Employers generally frowned on
beauty among their women employees.
This objection was mainly on theoret-
ical grounds, however. I found q sur
prisingly large percentage of pretty
girls in q large Office l visited. The
manager who engaged all of the work
ers delivered long and pompous lee
ture, seasoned with oratorical ges-
lures, In which he stated that good
looks constituted drawback which
the possessor found very hard to over
como.
"But you seem to have an extremely
attractive lot Of girls here" I faltered.
"Oh. yes he beamed. '1 fiatter my
self I can detect the proper qualities
in a girl even il she happen to be good
looking"
One would think that beauty would be
desirable in a department store. where
an attractive salesgirl might add con-
siderably to the volume OF business.
But even here Polly Prim, matter of
fact and attentive to work. Is more to
be desired than Fluffy Ruffies
