SAYING "NO!" TO SALLY EILERS REFUSES TO BE A TYPICAL (Above) Sally with mother and father Eilers. Sally says, "I'm afraid I'm not very good human interest material. I'm not bored, nor tired, nor unhappy." She's just having heaps of fun and isn't a bit ashamed to say so!

Sally is having fun! AFTER years of meeting ladies with the fame com. plaint, it is a genuine kick to run into someone like Sally. As to those ladies who profess to be "just a little tired of it all," Sally has her honest doubts. "Take it all away from them," giggled Sally, "and you'd hear a real holler. It just isn't natural for a woman to be bored with an ermine coat — or even tzvo of them. "No," said Sally, "I'm afraid I'm not very good human interest material. I'm not bored {Continued on page 101)
