THE OLD SOUTH YIELDS TO
THE NEW WOMAN

A North Carolina newspaper recent
ly ran a picture that any society edi-
tor would crave The well-arranged
hair, the shapely throat, the charming
profile were accompanied by mention
of member of an old and prominent
family of Cartaret county, 1t was a
story of an island of femininity en-
tirely surrounded by men. But the
men had sat about directors table,
and welcomed Bertha HELEN as the
newest officer of the Raleigh Banking
and Trust company, the first woman
assistant cashier in Raleigh.
Southern Main Street men please
take to heart her words to other bust
ness girls.
mo one Of you can appreciate my
position unless you have been girl
In the South, where the woman is
still having struggle to gain her pO-
sition in the business world. My home
town cashier told me he had no ques-
ton as to my ability. l could never
be an officer in his bank merely be-
cause l was a woman. From that day
worked to become an officer in a
larger bank than his"
Young Bertha HELEN, after she had
got her foot on the ladder of success,
had to face the one hardest type Of
opposition. 81 worked for eight years
in the little bank in my home town."
she says. 81 never had more than ten
days time off during a year Some
times l worked two years without va
cation. l took as much interest in
that bank as if / had big salary, or
the presidency. In the ninth year /
asked to be made assistant cashier.
81 don't think a woman can hold
that kind of position the cashier told
me. That ended the matter-for him
but not for me.
"The next year ] was paying teller
in large bank in Wilson, at doubled
salary. Seventeen months later 1 pro-
noted myself to Raleigh bank"
Save for the petty vision Of that
fire. cashier and others like him,
Bertha HELEN finds many big things
on MEtn Street. "The average young
girls character grows better, l feel,
when she can have the influence of
home life. She has q chance to know
people better. My experience Is that
she can have more social life along
with her work than the strange girl
In strange city.
IF one aspires to big things, 1t
looks sometimes as if it is necessary
to leave the small town. But we our
selves may be bigger in small town.
Even if we do not have a big-paying
position, our lives may count for more
in the little home church and COM
munity.'

ENGINEERING BOTH
BABIES AND BUSINESS

Would you expect a woman who
had adopted as her slogan, Babies
Before Business" to be written IN in
all sorts of magazines as an unusual
ly successful geological engineer?
Ten years ago. when the two Gould
kiddies were healthy, little school
children, Nina S. Gould went back to
her Job Of being an assistant geolog-
fcal engineer. In the office of Gould
& Gould she has entire charge of re-
ports, maps, cost estimates and enough
other technical details to make the
average woman-or. man-blink. She's
an honorary member of Chi Epsilon.
a fraternity for women doing geolog-
zeal work.
Mrs. Gould found time, as the chill
dren's interests and her own led her
outside home walls, to take an active
interest first in the Kindergarten club
and then in the school patrons club.
to organize two Camp Fire groups,
anc to become an active member in
social study club.
at present she serves as the bust.

board of directors Of the Y. w. G. A..
as vice president Of the civic commit.
tee OF the chamber Of commerce, keeps
up church and Sunday school work
and presides over the Town club with
70 picked business women members
and an active city-beAutiful program.
Also she goes to bail games with the
children!
It's hardly Fair to call Oklahoma
City with its 10000 people a gopher
prairie, even though the Town club
is still struggling with unfidy chicken
yards inside the city limits. Anyway
Mrs. Gould's answer to would you
like to move to New York ?" was 'sNo."
But girl just starting? "a large

woman of many friends, s'for the girl
Just going into business. She has far

TO BE PERSUASIVE
By II. AddinqtOn Bruce


VIZ HAT tremendous pity it is that the
w Importance of responsiveness as an
aid to success is as yet fully appreci-
ated by comparatively few people.
Not statesmen only but workers in every
occupation need in more or less degree to
bring other people to their way of thinking.
Persuading others, winning the goodwill of
others, they prosper. Failing, to persuade,
their progress lags, when 1T does not cease al
together.
Which would seem to be a truism so OBJ
yious as not to call for statement. Yet the
fact is, as observation daily shows, that null
titudes seem to think they can entirely dis
pense with responsiveness.
Even statesmen themselves, the workers
who above all others depend for results on
"the explanatory and persuasive tongue, -
often fall into this error.
There are some statesmen who, instead of
sedulously seeking to persuade argue with
and perhaps go so far as to hector prospeC-
tive customers,
Since argument tends only to create oppo-
sition, such statesmen do not as a rule get
very far. AS rule, in fact they soon cease
to be statesmen. =
So with those salesmen-and preachers
and politicians and all others directly de-
pendent on oral persuasiveness-Wh while
they refrain from hectoring, weary and con-
fuse and irritate by burdening their dis
course with a mass Of irrelevant detail.
To persuade through speech is to know
precisely what one wants to say and say it in
a way that will be appealingly ineligible to
the one to whom it is said. How many are
those who make it point to think out and
construct their pleas according to this prn-
cple?
And, of course, persuasiveness involves
much besides oral tact and skill
Some Of the most persuasive Of people are
persons who say exceptionally little. They
persuade, not by speech but by the unfailing
courtesy and kindliness of their manner, the
fidelity and willingness with which they rem
der service, and, above all, by their sincerity.
1t has been well said that to be sincere is
the only sure way to be persuasive in the
long run. Only a little reflection is needed
to bring out the full force of this.
A glib but hypocritical speaker may be
persuasive for time. But soon or late his
hypocrisy will give such a curious color or
atmosphere to his whole personality that he
can no longer attract and influence others
as he once did.
Whereas the sincere speaker-and the sin
cere worker in every yOcation-wiu little by
little, even if somewhat deficient in speech
or in workmanship, compel an increasingly
favorable attention that reacts. TO his great
