The Marrying Evil.

A big dry goods firm in Seattle is
much distressed because the marrying
habit seems 10 have gained Il permau-
cnt footing among its female cm-
ploycs.
The manager reports with sorrow
that just as soon as salesgirl gains
enough experience 10 he really yalu-
able. she almost invnribly gets mar
ried and leaves her place To I've filled
by green hand. He tried to obvlate
the difficulty by requiring OF all appli-
cantS for positions "A promise TO re-,
main unmarried for at least a year.
The girls agreed to that stipulation
readily. but forgot all about IL when
the right man came along and the firm
had no redress.
The only possible protection against
what the manager dolefully calls the
marrying evil, lies in the selection of
salesladIcs who are aged, infirm and
generally unattractive. Such policy
would act as detriment upon busi-
ness and. as soon as the plan became
public property, no woman on earth
would apply for n position. The rene
dy would be far more disastrous than
the disease
In short. the manager is butting his
head against wall OF unusually solid
masonry. When a woman makes M

ployer's arguments don't count for
much. as compared with those Of the
