We, the Women—
Add to Fullness of Living;
Savor Each Pleasant Moment
By RUTH MILLETT
ITS a pleasure: To meet a man who is genuinely proud of his wife and not afraid ‘to show it.
To hear one woman praise another—without adding
any small, belittling remark.
To see § woman on the street or in a store, being patient and pleasant with a child, instead of jerking him \ along and speaking to him in an exasperated tone of voice. To hear a woman accept a compliment with gracious poise, instead of letting false modesty persuade here to » deny it. Ruth Millett To see an older woman with a face the years have softened, rather than hardened. To hear a good-natured, hearty 1augh. To find a salesperson who seems interested in finding you what you want, rather than trying to sell you something

HE CHASE is on for ‘Mrs. Bettie Lou Shaffer, 1112 Pleasant St. In between chasing toys for her 19-month-old son, Michael, she chases people for clients, Last Tuesday she became the first amd only woman to receive a license in the state of Indiana to work as a private detective and operate a detective agency,
u on n : HOW DID ALL THIS start? Mrs. Shaffer followed her serviceman husband, Reginald, during the last war, In 8an Francisco she worked as a cashier in the glove department of a large store. Bonuses were offered for catching shoplifters. “T- spent my lunch hours watching for people who tried to leave the store with mer-
chandise,” she said. “One week I made so much extra the store said it would be cheaper to put me in the protection department.” 4 From that point on Mrs. Shaffer took three or four months training - and received
her “star” from the San Francifco Police Department. This gave her the power to work as a store detective to work within the store which hired her.
u ” nu WHEN HER HUSBAND was
transferred, she went along, continuing her work as a store detective in both Tacoma,
Washington and here in Indianapolis. She also worked in a local detective agency, making her experience total eight and one-half vears, ."An eight week investigation of both character and experjence bythe state police,” said Mrs. Shaffer, “and my license fee is what it took to get in business.” “We hope to concentrate on industrial cases and leave domestic cases alone,” she reported. “This would include such investigations as job applicants and thefts in business concerns.” . Including Mrs. Shaffer and her husband, who has another full-time job, the new agency will consist of five men and three women. - Four of these will be fulltime employees and the six re-
maining will be part-time em- _
ployees. (By J. 8.)

Dream for Future
F YOURE undecided about a career, try it out. That's the technique used by 16-year-old June Ann Barnes, 1333 Dukane St. She thinks she wants to be a decorator, but she!s not certain. So, to test her hand, she's begun a long range plan to redecorate her family's house. Most important on her list is the living room. A smartly styled one will provide a place to entertain her friends and
- glve parties. : item on her agenda
First were . the walls. She covered them with a soft, dark green, the ceiling in a lighter shade. Woodwork is a spanking white. She expects to add gray drapes later on.
Since their house is small, June Ann will do her parents’ room in another shade of green, thus achieving a @o-ordinated effect. Her room will be yellow because it's her favorite color. - » ®n WOOD GRAIN PAPER and some with a school book motif will share walls in her sisters’ room. Food preparation and dining, both of which take place in one room, will be separated with a kitchen bar. The table will be on one side, cooking equipment on another. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Barnes, June Ann is a

Next year she is looking forward to a home decorating course at high school. In the future will be college. When she finishes her current experiment, she’ll know what her course is to be. (By J. T. 8.)
