Be fore she handed It to Beatrice, sh looked her over with cold, experi enced eyes. She took in the soft golden curls under the .small, mi nit hut. She noted the thin wooler jacket, the unobtrusive srmirtncst of the drew. "Toby didn't spot it," Beatrice thought, unhappily, "but thi' woman isn't missing n trick." Thi suede handbag came in for scru tiny, and the brown suede shoei with the Incite heels. Almost reluctantly, the womar handed Beatrice the blank. "Fill this in, please, and come back." There was a table in the mid dle of the office. A long table with pens and ink and blotter! nnd a list of instructions undei the glass top. "Be sure to nnswci each question. Dense do no' falsify statements as all reference! are checked. Give exact dates ol previous employment and cxac' salary." Beatrice sat down and picked up a pen. Name? Bebe Davis. Address? She wrote the street ond number of Toby s apartment end carefully included, "Care ol Masters, e-xperience; None. Emu cation? That Was a poser. She couldn't write Miss Spence's School. She bit her lip. Some iw lege nny college. She remem bered the name of a woman's col lege ot which Grandfather had endowed a chair. ' She carried the completed ap plication to the woman. "Sit down." She seemed to take In the information at a glance. "Now what makes you think you'd like to Work for Huntington's. Miss Davis?" "I need the position," said Ben trice quietly. "That's the main reason for applying, of course. Then, I I've always thought I'd like to sell. I I believe I could." "I see." "A friend of mine In fact, the girl I live with, works here," plunged Beatrice. "Miss Masters. She thought 1 would (It in." "I see." The woman was posi tively frigid. Her eves, tlm tone of her voice, the poker faco, told nothing. i Beatrice found herself bocom lng annoyed with this person. Witt this the way Huntington's treated people who asked merely for the opportunity of working? People who might some day be valuable lo the store? The least they could expect was a reasonable courtesy. (")UT of the past came a remark of Grandfather's she had not paid especial attention to at the time. "We never know when some world-beating executive may ap ply to us. In the shape of a friglil encd, shabby boy who never finished grade school. Thai's why H store like ours can't nfford to be exclusive in the personnel de partment. I don't believe in thiR Rtuff of demanding n college de gree and 14 personal references. "And another thing! A store like Huntington's must never lose sight of the fact that applicants -for positions, whether hired or not, are very likely to be custom ers, too! Antagonize 'em. insult 'em, and you've lost a customer. You've also lost their families and friends." The woman behind the desk looked at Beatrice with a qtiick glint in her eyes. "Did you say something. Miss Davis?" "No. I was merely womlrnng on what basis nn applicant is judged. That is to say if I have not the ((uiilifications necessary for selling exactly what are they'.'" The woman smiled. "That's an intelligent question. But we need not go into it. As it happens. Miss lavis, I think you do possess qualifications for M-lling. At least, we'll give you a chance. We hap pen to be fantnng a new training class. Of i-ourse, ynu understand, sometimes moss of a training class doesn't make the grade. It's not n guaranty of a full-time position. But We train ynu. give you the opportunity of working in various departments, as a contingent when extra help is needed." Beatrice thought swiftly. "She'd have turned me down if I hadn't bucked her!" She did not know it, but she was making the same dis covery lier grandfather had made, years ago, when he laid down thr first plank of the foundation of his fortune. The woman turned her over to the More medical department for a physical examination. After that she was given an in telligence test. "Aptitude Test" they .culled it, tac tfully. Then she Was given a payroll number end a card to be punched and led to the locker room, where she put away her hat and cool. "The training class begins at 1 o'clock," she was told. "You tiny go to lunch now." "I'm hired!" She wondered, n little sadly, if being hired could For MWipoptr dt lfvrit mtr 5:30 Rmh CD 1594. DOUGHNUTS eopymoMT. mi. NCA SEWVICK. INC possibly mean more to the girl she ' .i.-AlarwIitr! In h thnn II HiH in thn girl she really was. "That fiend called me useless. But I'm not useless! Huntington's thinks I can work nnd sell things for them!" OEMEMBERING the owner of that hateful voice brought Mr. Weeming back to mind. She asked girl, "Where's n telephone?" The girl said, "You'd better go flown to the selling floors and iwe Ihe coinboxes. They're at each end of the floor. Of course, ther-j sre phones in the rcstroom, but they're always mobbed during lunchtime," "Thanks." She walked briskly out to the elevators. At the third fluor fshe'd always remember to carefully nvoid the fifth and Mile. Malhildc) she got ut and found the corner where Ihe phone booths were. A sale of $1.98 housedresses was in progress opposite, and the voices of customers matte a shrill uproar. She closed the door of the IxKith carefully before putting her nirkel in the slot. "Mr. Curtis Weeming, please. Miss Davenport railing." She lowered her voice, almost guiltily. "Mr. Weeming? How arc you? Mr. Weeming. something very at Iractive has just turned up, and I'm leavisg immediately. I don't know how long 1 11 be gone." "But Beatrice where arc you I going?" "South - America," she said I .-raiply. "Er the Argentine." Was I Rio de Jnneiro or Buenos Aires in the Argentine? It didn't matter. She went on. swiftly. "An old school friend who's married to a man who raises horses has er a ranch in the intoior and I've just tecided " Mr. Weeming, fortunately, was accustomed to her hair-trigger de partures for far pastures. Ho risked. "Is your Oance accompany ing you?" "Why no, he's not." She might :is well bo as honest as she dared. ''I've become a bit bored with Ihe idea of marrying Clarence nnd this trip is really r sort of get-away-:ind-tlilnk excursion." "Ah," said Mr. Weeming, in III rtisguised delight. "That's fine. Now how about your traveling runris, Beatrice?" "Why, I I've taken care of that ilrcady." she mswered. "Don't sive it a thought. If I need any thing. I I'll .nblc you, Goodby." Beatrice Davcuport Huntington liung up.

(API Before a somewhat dis tinguished audience tonight, Joe Louise will play another stop on his "farewell tour" of the heavy weight circuit before he puts awy the five-ounce gloves and has himself fitted for an army uniform. - After tonight's bout with Bud dy Baer, which will mark the 17th defense of his title, the heo ro heavyweight champion plans to fight about twice more this summer and then see if he can't rustic himself a commission. He has .gained the consent of his managers and plainly is looking forward to his "vacation" from the grind. The glow of the fight game has faded for Joe. As he sat In an other hot basement room yester day prior to another of the unend ing rub-downs, he didn't seem to want to talk about tonight's fight. He wanted to talk baseball, or to discuss his next fight with Billy Conn at New York on June 18, as though he could hasten the day. Buddy Baer, who never has been as noisy as his brother, Max, seems to have worked hard and made no wild statements about what he would do to Louis. Baer's only promise has been to stand up and make a fight of it. Bud dy always has plenty of heart, and he has a terrific kick In his right fist to go with his great size. It might be a good fight, particularly if it remains hot and humtd and IjuIs doesn't feel like rushing things. Lesnevith Gets Verdict Over Chrisrofortdis NEW YORK, May 23.
