BY FAY KING.

NEW YORK, July 29.-I hap
pened to be by appointment in one
Of the large downtown offices one
day waiting to be admitted to the
private office of one Of the senior
partners, and while / sat there l
observed the very splendid, capable,
fine young women who were at
work.
In that place brains count, and
II there are any VINO think that a
woman with brains is. never pretty
/ should like them 10 30 there with
me some time, and I'm sure they
will agree with me. that the bust
ness world has not diminished the
feminine charm Of these girls. 1t
has rather enhancea' them. They
have poise, and concentration, and
responsibility has given them more
than mere adornment and social
charm.
They went about their work with
all the grace Of . hostess i'm her
home and the confidence of WON
an Of the world.

To SUMMARIZE REPORT
New System Being Planned by Cham
Der of Commerce.

A new system of dealing with the
business which is to come before the
annual meeting of the membership of
the Chamber of Commerce is being
considered. The new plan will elm
mate some of the tedium of the meet
ing and accomplish the same results
in less time it is believed.
Hitherto the chairmen of the various
committees have rendered individual
and detailed personal reports at the
annual meetings and the reports have
taken up a good deal of time.
The new plan is for the chairmen to
file this week with the general secre-
ports which they wish to have brought
to the attention of the membership.
Matters past, present and future on
which they desire special action or to
which they wish the attention of the
membership called, will be included in
these special reports.
The general secretary will then pre-
sent at the meeting a summarized gen.
eral report which will cover all the
points submitted. Action can be had
more quickly this way it is believed
1t is the intention of L. F. Strain,
president of the chamber to call
meeting of the directors to be held i'm
mediately after the meeting of the
membership. At the directors meeting
the organization for the coming year
and the election of officers, will be ac-
complished.
The membership meeting of the
chamber will be held on the evening
OF Jan. IA.
