Emerson told her the other night, quite frankly and in a pleasant sort | of way, that the only person he's ever Noved, ever can love, is Yvonne. Janet ix really miserable. She's; of course, broken-hearted over losing Emerson— over the realization that never again can she even hope to attract him. |But she's equally miserable over <omething else.

He's yvoung enough just now to be attracted by a pretty face with nothing behind it. He's young enough to be led away by dimples and a beéwitching smile.” So are many boys whom both Janet and Yvonne know. But the hoys grow older, and even though they may never develop into great brains, they begin to have a hankering for some- thing more than starry eyes. They do, really. They begin to be faintly interested in a girl who knows how to listen and to ask intelligent questions ever so often. When they meet one who combines her fair share of looks with an aver- age brain they're rather apt to con- sider that they're pretty lucky. And ring fallen for this type of young woman, it will take an awful lot of work for a baby doll to walk away with their affections.

It was not easy work, as many wounded were brought to the Barr: Hospital from overseas, and “Captain” Brueggeman was on call night and day, even sleeping withya telephone beside her so that emergency calls would come through directly to her. While she was still in the midst of winding up the corps’ affairs, Wiil Hays, at that time chairman of the Republican - national committee, broadcast the word to have each State, for the first time, appoint a committeewoman. Missouri was the one State to elect, rather than ap- point, and Mrs” Brueggeman nomi- nated from the floor, without either her owledge or consent heforehand, was overwhelmingly chosen commit- teewoman. She left the same night for New York State to study meth- ods of party organization there. With that much training, Mrs. Brueggeman went back to Missourd, organized the Republican women of the State, went as delegate-at-large to the National Convention that nominated Mr. Harding, and several times made trips to Marion to r port progress to him. In the Summer of 1921, she was vacationing in New Jei when she from the White House, asking her to come to Washington at once to become a Commissioner for FEm- ployes’ Compensation.
