INDIVIDUALITY OF BUSINESS
 GIRLS.

Last winter a bright. wide girl took clerical position with a firm famous for it's petty treatment of em- pioyes. She was set to work in small. untidy room. lined with desks and tables. writes Anna Stese Rich ardson in Woman's Home Companion Tor January. At each desk was a girl. dissatisfied and churlish. her indiyid- uality fading. her ambition rising no higher than to enter that room each morning just on the stroke of 8. not minute earlier. and to be the first out or 1t when the clock struck ,. Most of these girls had lost interest in their office attire, saving every penny pos sibie for Sunday or party frocks. All of them were hoping to secure posi- tions with other concerns.
 Into this maelstrom of office anarchy stepped the girl whose individuality and self-respect still lived She came to work in new tailored silk waist with immaculate lawn turnover collar and cuffs The other girls shifted and warned her that the blouse would be ruined The office was filthy.
 We have an office porter and two boys" she replied. There is no rea- son why we can't have this place cleaned up. O"
 And somehow it was done.
 A lot of trash had been thrown out, and the first layer of dirt had been removed from the floor. ray of hope seemed to illuminate the staff of girls.
 The newcomer brought down her own desk fittings, simple and mex pensive. but with a note of jpdivid- uality-a letter-opener and box for clips in brass. burnt leather plotting pad and some personal stationary in case she wanted to write a little note during the noon hour. The office man. ager sarcastically advised her to lock them up every night. and the girl ex- changed significant glances; but noth- ing was ever taken from that desk. Finally. one of the girls timidly sug- sested that the newcomer might broach the question of their wretched wash room facilities to the manager and she did it
 In less than year the atmosphere Of that entire office 7las been changed. cleared, uplifted. by one girl. She did not preach. She did not demand. She did not stir up trouble She simply hVed her own life despite poor con ditions, and made others first envy. then emulate her

FRO mMoUTH TO HAND.

Kin Hubbard. the Indiana humorist. went down to Nashville this summer to speak at a Chautauqua assem- blaze.
 It was Kin's first essay into the lecture field and he was nervous. As he was sitting in his room in the hotel trying to get his ideas together two colemn citizens came in.
 MT. Hubbard?" one of them in- quired.
 Yes. sir"
 MT. Hubbard. we would very much like to have you address a little noon meeting of our business men,
 "On what?" asked Hubbard, then shivering with stage fright
 "Oh. on any business topic that may suggest itself to you'
 But l am not a business man I am an artist and a writer
 Certainly. but we should like to have you, just the same. Only a few minutes. We shall appreciate it very much
 Hubbard protested. but they insist ed. and he went down and addressed them for a few minutes, taking for his topic The Relation of the Ice Cream Cone to the Legitimate Chan nels of Trade."-Saturdsy Evening Post

THE NARROW STREETS OF
 LONDON.

Londoners like narrow streets. They love to be jostled and abhor broad. spacious thoroughfares, where there is plenty of room to walk
 This interesting opinion was given to the Daily Mirror yesterday by a Regent street land agent and sur veyor. who said that the growing tendency to construct wide streets was "a fatal mistake from a shopkeeper's point of view
 Bond street. Cheapside. the Strand. and other more or less narrow streets, !" he said. "owe much of their commer- cial success to their narrowness and consequent warm. sociable atmosphere. If Oxford street and Regent street were as narrow, I think their com- mercial value would be increased.
 Tn wide streets one side is sure to suffer. Thus along Piccadilly most people going toward Hyde Park walk on the left to Princes restaurant. and then on the right until they reach the park"
 The following list of spacious places avoided by the crowd was supplied to the Daily Mirror by another house agent: Kingsway; the Strand from the Gaiety theater to the Law courts; the south side of Piccadilly: the south side of Bayswater road, and the Embank- ment
 AS for the north side of the Strand. it is most curious to note,'' he said, how the huge east-going traffic melts away at the Gaiety theater, and the west-going traffic equally mys-I teriously dies away at the law courts
 50, too. with the Embankment- the shortest route between the city and Westminster. It is wide and open. and commands a magnificent view; but it is lonely-as lonely as the south side of Picadilly along the rail- ings of the Green park
 The question inevitably arises: Are Londoners suffering from agora- phoba. or fear of open spaces"-a we'll defined nervous disease?
 T would not like to say that agora- phobia. even in a mild form. could af- feet a whole community" said well known nerve specialist to the Daily but there can be little doubt that city-bred people find a great con- solation in a crowd.
 Some years ago I was employed in making a medical examination of thou sands of emigrants to Canada. Quite a number of London people, though healthy in every way, were depressed by the loneliness of their new life. and some went so far as to throw up excellent prospects in Cana da and return to the hardships of Lon- don life. preferring poverty in crowd to wealth and comfort in a sparsely populated country"
