I asked, as she came up the steps from mailing a letter to her husband, who is selling in South Bend. "He didn't do anything Monday of this week," she replied, "but he had three appointments for Tuesday.

He sounded a little discouraged, for he had hoped for a banner week. "It makes me feel unhappy, too, when he has a bad day or a bad week, but I wrote him a cheery letter to pep him up. He'll probably have a good day tomorrow. "I am always eager to get his letters, for I keep wondering what success he has had the previous day. It really adds more zest to our correspondence, although I feel blue when Bill is downhearted."

Mary Hart, of the 69th WAAC Post Headquarters Company at Fort Custer dashed to Detroit this week to pick up a crisp check for $471.80 and a bolt of drapery material. Back at their post within a few hours, the entire company turned out immediately went on a decorating spree. During off-duty hours, they're now deep in the throes of painting their dayroom making curtains getting everything ready for a van of furnitur3 which is due to arrive shortly.

When the company arrived at Fort Custer April 8, they found the dayroom assigned to them aa bare as an empty box. Formerly used as men's barracks, it had been completely stripped of bunks and other furnishings. Detroit Group Earns Money HOWEVER, UNKNOWN to the WAACS, the Infants Service Group of Detroit was ready and waiting to act as fairy godmother. Organized eight years ago to provide care for babies of indigent parents, this group of 55 women decided to add a wartime project to their usual activities. So since last fall, they have been earning money to furnish a WAAC dayroom at Fort Custer.

And what a grand place it will be for weary WAACs to come to when their days' work is done! Four big comfortable couches, plenty of easy chairs, tables, reading lamps and so on. Light Finish on Furniture ALL THE WOOD pieces have a light wheat finish. Upholstered pieces are in blue and off-white. Rug is a soft dusky rose and the tall windows will be curtained in a nubby-weave fishnet of the same subtle rose shade. "We told Lieut.

Hart that our club would be glad to make the draperies if she would bring us the window measurements," reports Mrs. Samuel G. Bank, president. "But she just laughed. Said her WAACs can sew even if they are soldiers." Lieut.

Hart says she is as thrilled over the new company dayroom as if she were doing her own home. "And all the girls feel just as I do. You should see them 134 all told standing around waiting for their turns with the paint brushes!"

If they can understand the sales problems confronted by their husbands, and be taught the cardinal sales point for the merchandise, they can become invaluable allies of the company for whom their husbands work. Put Her on Payroll IT WOULD BE a good strategy if commercial firms cooperated with the intelligent wives of their salesman and paid the wife a bonus for helping increase her husband's effectiveness.

If she studies the merchandise till she can furnish him new points, or give him a new perspective regarding his old, threadbare sales story, she should be encouraged in such good work.

Commercial firms are still slow to realize the importance of training their salesmen's wives into being the proper kind of rooters. It takes years to make a star salesman, but it requires only a few months to break such a salesman when his wife is hostile to his line of work and nags or argues him into going on the small regular pay roll of an office or factory.

Train in 2 the Wives AT SALES conventions, the men are often encouraged to bring their wives. But the wives are herded into bridge parties or sent off on sightseeing tours. A grand ball may be held on the final night, at which dancing and a stage show are headlined. But intelligent wives should be given more than simple entertainment at such conventions. They need the same type of sales training which their husbands receive.
