PICKED {; BY TYPE
Obseryant Man Explains Aver

Generally Selected as the Result OF
the Boss Early Experience-Wife
Sometimes an Influence.

"How do you account for the fact
that in some offices all the stenOg-
raphers are fat, In other offices all the
stenographers are thin, and In still
ether Offices are medium si2edf' de-
mandCd the loquaclous commuter, the
New York sun states.
'They aren't" replied the sleepy
commuter GROSSLY 'In offices | know
there are thick, thin and medium ste
uographers, all together
mo. you're wrong, old man." com
mented the loquacious commuter cheer
fully. 1--WE given this matter my Sc
riOus attention for some time. The
offices where stenographers are of
mixed sizes are the exception. In
nine Offices out of ten you'll find the
stenographers all run true To form
whether the form is light, heavy or me-
dium.
ITS the same way with coloring, in
some of the offices all stenographers
are dark and in other Offices all, or al
most all, of the stenographers have
medium coloring.'
"Wen, what's the answer" sighed
the sleepy commuter, reslgning himself
TO Instructions
MY opinion is" explained the To-
Quacious commuter happily, that it's
all due 10 the proprietor's early expe-
rlence.
when he began business and was
only able To employ one stenographer,
he happened 10 draw a plump one She
proved amiable. reliable. and just what
he wanted, and without realizing 1t,
he stored away in the back of his
mind the experience that fat stenog-
raphers are desirable. When engag-
Ing stenographers ever since he has
always leaned to this type. He may
have had many good stenographers
who were plump. hut in "A big Office the
work goes on in such way that this
would scarcely come to his attention.
Quite unconsciousiy he continues 10
cling to the type he first favored
But suppose the plump stenog-
rapher whom he first employed proved
a total loss?" questioned the sleepy
commuter.
THAT'S just where ii is" said the
loquaciouS cOmmuter. happily. "ln
the event you speak Of he would nat
urally store away in his inner con-
sciousness a distruSt of plump stenog-
raphers and in his selection would go
20 the other eXtreme-he would want
the thinnost stenographer obtainable.'
The sleepy commuter smiled irritat-
ingly.
That's queer theory he remarked,
but as matter Of fact, it isn't the
boss who selects the stenographers, it's
the office manager"
The loquacious commuter looked de-
cidedly crestfallen and the sleepy COM
muter would have scored an unmlxed
