Dial 3551 Heath Drug Store Mrs. Willkie Likes to Chat But Won't Discuss Politics By Adelaide Kerr AP Feature Service Writer Mrs. Wendell Willkie is a woman's woman. She likes women and women seem to like her. And, Judging from work wom en have done already in his be half, she thinks they could swing Wendell Willkiei elec tion to the presidency. She said so at her first New York reception after her hus band's nomination, but she didn't say so publicly. Mrs. Will kie makes no public statements on political subjects. She said so in quiet agreement to a question, and then turned quickly back to greet the Republican women filing by. A Good Time They streamed past at a tea given in a friend's home, when she was the focal point of hun dreds of curious eyes. She seem ed to be having a good time and so did the women who came to see her. A quick smile and hand clasp, and then a pause and words spilling out in a friendly stream. "Hello, my dear. How's John?" "Helen, how nice to see you and what a pretty frock!" I felt that, if there had been a little more time, she might have stopped to exchange a recipe. But she talked no politics. She parried every leading ques tion neatly and retreated with grace, determination and a smile to safer, more inconsequential ground. Edith Willkie is a little worn man, slender as a girl. Her smil ing gray-blue eyes are set in a face that is wide at the cheek bones, slightly pointed at the chin and framed in short, softly curled, silver-tinged hair. On the afternoon of the recep tion she wore a simple dark blue crepe frock, whose wide rippling white collar was anchored with Meeting Enjoyed At Wortman Home Mrs. H. G. Wortman was host ess Thursday afternoon to W. C. T. U. members and several guests. President Mrs. Minnie Bryant announced that the na tional W. C. T. U. convention is in session in Chicago, and that the state president, Mrs. Necia Buck, will visit Jackson county organization in Septem ber and report on the national meetings. A nominating committee was appointed to obtain new officers for the coming year. Mrs. Eva Low, Dr. Susie Standard and Mrs. Ida Wilson. Mrs. George Tucker conduct ed an impressive devotional ser vice, taking rs her topic "The Loveliness of Christ." Miss Janet Trill was enloyed In two solos. "Where the River Shannon Flows" and "My Lit tle Gray Home in the West." Guests speaker was Mrs. Don Nugent from southern Japan. Mrs. Nugent and her .husband are visiting Mrs. Nugent's moth er, Mrs. Carrie Young, and her sister, Mrs. Arthur Short. She gave an interesting talk on the customs and ways of living in Japan and showed many articles illustrative of Japanese art. Next meeting will be held September 12 at the home of Dr. Susie Standard, when offi- j cers will be elected and reports made of the year's work. j Get-Together Club Meeting Get-Toeether club will meet at the home of Yetta Flowers. 112 East 12th street. Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock for a busi ness session. Art Class to Meet Thursday Jackson County Art class held itS meetlllS ThlimdaV aflornnnn at the home of Mrs. Irene Pease on Haven street. Fourteen were present. The next meetinfl will he an event of August 15 at the home of Miss Gertrude Sullivan. 619 Columbus avenue from 2 to 4 o'clock. a flower corsage and topped by a neat little chapeau crowned with white violets. Something about the tilt of that hat said, "Edith Willkie likes pretty clothes." But something she said to a friend seemed to indicate that she feels clothes aren't worth too much fuss, either. "Will I get a lot of new clothes for the trip we hope to take be fore the campaign? I doubt if I'll have time. I'll probably just have to telephone some shop and tell the salesgirl to send up what I want in size twelve. It gener ally fits." Enough Food and Sleep Mrs. Willkie gives her time to her husband, her home, her son, Phillip, who is twenty. She spends much of it, since her hus band's nomination, in superin tending his borne schedule and seeing that he gets the right food and enough sleep. She keeps a friendly, homey atmo sphere in the roomy, book-filled apartment on upper Fifth ave nue, where the Willkies live. The Republican women who help her handle the bushel-bas kets of mail that pour in these days say that if they don't watch her, she is likely to wait on those who are there to help in stead of letting them wait on her. The other day, when they were having a hasty lunch, she disappeared into the kitchen and came back with a tray of iced orange juice because she thought they "might like a cool drink." But she gets time for other things. She reads a lot of eco nomics and her friends wonder if she isn't a help to Wendell Willkie in keeping him primed on events and on reading for which he has no time. Be that as it may, they say, she has follow ed every step of his career. They suspect she may be one person to whom Willkie's nomination as the Republican presidential candidate came as no surprise. Canton Members Enjoy Meeting Canton and Ladies' Auxiliary Siskiyou No. 16, I.O.O.F., met in Joint session in the I.O.O.F. hall with Major W, T.
