not on duty.

stores reported they were getting
their share of sailors and WAVES
as well as their officers, joyfully en-
gagged in the first civilian shopping
spree since they put on naval uni
forms.
The new order evidently meant
more to the WAVES than it did to
their male counterparts.
Men don't get as excited about
that sort of thing as women" one
haberdasher said.
WAVES were reported to be flock
ing to shops in search of "dressy''
dresses, frilly hats, coats, shoes and
a few suits.

and one bought a hat, little green
thing with feathers. The two took
the hat to another department,
