accompanied to the White House by

braces about $4,000 Offices and the
committee contended that such an

requiring the Post Office Department
to choose the first name on lists es-
tablished by competitive examination,
was urged. This would take in ap-
proximately $1,000 postmasters and
$4,000 rural carriers.
The committee advised that steps
be taken by the President looking to
the classification of such offices now
excepted from civil service rules as
might appropriately be filled through
competitive examinations. Such posi-
tions would include deputy collectors
of internal revenue, deputy United
States marshals, employees OF the

WHAT DO YOU WEAR
TO BUSINESS DUTIES?
BY RUTH LEIGH

A week or so ago a large bond
house on Fifth avenue sent a bulletin
to its employees with an article head
ed: What is a Fine Appearance?
Part of the article said:
The trump in the office has be-
come ancient history. The day of
the ear-ringed, bejeweled made up
fIarner is over. The best positions
are won by women with real merit
and ability, whose capability and
competency are reflected in their
dignified, businesslike appearance,
They choose their clothes with dis
elimination, with a view to simpli-
city and suitability of occasion.
Neither do they neglect general
attractiveness of appearance, but
realize the psychological effect of
reatness and simplicity, not only up
on themselves in their daily work
but upon their business associated
and superiors. The healthy looking
bright girl or woman who strikes a
happy medium in personal attire is
coming back in the business world
and is meeting with the heartiest
welcome"
"Oh, they think we're going to
dress like a lot of pills, said young
friend of mine, ruefully, when l
showed her the article,

business girls of today, ! want to
say that no employer, male or fe-
male, expects you to wear tho man

Here's a point about what you wear
to the office;
proper in the way of clothes, let us
consider the question from the angle
of what is inappropriate.
To begin with, those soft, cllnging
silk, satin or Canton crepe dresses $
even II they are black, are decidedly
unsuitable for an office. / see lots

Well, these soft draped dresses are

so fashionable today. They're toe
bright. too distracting, too inharmo-
NOUS with business surroundings
Satin slippers, sheer silk stockings
are wrong. So are very, very shor
sleeves, and unusually low cu
dresses.
We don't want you to dress like
frumps, girls. but for goodness sake
recognize what Is appropriate In an
office. Have you a tailored SUIT
How about that-with simple tan
ored dimity blouses. with round meek
How about a dark, one-plece cioth
dress? How about one of those SIM
nile knitted dresses that they use for

shade Is all right-those are suitable

anything but beautiful. And we sit
there or lie there and wonder what
on earth can be done with them to
make them look more to the man

One woman had brilliant idea
which is worthy to be told about

ally, did not want them for her
dresses. but she suddenly saw that
she did need their softness of tex

provided for her in her apartment.
So she purchased several yards OF
soft yellow colored accordion pleat-
