SOUNDS LIKE TRUE LOVE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

There is a certain man in our
office who smiles at me, and it seems
he would like to speak. I know 1
love him, but 1 can't seem to be
able to get him to take me out.
notice how he bushes when he sees
me, and when I come in in the
morning and he is at his desk he
seems glad. I don't go out, but
stay home evenings and dream
about him. I am going to leave this
job any day now, not because I
want to. but because 1t is only
temporary. I guess I am just fool
ish, but one thing do know, I feel
over him the way never felt for
anyone else. LONESOME.
It would seem to be simple
enough matter to become better ac-
quainted with the young man in the
same office as you are. And If he
smiles and seems glad when you
come in of a morning. 1t looks as If
the interest was mutual. Why do
you not get some friend who knows
you both to get up a picnic. movie
party or a dance. and invite you
both? When two young people are
glad to see each other, a more
friendly footing is easily arranged.

A Monumental Task.
As experts Of the commission set

The commission will engage a corps
of experts whose duty 1t will be to
out questionnaires that de-
scribe a position accurately. Thus,
where a clerk assigns several tasks
as his or her daily routine, the ex-
perts will have to determine just
what the job shall be called and what

should be. Many questionnaires will
have to be filled out again, but MEM
- OF the commission are confident
the work will be in shape for a final
