THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1931 ‘When they're “given the air,” that means they're hired! Here are some of the pretty maids of the Eastern Air Transport, seen in the chic blue and white costumes which they wear as hostesses in mid-air, ee & ee * AIR TRANSPORT LINES OFFER FIELD FOR GIRL HOSTESSES Three American Passenger Lines Now Employ Women to Entertain Guests | | New York, Nov. 23.—Few girls suc- teed in making their’ living out of/ the air. That is why all air-minded girls] Yook up when a new air post opens; possibilities of employment to girls, no matter how limited are the num-| bers taken. | Such a new field of venture for girls comes with the installation of hostesses on passenger transport dines. England has just started using airmaids on the Imperial Airways between London and Paris. Japan has installed hostesses on her main Passenger line. Three American lines now have corps of airmaids who serve in the capacity of social host- esses, social entertainers and wait- resses to the passengers. She's Flying Waitress Of the eight airmaids on the East- ern Air Transport company's lines « from New York to Richmond, only one holds a limited commercial pi- Jot’s license. She is Beulah Unruh, the flying waitress, the girl who won acclaim last year when it became known that while she waited table in a restaurant for her living, shet spent her tips learning how to fly, The rest of the eight are recruited not from among pilots or among girls who have any desire to pilot a plane, not from colleges or society ranks, but from girls with an army background behind them, daughters, wives, sisters of army men. These girls, so says the woman in charge of the airmaids, seem to be able to put up with emergencies better than the average girl, are able to get along witha variety of people without be- ing upset or superior, are very adapt- able and understand what it means to be of service. Each week all of these girls fly one day to Richmond and back and the following day twice to Washing- ton and return and have the third day off. Costumes are furnished them by the company, and neat lit- tle red, white and blue outfits “they are, too, with the white frocks hav- ing divided skirts for comfort. The} Jackets are blue twill with pearl but-} tons made in the form of propellers. | In the morning they serve passen- gers with hot coffee and coffee cake, at noon they give them neat sand- wiches and hot bouillon, and in the afternoon they serve tea, consisting of sandwiches, tea and cake. They pass free cigarets and magazines around, give cold drinks to those wishing them, and must stand ready to sit in on a round of bridge, back- gammon, double solitaire or any other game passengers want to play. ‘They function as regular hostesses, seeing to it that “guests” enjoy es pass around a huge beauty kit to women passengers, with mirror and the makings for a new complexion, so they can freshen up before leav- ing the plane. ‘They're Air Beauties ‘The main requirements for such @ position seem to be personality, air- worthiness, and a wholesome genial quality that makes a girl a natura! hostess. Appearances are no guide at all, yet no line takes any girl who is not young and good looking. But just looks alone do not suffice. Quality is demanded, because a host- ess on an air line much be the high- class type of person who just natur- ally inspires confidence. There probably never will be many’ airmaids in America. But the fact that this new line of airplane work utilizes women opens up the possi- bility that other ways may develop in which big air companies can even- tually hire more women.
