Blonde, blue eyed, attractive and definitely not the type the world usually associates tvith the more advanced problems in chemical research, Mrs. Linkletter was professionally serious about her career. "Oh, I'm no war baby," she said when asked if she intended to pursue her calling after the war. "I have been interested in chemistry all my life. I was a trained chemist before the war, and I expect to continue in the profession after the war. I like it." She said she could not remember when the idea of chemistry as a career first took possession of her. It was when other little girls in her native city of Montreal were planning careers as nurses, teachers, motion-picture actresses and what-not that she first announced to an astonished family that she intended to be a chemist. "My mother was not sure I knew what the word meant," she laughed, "nor did she know where tlie inspiration came from, for I had no relatives or family friends in the profession."

She attended McGill University, where she took advantage of the opportunities afforded women students for exceptionally good scientific training, but, she said, she would have persisted in her determination even if there had been little encouragement from the faculty. Later she went to Columbia University tor a master's degree in chemistry, and that led directly to her first job in the textile testing laboratory of Montgomery Ward. She left that to engage in research chemistry with the Inter-Chemical Corporation, where she went to work on the problem of finding a synthetic drying oil for paints, to take the place of tung oil, Olive-Sue Ransom Linkletter formerly imported from China and now unobtainable because of the war.

'NDER this caption the April issue of Home Beautiful lauds Mrs. Edward Palmer (Mary Ellen Trezise, Syracuse '42), bride of a naval officer, for the results she achieved on a budget of $265.03 in furnishing and decorating her New York apartment. On a shoestring budget, with used furniture, new fabrics, undaunted enthusiasm and brainwork she developed an anchorage while her naval husband comes and goes in line of duty. He says he will never forget the newness and charm of the rooms as he opened the door of the apartment for the first time. And

^M^^ - Mrs. Palmer so enjoyed the scouring of second hand shops and remnant counters that her one regret is that she can't do it all over again. Every article was carefully decided upon; she had no hesitancy in ripping up an upholstered piece, scraping or painting good wood if the lines warranted it, in slip-covering others. She became a past-master in rebuilding furniture. For instance the coffee table is a combination of an old gilt picture frame, beautifully carved which cost one dollar, a mirror at the same price and a discarded bench at $2.50. She painted bench and frame white, fitted the mirror into the frame and nailed the frame to the bench. The living room was furnished for a total of $133.88; the bedroom for $92.63; the foyer for $22.25 and sundries such as kapok and paint, $16.27. Mrs. Palmer while at Syracuse University was chosen beauty queen of many campus events, including winter carnival and a junior beauty. A journalism student, she was secretary to Dean Lyle M. Spencer.

Quieen At Wittenlber|

OhE can sing, she can dance, she's an honor student; she is daintily feminine and active in sports; she can be serious in her conversation or humorously enter taining; she is friendly, idealistic, popular and com mands the respect of seniors, sophomores, juniors, freshmen. Do you wonder Margaret Pabst is held as the model college girl by her sisters at Wittenberg college? A member of the Wittenberg choir, Margaret also reigned as Alma Mater Queen, the highest honor for a co-ed at Wittenberg. At commencement two women were chosen to give commencement orations, Margaret and another member of Alpha Nu chapter, Marian Cutler. Margaret has graduated but the under classmen of our chapter are still under the spell of the "Marge" Pabst touch. 1) 1) 7> �Edna Riely

'28, whose novel, "Young Man With A Horn," was in the best seller class in 1938, is the author of a new novel, "Trio," off the Houghton Mifflin press in July and which has won high tribute from critic Clifton Fadi- man of The New Yorker magazine. He says that the short novel or extra long story has been neglected by American writers and that among contemporary authors "only John Steinbeck, Willa Gather, Thorn ton Wilder, Conrad Ritcher and a few others have succeeded with it. To this brief list we can now add Dorothy Baker who will be remembered for her bril " liant 'Young Man With A Horn.' He mentions the author's supreme craftsmanship, calls its form beauti ful and the book admirable. Mrs. Baker is the wife of Prof. Howard Baker of the Harvard faculty.
