An attractive blonde who came to Alaska by way of Strawn and McCamey, Louise has homesteader rights on a tract of virgin wilderness some three miles southwest of here. Why in the world would a single girl with a good job take to home-steading? "It seems everyone asks me that question and its very hard to answer," Louise says. ''I guess the main reason is that I found a place I liked very much, land I thought I would like to own, and it was available for home-steading. So I homesteaded." Worked For Oil Company Born in Strawn 30 years ago, Louise moved to McCamey with her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. George S. Sides, at the age of 15 and completed high school before enrolling at North Texas State University as a student in engineering draftsmanship. After 2 12 years at North Texas State, she went to work for a major oil company at Midland, as a draftsman. In September, 1956.

For the past year and a half Mrs. Green has, been separated from her husband, and she keeps as busy outside Congress as in. In one recent, and typical, month she gave six speeches, in New York, Chicago and Washington. In addition to education, civil rights is one of hsr favorite themes, and she is active in the World Council of Churches. She drives an American compact car and lives in a two-bed also required to clear and seed at people.

The lights burn bright in her office nearly every night and she is one of the few members who can be found on Capitol Hill on Saturdays. Although she appears frail, she has the energy of a cross-country runner.

Only recently has she given up her favorite pastime, tennis, in which she won her letter at Willamette University in Oregon. "I used to think life wouldn't be worth living when I couldn't play tennis," she says, but it is doubt Louise admits, in a roundabout manner, that marriage has a very definite place in her future plans: Minus 40 in winter "The first winter there wasn't I really don intend to work WASHINGTON House of Representatives can sometimes remind visitors of a group of unruly schoolboys pointedly ignoring a substitute teacher trying to instruct them. The classroom resemblance is even stronger when Rep, Edith Green, addresses the House. But then the whispering and joking subsides and it is clear the regular instructor is in charge. After 14 years as a public school teacher Mrs.

Green inevitably brings a classroom manner to the House. But it is not her brisk, lecture-like delivery that quiets her colleagues as much as the force and logic of her admirably brief speeches. The 18 women members of the House are all afforded a full, if not fulsome, measure of Congressional courtesy. Glowing tributes to "the gracious gentlelady" greet their slightest contribution to the legislative effort. But hich recard for Mrs.

NEW YORK (NEA) Woolknit fashions are wise to city ways this year. They are also casual, superb in their simplicity and dear to-the heart of the American woman.

That classic white tennis sweater with neck that looks good enough for Prince Philip has been copied as a woolknit dress, no less. With neck in red and blue outline, it has a slim skirt. The woolknit coat dress goes on into fall in belted and unbelted versions. Worth its weight in 24-karat gold on any plane trip, this dress can emerge from a flight looking completely smooth and chic. The two-piece woolknit suit is a standby in the wardrobe of many American women.

This fall, it's done in a handsome gray heather cardigan style with pocket piping in a sharp carrot color. And other versions for both city and country place spare jackets over narrow skirts. Braid is used as trim in designs that have a casual elegance. One such two-piece dress pairs a braid-trimmed, striped pullover with skirt in solid color. Colors for autumn woolknit fashions favor hammered bronze, clay, tempered brass, earthy browns, vintage reds and slate blues.
