work. This Ii one of the good features
of an employment bureau-they are sure
Of work before they start.
There is a great demand just at pres

are most always satisfied. A few even
go so far as to come in person and
thank me, which is certainly gratifying.
There Is q strong tendency for girls
who have always done housework to as
pire to other positions, such as Office
work. or clerking. and q few do leave
housework to take up other lines Of
