WOMAN OF THE WEEK
Sisters-in-law an- hard to please. So if one speaks well
of the other, that other sister-in-law must be a paragon
of virtue. That sounds mighty stuffy but it just rr.<
th.it Shirley, wife of J. Bernard
Specter is eone pretty special,
not only to her family but to
her friends.
Shirli y was the middle one of
three sisters spaced four years
apart She was old enough to know-
that playing with her little sister
was much more fun than playing
with a doll, even one that said
"Mama" and cried. The Spectors
themselves have two daughters.
Shirley was girl oriented. Berna
graduated from the University of
Boston after having spent her SHIRIEY
junior year at the University of Madrid. She is now in
New York working at Little Brown and Co. Anna, the
younger is in Trieste. Italy. She is on the Experiment for
Living which has been in effect in the United States for
37 years Over T.OCfl American boys and girls travel to
foreign countries each year, living in that country, going
to school, and getting to know the people. Shirley's folks
were ahead of their time, believing in helping their com-
munity and feeling that they were their brother's keeper.
They passed their thinking and also their love for travel-
ing on to their daughters.
Shirley in turn indoctriated her own family. She went
to Ohio State, where she was a regular rah. rah coed.
President of her sorority, Sigma Delta Tau she has kept up
with the alumnae group and has been president. She ma-
jored in art and loved every aspect of it. Furniture was her
father's business. Her folks, the Steins, decided to build a
house so Shirley transferred to West Virginia University
in Morgantown, W.Va., where she had always lived. The
tie of the house was "Aven." Aven means stone in He-
- v and Stein in German. They all still consider it the old
 stead.
After college, Shirley wont to New York to make her
fortune Fully intending to take up decorating, she was
sidetracked. It was during the war In she marched to
Bergdorf Goodmans to tell them how much they needed
her an.-: how had they ever gotten along without her. She

She moved where her folks were now living.
One of her friends wrote and asked her to find an
irtment for her.
She went to the one owned by A. Bernard Spoetor and
h.< mother. After a few questions Mrs. Spector said she
wanted her son Barney to discuss the apartment with her.

married 19 years. They have two daughters Berna and
Anne. Shirley entered with gusto into being a terrific wife
