Richmond had one applicant in the

''just tried the examination, she said
to see what the result would be. She
made formal application and com
mumcated with Washington, with tho
result that the examination was soor
a thing of the past, and cit did not
seem so ridiculously difficult" said
the young woman, who admitted she
awaited results somewhat nervously

more than nervous, for she had beer

Now Miss Pearlman is wondering
what to do.
"This young woman" said Mr.
Walker, local representative of the
civil service, "is one of the youngest
