News Feature Wri Suzy the shopgirl, now | that Christmas is here. And keep right on pitying her until New Year's. What she and her sisters, behind the counter go through during the holiday holocaust de- serves the DSM-—the distinguished | selling medal The minute Suzy the counter, she I It's “Miss, I'm 1 wait on me, you mean by i at a disadvar know who's next the customers for Tt not the c under which working.

" and * 1 “Miss, whi oring me.” & or she can't see the crowd ly disadvantage she's war, Su; cen told to be cour- teous. The trouble is, nobody’s told the customers to be courteous to No matter how rushed or Suzy, rate they are, the salesgirl is sup- posed to hoid on to her temper and her | Custo nee. ers Don’t Know The shopgirl is surroundegd by customers who haven't had the good sense to find out in s nce the size of glove or slip the) t. She's constantly having men plead for the right size stocking for a lovely lady just so high. And while she’s strug ine the di- o cribed, 14 cther customers are clamoring for | service. Unless Suzy is one of the store's old selling standbys, she’s not a specialist. She may be working her ay through medical scheol, or waiting for her teaching license to come through. She may even be an unemployed stenographer who's been corralled to work parg time during the rush. She may work at the cosmetics counter one night, in the toy department another. She had to decide what shade face | powder would be right for a girl with blue eyes, purple hair and a ! yellow complexion Friend custonier never thought of bringing a «ample, |or an empty box, or semething to help. In the final week before Christmas, she may sell neckties, rators and tablecloths, By end, she's wishing she had decided to scrub floors to pay her college tuition. Holiday Spirit Gone Christmas Day, Suzy coll under her own tree. Somehow, sk managed to sandwich in a shopping cof her own during lunch hours, but her heliday gone with the customers. S| use a week’s vacation, troubles hs but just begun. | bracing herself for the' istmas exchange orgy. That | man’s wife didn't have purple hair | and blue eyes—it was the other! \gvay around, and she's back to swap | her face powder. Suzy writes out | exchange slips until writer's cramp sets in, and then she writes out some more. | Many Exchanges i | Suzy and her sisters exchange at least 15 per cent of the little pai- cels of Yuletide cheer, and nine- | | tenths of the exchangers are irate | females who didn't want silver | bangles with gold trimmings. They | wanted gold bangles with silver | trimmings. Three times as many | women’s articles come back to iroost as men’s. And the more ex- pensive and impractical the gift, ‘the better chance it has of being | returned, store executives say. T—Waile this 10-day return derby is on, Suzy is®f selling a thinz, If she’s working on a salary plus commission basis, she isn't getting | her commissions. But her feet hurt just the same, and so does her | back and her head and her brain. Just the same, Suzy has to be alert, sympathetic and very much interested in the swapping of a size 16 pink lace nightgown for a size 40, seersucker. After all, the store’s motto is courtesy, and every Suzy has pledged herself. — e BOXING DAYS In England, Boxing Day—usually Dec. 26—formerly was the day when the old squires distributed Christ- ' | mas boxes to the help on their estates. It has since become a sort of legaliged blackmail—an excuse for delivery boys, the postman and | others who have served you during | the year to call and collect a tip. — e BEAR GIFTS | L Angels, sent by the Christ Child, | | bring presents to Hungarian chil- | dren—that is, if they have been good. They believe the angels are listening long before Christmas. If the youngsters happen to find bits of tinsel on the floor they are certain of it, as this is angels’ hair. Y The giving of gifts to the poor at | Christmas time originated with the | belief that the Christ Child some- | times came to the door of a beggar. | | Wax candles burn siowiy and last a long time if chilled in the re-| frigerator several days before they are lighted. To loosen a glass stopper that is apt to stick, let a few drops of | gylcerine soak between stopper and neck of bottle. | _ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE DIE THey!waIT! ) | BLON W ) -GN W) U, ALASKA O "\V\“"V/L | \l / WHICH OF YOU 1S THE | (ToP SERGEANT? ) | 4 LW PAGE SEVEN - | JOT [ e N 7 |1%A { YA KIN NOT SOCK ) OLIVE ON ACCOUNT ) OF SHE IS ME SWEETIE !/ QHE OLD GOAT! 4 HIM AGAIN YA M ON ACCOUNT OF HE 15 ME POPPA j K’V‘W—J KIN NOT SOCK 12-6 _Tom oms & TERRY LEE Ent A B /Z\L DD I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY, X EXACTLY !
