sea of matrimony is the question.

held that unless she were shown
TO be unfit to teach she should he
reinstated and given the salary she
would have earned had she occupied
her place in the school room
The board has decided to appeal

LOS ANGELES. Cal. oct I'll
Lovely woman. In Los Angeles,

This IL the assertion or Miss
Neya Fielding 81 Los Angeles. who
makes a heated defense Of stenog.
raphers and bitter protest
against the suggestion OF caging
them to stop office fliriatiOna.
Mrs Charlotte Smith Of the
Women's Homestead association OF
Boston made the suggestion OF
placing all pretty stcnographcrH
and office girls inside wire cages
10 prevent employer husbands from
flirting with them.
Just as soon as the stenogra-
pher enters the office the employer
ogles her. draws out box Of

back Miss Fielding. Il don't know
what Boston girls Will submit 70.
but Los Angeles girls certainly
won't go inside wire cages. It's
silly and insulting.
Also no Irritation would eyerka
stopped by a wire cage
An employer could stick a choc-
olate cream thru a wire cage into
pretty girls mouth Just as easily
as he could hand her a whole box.
Mrs Smith evidently doesn't
know a bean about working girls.
or the fact that just as soon as
they enter an office they become
strictly professional business per
sons who keep their social affairs
and their boxes o. candy for other
times than office hours.
Mrs Smith has probably never
done a hard days work IN her life
and doesn't know that employers
pay for business and not filtration. .
