noth ing on the guy in the reception room of the paper who hands you the little slip to address to the one you want to see and say what you want to see him about. The re porter is supposed to come out there and talk to you. I think the wives of ths good-lookin' news hounds started the stunt, but It not only keeps the reporter safe from the wiles of wild women but bars out collectors and pests. So it ain't often a swell-lookl!! dame is breezin' loose around the office, and when one does It la only natural that she should get a lot of looking over. Occasionally some beauteous blonde that Is lass-suelng some old bird for fifty thousand for breach of promise shows up, and every now and then some swagger soubrette shows up, but It ain't often. Of all the?walks in life there Isn't any other where men and women mean less to each other as men-and women than in the news , paper game. We're just all scoop scouts and pals ! So it was a mean trick when I dolled up in my new Spring bon net and sat over in a corner with my back to the gang, and the single fellows (the married ones kept right on, punching their type writers) sat. up and took notice and started making excuses to come over and get more copy paper, which was stacked over near me. Maybe you think I didn't get a laugh to hear them grunt with disappoint ment when they took a look around under the hat and saw it was "just Fay." I gave them all a merry hello, which is equivalent to a merry ha! ha! The first two or three of the boys didn't Up the gang off, but the fourth one did, so I'll never know whether any of the married guys would have noticed "the dame" or not. But nobody's wife was ever Jeal ous of me that's one of the regrets I have In life. Not, of course, that I would flirt with anybody's hus band, but just the same it ain't much of a compliment to have all the wives you know tell you to keep an eye on their husbands while they're out of town ! Takes all the kick out of your tye, don't it, I ask you? Company Will Drill For Oil Near Astoria; Shale Found in City Astoria, Feb. 27.
