FRIPA’Y, JANUARY 8, 1926. A GLIMPSE OE “MA” FERGUSON. GOVERNOR, ,Al' HER HOME AND IN THE EXECUllVE’S MANSION -—-—--———————-———__ 1 Feeds Her Chickens—Is Good Cook—Doesn’t! Wear Hair Robbed—Sometimes Tells Hus-: band Jim Who’s Governor— Doesn’t Care for Society AUSTIN. TEX. Jan. 8.-—(AP) The homely cacklo of the chicken yard or the quiet of a rose garden give Miriam A. Ferzuson a. surceuse from the turmoil which sometimes swirls about the governor's chair. A glimpse of the lntlinate lite of the woman governor was caught when at tho helglith of the politico. highway controversy. she slipped away to trim her roso bushes. buy clothes in Temple, her home town. and incidentally pay her poll tsx. Despite the fairy stories about Mrs. Ferguson. homely and benuti- i‘ul. big and little. ignorant and in- telligent. here are some actual facts about her: She feeds her chicks. East “poor man's bread" and tur- nip greens. Wears low-heeled shoes. Drives her automobile. Spreads on a little rouge. Does not care for "society." Does not smoke. Occasionally tells Jim. her hus- hand. where to head in. Does not permit Jim to keep 11. cow in the. mansion yard. Mrs. Ferguson does not put on high-toned airs. She dresses neatly. Last summer she wore light. organ- «lie. dresses of mild shades. This roll and winter her gowns run to dark colors. blue and black satin. Sho pre- fers black or tan shoes, according to the dress she is wearing. The Governor's hair is black streaked with izrav. and is worn in a foil around her head. Her usual office hours are from a A. M. to 1 P. M. She and her hus- band frequently occupy opposite sides of a flat top desk. dividing the work between them. Sometimes Mr. Ferguson. "the former Governor. uses an ante room next to the executive Office for consulting visitors. while his wife sits within the executive of- ficr- proper interviewing callers. Mrs. Gerglison has been known to thumb the flat top desk with her wo- manly fist and inform Jim just who is Governor. ' She takes time from work to chat with women secretaries in the office about everyday things women are in- terestcd in. On the. second floor of the Capitol is a small room. reached from the Governor's office by a private iron stairway. where the Governor may disappear for rest or study. Mrs. Ferguson's chief interest is .lim Ferguson. and when .8111". dong her kitchen apron to "fix something special for Jim." it generally means one of those Texan dishes. not. the least of which the poor man's corn bread made. without milk or eggs. She cares little for social life and most of her entertaining is done when “folks Just drou in." The State pays her $4.000 a year salary, one of the smallest Governor‘s solar. tee in the Union. and allows her $5.. 000 a. year expenses for the mansion. including maintenance of the grounds. ice. fuel and light.
