NaluabIe Clerks.

Some one praised one of the girl clerks in large shop to the head of the department, saying that she was SD modest and so-pleasant. while so cbliging. that she seemed an ideal per sori for the place Prom your stand point yes, was the reply. but hardly from our own. She has all the good points that you mention, and which l agree the perfect saleswoman should not be without. But she does not sell goods enou@h to suitus mean she does not help people tO make up their minds and get them out of the way and some one else in their places. The ideal clerk does that without pushing or forwardness. You would scarcely believe how dependent most customers are upon others judgment, and how much quiet assistance they require in order 10 facilitate business. The most valuable clerk is that one who can render this help without ap- bearing to do anything more than offer the stuff for others choice "-N. Y .IOurpal
