She's Jean Arthur, as Clarissa Saunders, in Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939). Her pencil appears to be an Eagle Mikado. (How can one tell? By the distinctive band on the ferrule, not quite visible in this soft-focus shot.) After Pearl Harbor, the Mikado was renamed Mirado.

Who's lookin at the pencil?!
Oh yeah, the pencil. Beautiful women and stationery supplies, competing for one's attention!

Red-headed woman with reporter's notebook
With two allusions to her in recent posts, I thought you might enjoy a sample from Robbie Fulk's homage to Jean Arthur:
"Her talent was not the kind
Learned at some school for actors
Her beauty might stump the minds
Of all the experts at Max Factor"
