edly stands for it's own grade in society. Only wad of chewing gum is more of a divining rod when it comes to classify ing ones social position, ambition, or even business training. Far be it from me to take issue with | anything that the writer asserts, but
 there is one point which he doesn't make quite clear, and that is, that the aver
 age girl who goes to work goes merely because she has to and she is not inter- ested in her work, and consequently keeps her eyes open to the main chance. She

 seeking it's own.
 The head of great corporation told me | the other day that after handling men | and women for years he had found that
 woman individually cannot stand praise or appreciation, but when you merge her into the mass, and only consider her WORK-that you value her only for what
  basis to her character. She rises to some- | thing broader than mere personality and
 realizes that she is a cog in the machin- cry of the commercial universe, and then
 she is more than apt to succumb to the Vaccinations of a STEADY JOB" This same man told me also that when enc of the girls in his establishment was detained by illness he never sent her word that The missed her." instead he sent her a message to the effect that 1t was her GOOD WORK that he missed and when she returned she was brimful of vanity that she was USEFUL" I wonder. though, if the same principle applies-everywhere
 Can one man solve the problem of how to manage all women? q know too much about women," said a
 clever lawyer to me recently, ito ever | boast that I know anything about them" '" Listen:
 Let me tell you a little secret: It isn't because we are so COMPLEX | that men cannot understand us, it is be- cause we are so SIMPLE. L was talking to a girl the other day,
 who is here on her vacation, from Chica- go-great. big, old, heartless city-but when she told me about her work there | and the man she worked for, why l | thought so differently about the working girl in the big city.
 | She said: i've been with the same people IF years. Everybody that knows the head of the firm loves him; there isn't a man. | woman or child in his employ that wouldn't almost die for him. He's So good to all of his people. You know what
 we call him. THE HUMAN BEING. That's 1t; he's A MAN-sympathetic kind
 and gives every last one of us so much | help. Do you suppose that I imagine that
 anybody could get my job while I'm away? Never! Things like that don't
 happen when you work for HUMAN BEING"
 What the girl said gave me food for thought.
 How many of us are really HUMAN
 BEINGS in our everyday life? DO we stop to think that everybody we work with is just as human, just as sen sitive, has just as much feeling as we have?
 Do you remember the story of the
 woman who let her servants go for a weeks holiday every summer, and she in turn did their work and she declared that after the experience she had new sense of what they. were called upon to bear in day and she knew so much better how to treat them after that. 
 | Somebody has described the American Man as being all HEART in his HOME | and all HEAD in his OFFICE. l A woman's heart always plays the most important part in whatever she under takes-whether business or pleasure. Her heart Is the handspring of her life To leave it out of her calculations, when she goes out into the world to battle for herself, would be like forgetting her watch or her gloves.
 And the trouble is not so much that she
 needs to use her HEART less in the com
 mercial world, but her HEAD more-and this will come--hard as it may be--when she has been on the job long enough.
