One of the activities Of the Y. w.
c. A. secretaries in charge of "foyers"
or clubs for French girls, is to help
their members get work. incidentally,
1t appears that in so doing one of them
has been helping the United States Gov

One of the foyer girls has q copy
of an official report which Is on it's way
to President Wilson in Washington. IL
says that the girls sent by the Y. W.

most efficient French girls employed.

WHY Il CERTAIN SALESGLRL
NEVER GREW TO BE BUYER
She Entered the Store With That An but Eventually She Began
Measure the Interest She Should Put Into Her Job by What Fe
lou Yorker Put Into Hers-Why This Is Fatal

MTHAT cured this, girl Of her enthu-
w siasm and reduced her to being a
commonplace employe? The other
girl on her particular aisle! The other
girl was not an undesirable employe
by any means, but she was a common-
place one. She was selling waists
but as for putting into her job
the interest she might have had in q
little store of her own-why, she never
dreamed of 1t. Gradually and almost
unconsciously the girl at the next
counter began to be the more or less
Indifferent sort of an employe who
seemed to be getting away with II"
on the other half of the aisle. She was
satisfied with her neighbor's achieve
ments.
IF WE would reach the stars we
must beware of the man at the
next desk, of the girl at the next
counter. There is nothing more fatal
to success than measuring the effort
and interest you ought to put into
your job by that which your fellow
worker puts into hers.
If you are aiming for something,
don't be satisfied with what your
neighbor does. For you and she may
not be aiming for the same thing.

My dear, I hope that in the time, you
have waited for your answer you nave
come to realize how very foolish and
even wrong, you would be to write to
this man, who is alm9st an absolute
stranger to you and about whom you
know nothing except that he made an
engagement to call and did not Keep

Now. what on earth can please you
