"All right; suit yourselfl Don't
bother about me. I'll do it. 1t will be
long time before ask another
favor Of you. though" The head
stenographer founced out of the Of.
fice and back into her own sanctum.
Millie started after her resentfully.
Now, what right had she to go up
in the air like that? I wasn't crazy to
stay after hours and help her get out
all those catalogues, but suppose |
might have if she'd asked me different.
But when she comes out and says that
she supposes it's too much to ask of
me and she knows don't take enough
interest in the firm to give up an eve
ming at the movies to get out their
work, ! just naturally got riled and
said ! wouldn't stay"
Now that head stenographer might
be an Office manager or perhaps even
an official in the organization-but
she can't keep her temper. and that
has blocked her own success. Some
times temper. hurts only the indl7
vidual. 1t interferes with his health,
it costs him friends, handicaps his
ability. Do you know that great
many cases of bad digestion come
from bad disposition? You can't dl-
gest a cup of chicken broth and
piece of toast if you are "all riled
up" when you eat them.
Temper handicaps the individual,
but it does more than that. 1t blocks
the success Of an organization.
The other evening at dinner party
| met the new manager of big film
corporation--a film corporation that
has failed and must be reorganized
at great loss. With wonderful stars,
good directors. clever scenario writers
and all the artists and literary back
grounds for success. nevertheless this
film company has failed completely.
And the reason is not far to seek.
Temper did it! OF course, in the
artistic world they often call temper
temperament-bu the results are the
same.
| remember watching this particu
lar organization take one single
scene. Husband and wife sat in the
dining room and the maid brought
in the morning coffee. The husband
was reading the paper and his face
was hidden from the audience. So
"the temperamental male star saw
no reason why he should bother with
long stupid scene in which his face
never showed Some one could
double for him. The "temperamental"
female star objected to doing this
scene with an extra" man Bicker-
ing and quarreling over that necessi-
tated getting somebody who looked
like the young wife" in the picture
to take the place of the i'll tempered
star.
Two mornings were spent on that
scene--two mornings and a good
deal of salary and many feet of film
were eaten up while camera men
and directors tried to please two
stars who, didn't know how to keep
their respective tempers.
In the end the scene was taken all
over again, with the stars instead of
their doubles, and even then it had
to be retaken several times because
