like, one day, to be the buyer of her department in the store, but she doesn't stay awake nights worrying about 1t. She has less of the driv- ing, climbing, career-woman ambit- ion than sisters of the same age in business offices.
 Of course, a few of her kind have gone far beyond their counters in carving notable careers.
 There's Janet Gaynor, for a glam- orous example. Before the dazzling red-haired Hollywood star ever step- ped before the Klieg lights she serv- ed an apprenticeship behind the counter of San Francisco depart ment store.
 Louise Franklin Bache, Executive secretary of the National Federation of Business and Professional Wo- mems Clubs, says that the selling experience she had in connection with her early work has been of paramount importance in her rapid strides to success. Miss Bache adds that large percentage of the mem- bers of her organization prove their department store training equally highly.
 Kathleen Grealish, whose title at Banwit Teller's is nothing less than Advertising Manager" was once a salesgirl. Sara Pennoyer, important executive in the same store. has served her time behind the counters.
 In the field of promotion and publicity, are many department store alumnae. Of these, striking blonde Katharine Vincent, fashion isti and promotion director. is out standing. Only a few years ago Miss Vincent sold sportswear at Best and, Co. Now she has an office of her own on Park Avenue, handles

the cost of clothes, cosmetics, even movies, is pretty sure to wonder) :. she can't tell you. But she does it - generally without 8 budget. Furthermore, she appears to have fewer financial worries than girls in higher-salary brackets.
 This is how Miss Average Sales girl says she does it: Five of the $10 which remain after board and room have been paid go for clothes. The other $5 are divided among carefare, about g per week for a communication ticket, lunches, beauty shops, vacation funds. Her provis- ion for amusement is practically nil.

ries that she is spared. The aver age department store provides tned- teal and dental services, including inoculations for colds and hay fever, for all of its employees.
 Nor do beauty shop checks and dry cleaners statements make ap- preciable dents in the average sales girls salary. She and her mother do the pressing, and great per. centage of the y-cleaning, right at home. Both of them sew, too, And daughter knows how to wash her own hair and arrange g suitable coiffure without professional aid. She has 1t done in a salon only on special occasions.

 Makes No Effort
 To Save Money
 Miss Average Salesgirl does not save money. In fact, she makes no attempt to save any. And her mea- gre allowance might make 1t diffi- cult. anyhow. She is only mildly interested in politics and the war in Spain, and doesn't care Q whit about Fascism in Italy and Germany She is, beyond a doubt, the soul of conyentionality. Her clothes con- form with the mode of the moment. She smokes little and drinks even less: goes to church on Sunday; spends her vacation (one week af- ter the first years employment two thereafter) at a nearby noun tain resort; likes the movies; reads current fiction.
 She will marry a conventional young man, keep on working until he makes enough money to support a family, then quit her job and be a fine housekeeper and good mother.
 There are, of course, 8 good many older saleswomen, few young ones
 who do not have to earn living
 but work because they would be bored if they didn't. Some do not contribute to the support of their homes and, consequently. have all their salaries for themselves. Also, several have come from another city to make a place for themselves m
 the New York sun. .
 Social Lights
 In Speciality Shop
 The girl from out-of-town shares an apartment with one or two oth-
 CTS, gets her own breakfast (dinners,
 too, when she isn't invited out), de- bends on her family and kindly relatives for underwear, cosmetics, jewelry and small checks to buy the extras which her small salary makes unattainable.
 The society salesgirl type is more prevalent in specially shops" than in department stores. Important socially herself (but with finances so depleted since 1929 that work is
 necessary, she has following from
 the first day she sets foot behind the counter. Mrs. Gottrocks goes to the so-and-so speciality shop "be-
 cause dear Mary -Vanasto torsmythe-
 works -there-and iSn't-it- clever-of-
 her." And Mary Vanastorsmythe's commissions soar.
 But all of these are exceptions indeed. Miss Average Salesgirl
 works because she has to and builds
 her own following from the ground
 up.

their labor at the $3.50 rate pre-
