"You were beautiful that night OF

IL is a matter of common knowledge
that when woman really gives her
mind to beng a business woman, and
takes the same heart interest IN her
Job that she does in her hair or her COM
plexion, that she is crackeriack At it.
All of MS know saleswomen who lay n
spell upon US that causes US to buy
things we don't want and can't afford
We know women buyers who can wrlng
the last cent out of seller IN the way of
discounts and terms. We know private
secretaries around whom a whole office
functions as absolutely and dependentiy
as homo docs around mother, and, this
being the case, the wonder has always
been that so few Of the many thousands
of girls who 60 into busiaes make sue
cess of it.
Most Of them are just also-rans. They
FIJI small places in competently, They
have no interest IN their work, no am
bition TO attain TO q more responsible
position, no desire TO learn anything
about the thing they are trying TO do,
no pride of craftsmanship. Business to
them means doing as little labor as they
can TO draw a pay envelope while they
wait for some man to come along and
tate them out Of the store or Office, and
nut them in kitchen or n parlor, IS
Lady Luck ordains.
/ have always maintained that the
curious phenomena of the business girl,
who gave one brain cell to her Job and
the balance OF such gray matter as she
possessed to trying to look and act like
a Society Debutante was to be ex-
ulsined By her clothes. Furthermore,
/ have eontcaded that women would
never be worth their salt, even to them
selves. IN the commercial worl until
they quit gong to work in fluffy ruffies
and learn to dress the part, as theatrical
people saw, OF the business woman.
So IT is with great interest that !
learn that the big business men IN q
number of Northern and Eastern cities
have put the ban on the baby doll IN
stores aud Offices, and have gwen IN
structioas to their employment bureaus
to take on none. but plainly and suitably
attired women, with clean, unpalnted
faces.
II do nc trust anv made up woman,
said of these large employers of
female labor, " and no girl deeked out in

shoes. and knee length skirts and socks

none but business women, and women
who look like business women.
II this is true, and employers are going
to force women to give up their friyolity
IN dress IN working hours, it means
revolution in woEan's S whole position
in business, and it means further that
women are going to amount to some
thing worth while IN the commercial
field.
For one of the reasons that women
have achieved so little is because they
have not been suitably clothed. You
cant climb the ladder of success in
beaded georgette blouse any more than
you could a FIRE ladder. Nor can you
run a race in spool heeled shoes Com

Moreover. when your feet are hrrting

But when girl can wash her face and

clothes before she leaves home of a morn

gets back in the evening, she viii have
some time and mind to think about her
work. The great thing, however, about
he being sensibly dressed is the psychic
logical effect it viii have on her.
Not without a good cause do women
invariably Judge another woman by the
way she is dressed. They know that a
woman's clothes express her, and that
there is nothing else To which their sex
reacts as it does to dress. They know
from personal experience that a woman
can put of or put on mood by chang
ing her frock.
You could take any staid old mother

putting on her long jade ear rings and a

miserable by wearing it. Watch a woman
in a tailor made frock. See how erect
and jaunty she carries herself, and note
how the same woman sinks and lolls
