TIM’S SISTER Miss Billingslea waited for the change $mpatiently. She had found her morning's shopping trying. Three salesmen who for years had waited on her and who understood her tastes and temperament were absent. When she inquired rather shnarply for them, she was told that they had gone to training camps. Their places had been filled by young women, and it was Miss Billingslea's sexpericnce that saleswomen were never so attentive to her ivanis as man clerks. She always preferred masculine service. It was annoyin to have to.wait so long when she had so much to do in getting ready for her mountain trip. “I'm sorry, madam,” said the pretty young girl who had sold her half a dozen pairs of outing gloves. “There’s probably some delay at the cashiers desk. I think you change will be here in a moment Mies Billingslea frowned. She sup- pPosed that some inexperienced girl scene to reach America.
