One of the busiest women in
Washington right now is the new
first lady of the Navy, Mrs. Delor-
es Sherman. She’s the wife of Ad-
miral Forrest Sherman, the hew
Chief of Naval Operations. She
says that aside from taking time
out to see the Army-Navy football
game, she hasn't been doing any-
thing but unpack trunks and try
to get settled in the 12-rbo’m house
the Navy provides for its opera-
tions chief. It’s an early Victorian
home on Observatory Hill.

of homes both here and abroad.
At a Navy wife she has lived in
many parts of the world. While
her husband was commander in
chief of tlje Mediterranean Fleet,
she says that she just “followed
the Beet.” She did, however, main-
tain quarters in Madrid, because
that's where the Sherman’s only
child, Mrs. John Fitzpatrick, and
her husband live. He’s Naval at*
tache there. ‘
Mrs. Sherman was in her Mad-
rid home when she heard the news
that her husband, had been ap-
pointed to the top Navy post. She
hurriedly packed and followed
him to Washington by plane.
Attractive, vivacious Mr*. Sher-
man first met her famous hus-
band while he was a naval avia-
tion cadet at the Pensacola Naval
Air Station in 1922. Before that
time she had lived in Washington
quite awhile, and had attended a
Chevy Chase, Maryland, school.

when she was a little girl, she
didn’t play with ordinary dolls.
Instead she made puppets
practiced by the hour, staging her
own impromptu puppet shows.
Later she took lessons in di
ics and costume design, to further
her chosen career. She even took
an after-school job in a carpenter
shop, so she could learn to use
tools to carve her puppets.
After graduation, she became
an instructor in puppetry at the
Newark, New Jersey, playgrounds.
And she did volunteer work in
hospital wards as an occupational
therapist. Later Mrs. Copelan be-
came director of the WPA puppet
project and spent several year*
