CHAPTER IX
'iMfE woman behind the desk
reached for a while blank. 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

"I'm hired!" She wondered, n
little sadly, if being hired could

Weeming back to mind. She asked

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

they're always mobbed during

"Thanks." She walked briskly
out to the elevators.

Louis Dull As He
Approaches Battle
With Buddy Baer
WASHINGTON, May 23.
(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.
