Those who have thought them- selves "disillusioned" by such leg- ends may take comfort from thc truth. Dorothy DIX @1088 BXi-‘lll The name is a pseudonym, bllt thc person and personality behind it are real. Dorothy Dix is u tiny. gray-haired, charming little lady w true name is Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer. ‘tho ivritfi her own column and answers he!‘ own letters every day just as she has since 1898. and whose hear‘. is in her work. Why there should be any Infra- e a mystery. Surely it is ' own making. Just as Dorothy Dix public has no secrets from her. she has none from it. Sh»: sees anyone who wants to interview her. Her conversation is a con- nected narrative, a sort of a thumbnail autobiography, inter- spersed with bits of humor which make her bright eyes twinklc and with anecdotes sparkling with in- trinsic interest. as one would ex- pect from a famous reporter. Behind the advice which Dorothy Dix gives to others lie not onlv her forty-six years of experience but a personal life with its trials and tragedy and problems. Dorothy Dix was born Elizabeth Meriwether, on the boundary line between Kentucky and Tennes- see. The Civll War, or- War Be- tween Mason and Dixon line. had ended only five years beforc. The Meriwethers. like all landed. leis- ured families of the old South. were impoverished. They could not afford to send their children away to school. and there were few educational facilities- at home. Elizabeth Meriwether had little formal education. but she substi- tuted an appetite for good lhcoks and read incessantly. The educa- tional result. as was later demons- trated. was most satisfactory. A CAREER IS BORN-AND A NAME At twenty, Elizabeth Meri- wether married George O Gilmer. ‘ What should have inaugurated a tranquil, uneventful southern home life proved instead to precipitate a crisis such as few girls ill-sl- llll of their teens are called upon to overcome. Within a year George Gilmer was afflicted’ with sa’ men- tlil ailment. He never recovered from it. but he lived on for thirty- iive years, and during all that time Mrs. Gilmer supported and nursed him. ' The first two years were the hardat. Young Mrs. Giimer. un- accustomed to crisis. cracked und- cr the strain, and her family tank her for a rest to a little resort on the Gulf of Mexico. "Our next-door neighbor there was Mrs. Nicholson. who publish- ed the New Orleans Picayune." Mrs. Gilmer recalls. “It was un- usual, then, for a woman to be a newspaper publisher, nut Mrs. Nicholson was an unusual wo- man. When her husband died she went into the Picayune office, sat down at his big desk, and carried .. on. Impressed by a short story Mrs. Gilmer had written, her publish- er-neighbor offered her a job on the Picayune. The Job was accept- ed, and. within a few years Mrs. Gilmer became a Sunday col- umnist. For this assignment she chose a pen name. The pen name she selected was Dorothy DLv “I had always thought ‘Dorothy’ was’ a pretty name-I still think so," Mrs. Gilmer explained. "and the ‘Dix’ was taken froin an old servant in our family whose name was Dick, but whose wife always called him Mister Dicks. ‘Dorothy Dix’ made a nice name - simple and alliterative." There had been a. famous New England woman named Dorothea Dix, "but I didn't know that till years later," says Mrs. Giimer. "then her family be- gan writing to ask what branch I came from.

A Yes,- crackers are passed decided that whatever she had to say, she would say it simply. And whst should she write about? In a burst of ins iration Dorothy Dix hit upon a an startling in its originality. "I decided." she says, "to tell women the truth." It was indeed a novel approach. The conventional line was that men are beasts and women are urn TIIE collrlnliilrl: ure and sweet. Dorothy Dix bald- fy proclaimed that women, too, can stand some imgmvement. that parents all’! not allibie, that tter of equal partnership. "I lambasted them," says Mrs. Gilm r. , in ted Dorot y Dix to join the staff of the New large increase in pay. "I couldn't accept lust then.” my séys Mrs. Gilmer. The aged editor th continue and she would not loave him. When he died, Dorothy Dix left the Picayune and Joined the. New York Journal. "I hadn't thought I'd ever really meet Mr. Hearst." Mrs. Giimer re- calls, but before I'd been at the- Journal two days he called me into his office and had along talk with me." The subject of the folk was murder trials. Mr. Hearst thought newspapers were rnising a lot of bets in covering them. " k at the success Conan Doyle has with his mystery stor- ies," William Randolph Hearst told Dorothy Dix. "But in a real mur- der case, we have better ma» terial than he ever has. We have, a better plot. because truth is more, interesting than fiction. Wc. have more genuine dialogue. be-, cause it is all taken down in court. word for word, as it's spoken. All we need is to write it properly." Dorothy Dix took this talk tn heart. She continued hcr Dorothy Dix talks, but she also covered big murder cases for the Journal. She became, in fact, the most famous of the murder-trial re- polters. Dorothy Dix has a quai- ity that makes people reveal tlitli‘ innermost secrets to her. The same quality made some of the men and women who were on trial for their livevs, and who were haras- sed and wary and suspicions, talk to Dorothy Dix when they wouldn't talk to anyone else. Like many others who have made great successes, Mrs, Gil- mcr likes to attribute her journal- istic feats to luck. or the help of the great men for whom she has worked. or almost anything out her own ability and enterprise. Thus she explains an early out- standing exploit, when she was a greenhorn venturing into unfam- iliar ground. A woman ln New Jersey was charged with murder. Dorothy Dix city editor sent her to get a a story. "I didn't even have a tooth- brush, says Mrs. Gilmer, “and I didn't know where New was. I, had to ask a policeman." She pronounces it Po-lis-mh, a relic of the Southern accent which her years of cosmopolitan life have never quite obliterated. HELPED BY JILTED SYVAIN _She got to New Jersey, and silo hired a man with a horse and b11881’ to drive her around “Phat was my biggest piece of luck." sllc says. ‘The driver was a jilted swaln of thc accused woman Ho told _me about her - things tho: nobody else kiletv." Dorothy wrote 1.500 words and wired .i in. It was the first story she had cvcr $6M by telegram; should she cut out all the ifs, ands and outs? "If I dO-Li13i."'8l’il? thought, ‘thc story won't make sense. I'll send it in this way if it cos-Ls Mr. Hearst a fortune." The Journal iikorl it- ifs, ands, buts, and all. Dorothy Dix covered murder stories for more than twenty years her salon-song being the Hal!- Mills case. But she gave up regu- lar reporting ln 1917, to devote ‘zer- self to her column. Shcrilv tll..c- after she returned to New O:- ans "Be sure to tell them I live m New Orleans." she insists “Most to Gilrner describes I en care of automatically. people think all columnists live in New York. I don't." She lives in a tum-apartment house, her brother and his family having the other apartment. Mrs. Gilmer's apartment is crammed with relics of the world-wide trav- els whlch, prior to the days of war and threat of war, were her principal source of joy. The ‘var and its asoline rationing have also elim nated her favorite retro- ation. which is taking long auto- mobile rldes through New Orleans. Otherwise, the passing years have changed Mrs. Gilmefs pro- femionnl habits very little. Silo works every morning. writing her column and answering letters. Some days, especially when she is stacking up an advance supply of articles so she can go away for a vacation, work proceeds into the afternoon. Her staff consists of her secretary — the greatest lux- ury success has brought her, for in all her journalistic years "I never could learn to manage a typewriter," she says-and. anoth- er sseistant whose Job it is to open and read the mail. ma is a never-ending source of work.

The weeding-out process fin- ally reduces the letters to a stack which contains real personal prob- lems, and these Mrs. Gilmer ans- wers herself. As many are from men and boys as from women and girls. The o title of the column, "Doro Dix Talks to Women." was c ngcd to just "Dorothy Dix Talks" for that. rea- son. Newspaper editors may not have known that men, too, have men knew it, and wrote to Dor- othy Dix about it Supersophisticates. who think they can order their lives without assistance (and whose divorce rate, incidentally, is the highest in the world) affect amusement at the very idea of “advice to the lovclorn." Indeed, Dorothy Dix finds many humorous tidbits in her voluminous correspondence She admires the clever turn of speech with WlllCh one girl wrote “please tell me how to acquire IT. In other ivnrds how to look hot and keep cool.“ and another coni- plained, “Hc suredishes out the soft soap, but the trouble with the soft‘ soap is that it has so much lye ill it." "But. remember, these things don't sccnl funny to them." Mrs. Gilmcr lldmcnishes. "They're in deadly’ earnest. ivhy, they ask me everything. I bct I've named n million babies - and cats. and yachts, and everything else." Though some of thc letters are £ll11ll$!ll;,',‘l\1rll‘0 nf them are heari- rcrlriinl: in their hopelessness, or clinllcnslnl: in their bold presen- tntlon of problems which are rcal, and immediate. and inescapable. SHE Surws PERSONAL APPERANCES Tlzc "lovelorn" are only a purt of Dorothy Dix’ vast audience. and affairs of the heart only one phase of the problems of which are presented to her Her principal thought is to help people in the job of living, getting 1110118. being happy ‘ind useful in thc world. That is one reason she has never tried to cash in on her celebrity. She has shunned pcr- sonnl appearances and has refus- ed dozens of offers to go on the ra io. “I don't like women's’ vo ces on thc air." she confides: but, moi-c important, she believes that if she did these things her column would suffer from neglect and she could not answer all the letters. 1 "I have been interviewed llzer- ally hundreds of times," Mrs. Gil- mcr says, "and nobody has over asked me the question that I hink is the only interesting thing about me. and that is what I have tried to do, however poorly, in writing my coliunn -- to give fresh hope to tired and- discouraged men and women wrestling with the insolu- ble problems of mani e and the other trials and tribu ations of domesticity. and above all, to preach the gosgael of common sense hat it seems o me is much need- ed in a hysterical world." The proudest recollections of Dorothy Dix are those cases which has successfully mend- ed peoples damaged lives -.- th sailor who addressed her as "m more than Mother"; the young woman who wrote to my, "I think this letter will be your best Christ- mas present" and went on to tell how the advice of Dorothy Dix saved her from e. misstep she would have regretted. Ingenuity, too, is often neccuary in the framin of Dorothy Dix’ to her fled correspond- ents. There is the cue. for 9X- nmlple. of the farm wife who had determined on suicide and who wrote one last letter to Dorothy Dix. She felt she could no longer go on with a large family of chil- dren to care for, a house to keep clean. meals to cook, work in the barn and the fields. an unromantic and undemonstrative husband .
