SELECTING A SECRETARY.
An Employer Counts a Good Deal
Upon First Appearances.

Upon First Appearances.
! once heard a business nah
say that the best secretary
he ever had he selected wholly
from her appearance. Thirty
women, says the Woman's Com.
panion, came in one rainy day In
answer TO an advertisement.
Twenty looked detected and slop-
py and ten Of the twenty had for.
gotten their umbrellas or over
shoes. Five were OyerdresEed
and came in cabs. Four were
silly, giggling little girls Of hftcen
or 50, and one came freshly
groomed, tailOr-made, with crisp
linen, stout boots, neat umbrella
and hair dressed for windy, rainy
weather. He selected the last
without recommendation, and
found her just what he had judged
from her appearance good
worker and u wise associate.
OF course, some Of the detected,
wet and tired girls might by
chance have 'panned out" an
ideal worker within few DAYS rest
and a few weeks salary for fresh
clothes. Ability and real merit
are often lost In the misery that
comes from exhaustion and fail,
ure and fear. But the business
man does not know these things.
He il not blessed with second
sight. He getsath from
experience, not from prophets
visions, and he does know that
more than half the time the girl
that looks careless IL careless.
And so, in n competitive exam,
ination Of workers, men as well
as women, the swift eye Of the
trained employer is pleased with
external charm. His Judgment
becomes esthetic rather than pro.
found-and really Il Is the best
be can do.

Household labor is varied in its re-

down stairs can be made an excellent
exercise for developing the muscles of
