Mary O'Connor, chief stew ardess for United Air Lines, says flying is "the most won derful thing in the world" and being a stewardess the most rewarding occupation for a - woman. She counts as rewards: sal ary $290 a month for a begin- ner, more than $650 for a chief stewardess; a chance to talk to many people ("women are a gabby bunch, you ''..know!"); and the opportunity to meet a future husband ("most flight officers are . young and good looking"). Pretty, blonde Miss O'Con nor, who celebrated her 25th year in the air last May, has had another reward - "Main liner O'Connor," the execu tive plane used by United President Wjlliam Patterson, was named for her.'

She turned to the airlines for a job be cause people couldn't afford i? to hire private nurses during " the depression.
