e administrative offices of the Federated Airways. It was here that Jane and Sue were to go to school before they went into active service. Miss Comstock led them through the waiting room, into the administration building and down to a new, one-story wing which had just been completed. Drawing a key from a pocket, she unlocked the door and turned to the girls. "This new wing was built especially for the stewardess service. There is a classroom, a complete kitchen and commissary, lockers, lounging room and shower. I'm sure you'll like it." Jane stepped into the lounging room. It was delightfully furnished in wicker and the walls were a soft grey with rose-colored drapes at the full-length windows which looked out upon the field. The commissary, lined with cupboards for the storage of supplies, was in silver and blue, and arranged to gladden the heart of any girl. The sinks were of stainless steel and the large tables at which the lunches would be prepared were of a similar material.

However, when you are at the other end of your trip, the line will see that you are properly domiciled." She paused for a moment as she picked up a sheet of paper from her desk. "I have made a survey of rooms in Cheyenne," she continued, "and have approved all of the rooms listed below. They are in excellent homes, the rates are reasonable and I am sure you will find any of them pleasant. I want you to take the remainder of the day to locate your rooms and see something of Cheyenne. We'll start actual classwork tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Now, if you will consult me individually, I will make room recommendations. Cars owned by the line will take you into the city."
