Robyn Marshall, who conducted the modeling classes was rushed back from her lunch hour since Harry's trying to verbalize modeling technique, though technically correct, had the class in an uproar.

Sylvia Cummings class in Accessory and Dress Coordination was even worse as Harry made the mistake of correcting an obviously over- dressed young woman, who took offense at a mere male telling her how to dress and what accessories to use. Sylvia's early return was the only thing that prevented the student from quitting.

He was brought up short in Alice Ellison's diction and voice class when one of the student insisted that it was a waste of time being told how to talk and that she wanted to be shown. Alice returned in time to reinterest her class.

When the last student had left for the evening another meeting of the faculty was held and an evaluation made. The meetings were always informal for this close knit group which liked each other and got along so well.

After much discussion, Mary Carlysle finally found the courage to say the obvious. "Harry, I don't think that things are going to work out if we continue on as we did today. First, we have lost the ability of getting our students to buy where we recommend without Liz. They want a woman's advise in this area and none of us can take over this function and conduct our classes at the same time".

Alice Ellison added, "I think that the students resent a man in the classroom and I honestly feel that we will have some dropouts unless we do something."

Ellen then suggested that they hire another woman instructor to take over for Mrs. Babbitt, but it was quickly concluded that a “good” ins- tructor was probably working already and would not want a job for only a few months.

"Why then, don't we hire somebody and train them in our routines?" suggested Robyn Marshall.

"Can't be done", added Mary, "None of us have the time to do the training, and by the time we did train someone where they could be useful, Liz will be back".
