She was and is a star customer's woman.* Last week 1,100 brokers at 20 posts applauded Miss Cleary's audacity. Next week 1,099 members may have a chance to "haze" a pretty young stockbroker in skirts.f For Miss Cleary is pretty. Last week she saw screen star Nita Naldi and a prize beauty off for Europe on the midnight S. S. Paris. Flashlight men found her more smartly dressed than the former, prettier than the latter.
