ments are strict, yet thousands of
young women are seeking the
comparatively few hostess jobs
available on passenger ships of
the nation's air lines.
Six years ago the first major
transport line announced it was
adding women to its regular crews.
Since then the beauty, charm and
bravery of the hostesses who
cruise the nation's skies have be
come traditional — and applica
tions from young women have
crammed the files of the major
companies. One line has 2,000 ap
plications, but insists there is a
shortage of qualified women.
Generally stated, the air mind-
ed young woman must fill the re-
quirements if she would don the
pert uniform of the stewardess:
“She must be 8 'graduate reg-
istered nurse.
Her height must not be more
than fjve feet, four, nor may she
