can be found to occupy 1t adequately. The post
is private secretaryship of novel duties, and
the man or woman who takes It must In great
measure originate his her own work. What
IS more important Is that In all likelihood de-
uand will within year or so arise for many
other people 10 perform just the same duties for
other concerns. a Boston department store pro-
pretor wants a secretary to do nothing but keep
IN close touch with his working people and ar
range plans for their good.
