High school girls' wages run from 25 cents an hour, for occasional baby sitting jobs, to as much as $6 to $10 hourly for those few glamorous girls who are attractive enough to work as photog-rafers models. The average pay scale, however, ranges from $20 to $32 weekly for those girls who are still In high school. Among the high school students and recent graduates Interviewed, those who plan to attend college earn, on the average, less than those girls for whom high school graduation marks an end to formal education and who are concentrating on their work as a permanent career.

High schoolers with medical ambitions put in long hours for only average pay as nurses' aids and hospital laboratory assistants and look forward to several years of training before they can work in the capacity of nurse or laboratory tech nician. An occasional teen may be found In the dancing line at a night spot, and these dancers command some of the highest salaries available to high school girls. But much of the money goes into living expenses and further dance training. Girls who want to combine pleasure with their business' choose a job in attractive surroundings, counting pay secondary, and may work at such places as the Chicago Railroad fair or Ravlnla park during the music festival season. Of those teens interviewed, half give part of their salary to one of their parents for household expenses, two turn over their entire salary to their fathers to be banked (their allowance comes out of their earnings), and one adds all her summer salary to her clothes allowance for fall.

Edward Strccter and Cluya WUllama) IT IS TRADITIONAL that between the church and the house wedding guests are free agents. This is the one period in the schedule where they can express their own individuality. The majority appreciate this unsupervised interlude and are apt to turn it into a kind of hare and hound race in which the bride, groom, and immediate progenitors are the ha res, the guests assuming the role of hounds. The latter are held in check briefly by a few yards of satin ribbon and a rear guard of ushers whose hearts are no longer in their work.

Scarcely have the hares disappeared down the striped tunnel of awning than the pack is after them with lolling tongues. Gone the little pre-wedding courtesies when one car waited politely for another to pull into the curb and friends exchanged genial words of greeting while trying to crawl out of underslung sedans.

Future college students, unmindful of heat and humidity, are flocking into these air conditioned haunts of college fashions and having the thrill of a lifetime picking out a wardrobe.

Blouses are just the regulation models of extreme simplicity made of wool crepe, wool jersey, fine ribbed corduroy, and soft new velveteen.

The new sweaters have the elastlclzed 'neck lines, round or oval, assurance against excessive stretching. Nearly every blouse is cut with sleeves that can be worn down around the wrists, pushed above the elbow, or Just below. Separate skirts and blouses are perennial; they've been almost the same year after year. Skirts are made of rugged rough tweeds, velveteens, and corduroys. Blouses have high, and modest neck lines and some resemble the sweater In the way they fit and cling to the body lines.

Plaited skirts are everywhere, hi separate skirts and the simple one piece dresses with a simple blouse topping a plaited-all-the-way-around skirt. Few-skirts are uncompromisingly straight. The newest and smartest skirts are of wcol, corduroy, and velveteen. Short jackets art extremely popular, worn with or without a belt.

Those not engaged in being self-consciously photogenic stood about making wisecracks about those who were, between deep draughts of Mr. Banks' champagne, which already had begun to flow.

A Buckingham representative approached with a tray of glasses. Mr. Banks took one. He felt like those men in the whisky ads who go thru nerve shattering experiences In jungles or on mountain precipices, then, their job well done, settle down calmly with friends In the last picture to a glass of their favorite grog.
