SAYS ANITA COLBY
There's Room at Top
When You Aim tor It
raw YORK. N. Y, July M.
—Hit trouble n»ht now In
Careerland. U. 8. A., says
Anita Colby, la that not many
woman art aiming (or the
top.
Bark In the 30a and 40a,
women were more apt to want
to leave their domeatloated
cage* and go out and fight,
fight, fight tor recognition.
"We owe thoee alatera be
fore ua. like Suaan B. An
thony and the others, a great
debt,” she aays to working
women today. But evidently
the fight may be gelng out
and replacing It may be a
lethargy that even women
may begin to resent after
awhile.
"Women today In business
have proved themselves suc
cesses. They know better not
to compete with men. They
know that a woman's think
ing la different from a man's
and the male business world
Is aware that a woman's
thinking la just as good as a
man's In a great many oases.”
says Anita Colby.
Adding to this point, she
Inquires, "what man's mind
could possibly have conceived
that women want pink and
yellow refrigerators?” What
male mind, she says, could
have gotten the Idea which
has netted Elsie Frankfurter
of Page Boy maternity fash
ions millions just by cutting
out a hole In her sister's skirt
and creating a whole matern
ity fashion empire.
Then, too. there's Marian
Donovan who puts snaps on
diapers and came up with
the "Boater" design for which
qfie Just sold the patent for
over a million dollars. These
women weren't content with
Just an Idea. They soared to
the top with K.
In her new and revised
edition of "Anita Colby's
Beauty Book" by Prentice-
Hall. she has devoted a
chapter to the some 38 mil
lion career women In the
United States.
Different Pattern
Women who work today
sometimes follow a different
pattern than the career girl
of the 30s. Then stage plays,
movies, radio and around
the-table family discussions
revolved around "Would
Susie work after marriage?”
“Will Jane marry John and
give up that penthouse on
Fifth Avenue that she worked !
so hard to get on her own
and live In a one-room effici
ency?” "No daughter of
mine works at Saks Fifth
Avenue” the financier father
who 'til then paid all her bills
at the store might have said.
Other women, having
paved the way for the young
women of today In getting
any number of exciting and
glamorous jobs, look on the
new generation of young
women with a strange mix
ture of admiration and puz
zlement. Coming out of
colleges they get jobs, may
marry Immediately, If not
married before they’re out
of college, quit <he Job after
baby comes, they go back to
work several years later. The
difficulty Is that then they
are out of the direct flow of
people for the top because
they've been out of the run
ning.
Visits Virginia
In many cases, too. they’ve
lpst their Initiative and don’t
aim for the top because they
want a 0-to-B job without
any responsibility. Says
Anita Colby, who Is unmar
maried, these women don't
realize that It's easier on top,
there are longer vacations,
beter pay, and frequently
there are people to whom you
can delegate work.

In the Northern and Mid

the more high-style shsdes

A number of thoee reply
