Comfort More Than Salary.

A man who happens 10 know that
stenographer who is earning
hardly more than seven dollars a week
Is worth a great deal more than that
to business men who require pains
taking service. was wondering the other
evening why she did not try to ad-
vance. From The girls relatives it
was learned that she lacks ambition
and that her salary. with some extra
money she earns in outside work, is
more than enough for her wants More
than that, she likes her employer and
his methods of work and does not care
to change
In that frame OF mind the girl would
be unwise TO seek new position. for
comfort is worth something i'll this
life. The man who makes money his
idol forgets that and he misses most
of the sweetness of life It is far bet
tel to ignore the matter of salary and
work where we can be comfortable
and happy than TO earn a handsome
salary under distressing conditions.
