Society Women End Week
of Sales Work, Tired, but
Infinitely Wiser.
MRS. E. H. PETERS
TAKES IN $500
Gimbel Girls Bid Amateurs
Goodby Like Old Friends and
Promise Future Aid.

Mrs. T.. II. Peters is the best society
saleslady in New York. She won her
laurels yesterday by selling more than
81 800 worth of suits, dresses and mil
livery in the social service bargain day
at Gimbe's. Every one Of the society
salesgirls did a recorl business in the
Saturday rush. The corridors where
the Fifth Avenue women presided were
thronged all day long, and the women
made the public pay for the privilege
Of staring at them.
Nearly $4,000 in sales was made by
the society salesgirls. At noon the ex-
act total was s27,7O7.22. Ten per cent
Of this will be given to the Social Ser
vice Bureau Of Bellevue.
Mrs. William Tew gave Mrs. Peters
hard run for the championship. Her
record for the day was more than
Sl,4OO. Mrs. Alexandra was third, with
$500. Others who got honorable
mention during the week were Miss
1Yonne Gourd, Mrs. tharleS Dana GlD-
son, Mrs. J. w. Fuller Potter, Mrs.
Howard Groenley and Mrs. George s.
Huntington.
"Coionels Lady and Judy O'Grady.-
Many of the women were on the
honor roll, too, in the hearts of the
regular Gimbel salesgrls. They shook
hands last night like old friends, and
there was more than one whispered
conference in secluded corners, such as ::
Now, remember, my dear, if that
cough isn't better
Most of the Gimbel girls covered
their real feelings with humor. 1t was ::
"Well. goodby Mrs. Tew. If you ever
want a real job I'll give you recon-
nerd"
Truth compels the statement that the
society women were glad TO go. They
were tired. Standing all day long and
maintaining constantly that air of
cheerful and contagious interest which
hypnotizes people into buying is not
easy even for those who bring life
time of training TO it. The society
ladies were very tired last night. How

The Hudson Boosters have about
cinched the Interstate League pen
nant, their victory at Saltwater and
New Richmond's defeat at Red Wing
giving them a 3-game lead. The
game at Saltwater was a thriller.
Hudson got 2-run start in the first;
in the fifth Saltwater made three
and took the lead, then Hudson tied
it up in the seventh. A home run
by Dexler put the home team ahead
again, but Hudson made another
and tied it up until the 18th inning,
when the Boosters slammed out two
hits, which coupled with two errors,
gave them the winning runs. Bertch
held Saltwater hit-less in the last
half. Red Wing beat New Rich

made in the game.
