"SALES WATCHERS, THEY MAKE EVERY CENT COUNT FOR CHIC
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Fashion-Beauty Editor


 New York, Oct. 24-Van- ished is the Stagedoor John- nie, Broadway commentators report. And they might add: moved to Fifth Avenue. For it is at the employees entrance es of the big department stores that New York's Ro- meos nowadays wait for their lady-loves.
 The outpourlng of fetchingly dressed beauties from behind the counters of New York's shops is indeed as glamorous as ever thrilled mere man at the backstage portals of Broadway's musical hits. Un- questionably pretty girls by the hundreds; attired in the mode-of- the-moment; immediately groom ed; alluringly made up; the an-- tithesis of the bedraggled working girl of yore. '
 How do they do it2 That is, how do they manage to look like de- butantes on their slender salaries? I put the question to hundreds of the most smartly turned out sales girls. They were amazingly frank in revealing the intricacies of their finances.
 Sales Help
 In Dressing
 The 1886 Girl-B -Behind-the- -Coun- ter is an inveterate watcher of sales," for one thing. And she has learned the trick of using really good accessories to make @ low priced dress look expensive. She buys her evening clothes at enn- |. .ployes' sales in her own store, often getting $S0 gown for as little as $3.
 By changing collars and cuffs, she makes her navy, black or brown working frocks do for street as well as store. She sticks to all the rules fashionists lay down at the begin ming of each season, and throws in a few of her own for good measure.
 Among the hundreds of her kind whom interviewed in street clothes as we'll as their store-uniform frocks, I have selected an even half dozen as being the smartest salesgirls in New York. Groomed within an inch of their lives, the fact that their salaries are not large seems not to detract from their ability to wear the right clothes and to wear them correctly. Only One r,,.
 Is Budgeteer
 Dark-haired, slender Jane Bea- ney of Bonwit- Teller is the only one who arranges her finances strictly on a budget basis. The oth- CTS buy what they need whenever they need it and have the money to pay for 1t. Miss Beaney, how ever, sets aside 8 certain amount for each necessity then shops until she finds good value for her money.
 Miss Beaney's salary is $8S4 per pear, plus $80 in commission. Out of this, she contributes $52o to the support of her home. The remain ing $444 go for carfare, lunches, doctor and dentists bills, cosmetics and permanent waves, amusement, Christmas and birthday gifts and her entire wardrobe. T buy six pairs of shoes per year at $5 each" Miss Beaney told me. T allow $60 for four street dresses, SIS for IS pairs of stockings, $50 for two complete evening ensem- bles, $l0 for lingerie, SIS for amuse- ment." r .i
 Miss Beaney, as do most sales girls, washes and arranges her own hair; manicures her own nails. She spends the sum of $20 for beauty treatments, and this is divided among two permanent waves per year and two haircuts a month. This One Is ,E Campus Beauty
