Idle Conversation.

That nothing is more disturbing to a
busy man than the idle conversation
many women indulge in during business
1ours! Such conversation wastes both
lime and money and makes her an I'm
obligated nuisance more than anything
Else.
AS a matter OF fact, it is not easy 10
ind a taciturn woman, according to the
Baltimore News. 1t is almost impos-
,ible to discover one who, given sui
hcient provocation, will not tell the
story OF her lie to sympathetic per-
son, when she should be writing letters
or adding figures. Sometimes a soli-
AIRY woman will put whole Office to
confusion by an untimely word here and
tve-minute conversation there. The
women who have been successful in
he business world have been the few
who knew when to hold their tongues,
md where
here are women who avow them
selves able to talk while they work, and
to do a task as well to an accompani-
nent OF chatter as they do in a pro-
lound silence, but they will be lucky
II they can induce their employers to
believe this. And, in deed. it is not
rue, for no one can do two things at
the same time and do them we'll.
The woman who wants to succeed
in business, then. must take a lesson
in keeping quiet before she will be re-
Sarded as an acquisition to an office
