THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE DECEMBER 91 5. 12, 1 She’s a Regular Travelmg Saleswoman, but Fdna Ferber must have had some one like Miss Norma Esterson of New York City in mind when she created Emma McChesney. Miss Rstersgn, who 1s stop ping at the Hotel Fontenlle this week, 18 a traveling saleswoman for a New York house, Not at all masculine is she, despite her calling. Indeed, this attractive little per- son is a most dainty beauty, with the bluest of evesa, complexion like a roseleaf and in appearance reminds you of noth much as the latest edition of “Vogue." radiates that optimism, ®ood humor and efficiency which made Emma MecChesney one of the most lov able types ever penned Can you imagine a hotel room strewn Wwith trunl and bags of Infants’ wear, lounging robes, negligees, etc., and in the midst of all this little Miss Estherson holding forth an infant's siip in one hand and'a pair of wee socks in the other, spouting reams of Omar Khayyam! Oh, make the most of what ye yet may apend Before we, t0o, Into the dust descend; Dust unto' dust and under dust to lie, Sans wine, sans song, sans singer and sans end. When not quoting from the Persian bard Miss Esterson is humming snatches from opera or reading from some other poet. She confesses she has not yet re- covered from a girlish attack of being stage-struck, and at one time she took instruction in dramatic art and volce culture In one of Charles Frohman's classes. Miss Hsterson just hes and fineries “Isn’'t this & darling?" she asked, dis playing a wonderful black chiffon velvet evening gown with a luxurious evening wrap to match, trimmed with white fox furs. “And len't this a perfect duck of a hat?” referring to a jaunty white vel- vet toque. Chocolates are passed and then tea is served—a typically feminine afternoon call, as you see. Picture the rude awakening then when this feminine Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde leaps back into her other personality and breaking into ecstacles over her “line,” proceeds to quote prices and dozens and lots with as much facility as a stock ticker and with fully as much grace as if she were still reciting poetry. Then she will hold forth at great length on the opportunities extant for ambitious business girls, in a most militant man- ner, you would swear, if you did not seo her in the act. ‘I can't imagine why more girls do not take up traveling salesmanship. It's all bosh about the hard life. There are first-class hotels all over now and the average business girl who goes down town each day has more to contend with than the girl on the road,” she says. Miss Esterson has been coming to C=aha for nine years mow and boasts many friends in the city. dotes on pretty L York, who are on thelr way west, were guests of Dr, and Mrs. J, F.
