In order to retain her position, her figure must remain sylphlike, for at the first suggestion of plumpness she is sure to be dispensed with. It was this problem which confronted a cloak model who had been in the employ of a department store for many years, and although she still held her position, she knew that it could not be for long. A salesman for a wholesale house had paid the model many attentions but she felt that it was her stylish appearance rather than her own personality which attracted him. The expected blow fell, and the discharged model, having saved considerable money, decided to take a vacation. She told the salesman that she was going to Florida and boarded a train going south, but got off at a little country town in an eastern state, where she had already made arrangements for board. There, unhampered by worry about her figure or her position, she rested and grew happier every day. The salesman also felt the need of a rest and decided to visit Florida, but on the way, the sight of a pretty country town caused him to get off the train. It chanced to be the town where the model was staying, and chance also lead him to engage board at the same house. The salesman rapidly changed into old, comfortable clothes, and strolled about the ground smoking his pipe but when he met a very comfortable, but not at all stylish woman, and recognized her as the former fashionably dressed model, he was almost dumbfounded. The model feared that her very unromantic appearance would disillusion the salesman, but to her delight, discovered that he liked comfort rather than style, and the result was that they married, bought the farm and settled down to enjoy the "simple life."
