„NEW YORK WIDOW
WILLING TO COMFORT
LONESOME ALASKAN
Has anyone a cute little bow and
arrow and an extra pair of wings to
loan our genial postmaster, Mr. Schef
fler? For the role of Cupid has been
thrust upon him, and he is determined
to make good. A lonely lady in far
away New York wants him to hunt her
up a pal of the masculine persuasion
here in our Northland. This is what
she writes:
“New York City, May 7, 1920.
“To the Worthy Postmaster of Cor
dova, Alaska.
“Dear Sir:
“Will you please hand this letter
to some one that might be interested
in it? I have just read an article in
4 the Ladies’ Home Journal for May,
which I am interested in. I am writ
ing letters to several places mentioned
in the article, in hopes of interesting
some man in Alaska interested in me
if possible. I started to Alaska several
years ago. got as far as Seattle, but
was called back by the death of my
sister. However, I stayed in Seattle
some little time.
“The great Northwest has always
had a warm spot in my heart. If any
man would be interested in a good
♦ woman and would answer this letter,
I would be pleased to hear from him.
“I am a widow, 44 years old, with
no encumbrances; am a first class
cook and housekeeper. No grouch!
A good, jolly pal from good old Amer
ican stock, raised in Pennsylvania. I
have a very jolly disposition. I meet
the world as it meets me, and am not
looking for things that never happen.
p Now, if any one is interested, answer
this letter and find a good, true pal.
“Yours truly, -•”
Letters addressed “Lonely Widow,”
in care of the postmaster at Cordova,
will be forwarded. Who will help Mr.
Scheffler earn his wings?
BLACKIES’ REDEMPTION
TO BE ATTRACTION AT
EMPRESS ON SUNDAY
Showing again tonight as the Em
press is “The Four Flusher,” featur
ing Hale Hamilton. A good story
cleverly pointing the moral that bluff
may be the greatest thing in the game
but that if, back of the bluff, you
have some old-fashioned industry,
•brains and ability, you are more sure
to correctly spell that little word “suc
cess.”
Sunday night only, another of the
fascinating Boston Blackie stories,
“Blackie’s Redemption,” with Bert
Lytell in the title role. Nine people
out of ten have read and enjoyed the
Blackie stories, and Bert Lytell is
without equal in the portrayal of the
gentleman crook. Blackie proves that
it takes brain to be a good crook, also
that the sense of humor is as keen in
the underworld as anywhere else.
In this play, he is “framed up” on
the eve of his marriage, and sentenced
to twenty years. His thrilling escape
leads to an exciting and unexpected
climax. Mr. Lytell is seen at his best,
and gives a performance which sur
passes anything he has hitherto ac
complished.
A Pathe News and a travel picture
complete the program.
"DRY” COUNTRY
HELPS THEATRES
CLEVELAND, June 5 (by Associat
ed Press).—The theatrical business
has increased fifty per cent since the
country went “dry,” according to John
Cort of New York, one of the coun
try’s leading producers, on a recent
visit to Cleveland. He declared that
the dry era staved off a disastrous
period for the theatrical world.

BOY SCOUTS ARE BUSY
WITH THEIR PLANS
FOR SUMMER OUTINGS
Last evening the Boy Scouts of
Cordova met on the beach near their
cabin and finished caulking their noat
and now it is ready for the pitch and
paint. It is expected to have the pitch
on this afternoon so that a little cruise
can be enjoyed this evening for an
overnight camp. The local scouts are
handicapped in not having good roads
to travel over like the scouts outside.
They either have to go by rail or
water if they want to go out on a
camp or hike. But we are thankful
to the Hillery Scott Company for a
boat which solved one of those trans
| portation problems. After the boat
work was done they had a meeting in
which they unanimously voted to ex
Dooley
for his services in training the boys
on the drums and also voted to ask
him to continue his services in behalf
of the scout drum corps.
A vote of thanks was also given to
Mr. Wilson of the bakery for his kind
ness in giving the drum corps boys a
little spread in the way of pastry.
Some of the scouts went for a trip
to Eyak river bridge and used two
boats while on their trip without gain
ing permission from the parties own
ing them. They, however, want to
thank Dr. Council for the use of his
boat and the U. S. radio for the use
of a bot.
Taking things without gaining per
mission is a violation of the Boy Scout
law and the boys that took the trip
will not be allowed to go on a trip
again without adult supervision of one
of the scout officials, unless they are
passing a first class test in hiking and
observation, which includes a four
teen mile trip.
Application blanks for associate
membership have not been received
yet, but if not received on the next
boat some will be printed here and a
drive made June 20 to June 27, inclu
sive.

BLOUSES FOR SPRING WEAR
Over Garments to Accompany New
Tailleurs May Be # Constructed
From Tricolette.
To accompany the charming new
spring tailleurs there are the most de
lightful blouses of tricolette. All the
lovely pastel shades, too, are being
worn, with perhaps a preference for
the new parrot green. And, by the
way, not in many seasons has any
color been taken up so quickly as the
spring shades of green. But then there
are those soft shades of rose, French
blue, violet gray, raspberry, orange,
cream, sand and apricot.
These unusual blouses assume the
lines of the Balkan model and are of
hip-length, with short sleeves and
round neck. The blouse is sometimes
made into a broad band at the hips
and puffed over gracefully. One trico
lette blouse in this style chos'e green
for its color and trimmed the neck and
sleeves with bands of cut steel beads.
“The overblouse to be smart must
be simple and have good lines,” says
one authority, and that’s why these
new, tricolette blouses are among the
leading models of the season. A stun
ning blouse to accompany a suit of
gray duvetyn was developed in rasp
berry colored tricolette. It was a
basque effect with round neck and
brief kimono sleeves. Odd motifs of
wool in various colors graced the front
and lent not a little charm to the silky
fabric.
Hats of BlacK Lace.
Hats of black lace, with and with
out straw, malines^ or tulle, are much
in evidence. Many—in fact most—of
these hats are on the large picture
