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.

JACKSON COUNTY FEDERAL
Drama Editor
Lauds Opening
Play Performance
Ashland and the sixth annual
Shakespearean Festival now in
progress in the Lithia city's'oub
door civic Elizabethan theatre,
drew much favorable comment
from one of Portland's outstand
ing dramatic critics, Harold
Hunt, drama editor on the Ore
gon Journal who flew here late
last week for the showings of
"The Merry Wives of Windsor"
and "Much Ado About Nothing"
Friday and Saturday nights. .
Leaving again for Portland to
day via United Airlines. Hunt
expressed unreserved favorable
comment on these two produc
tions and re-affirmed his enthu
siasm of the festival as a whole.
He declared that the presenta
tion of these two plays definite
ly equalled the performances of
professional players and said
that southern Oregon should be
justly proud of the accomplish
ments of festival production
heads.
This marks the third year that
Hunt has attended the produc
tions. Although hesitant at first.
he has become one of the
staunchest supporters of the fes
tival and is publicizing the pro
ductions throughout the north
west.
He declared that while he was
sorry he could not remain over
for the showings of 'The Com
edy of Errors'' and "As You
Like It ", he was here last year
for these two shows. His south
ern Oregon excursions are be
coming a tradition with the fes
tival and he gave production
heads the assurance that he
would be back again next season
for the plays.
