Miss Weeds subject was Better
Business Women for Better Bust
ness" and in opening she said IL the
girls are planning to get married, to
see to 1t that they make themselves
good business partners to their hus-
bands. If girls are fortunate enough
to have a college education. she said
is always a fine thing. for the more
a girl or woman can know the better
is she fitted for whatever she does
in life. She urged the girls to pre-
pare themselves to excel in what
ever they like best to dc and she
mentioned some of the many avenues
open to the young girls, who have
their own living to earn. Among
them were designing, selling. teach
ing school, art, music, office work
and the stage. Miss Weed told the
girls if, after some time, they find
there is something else they had
rather do, not to be afraid to make
a change after preparing for the new
line of work, If one thinks she can
better her condition to get the new
position and leave the old happily.
She told the girls. that no where will
they have such dear friends as in
the home town and in the home ana
family circle will be found their very
best friends.
Miss Weed said many helpful
things to the young girls but perhaps
nothing which will really help them
more than what she said to them
about really giving their best 70
whatever they do, to consider their
conduct and dress during business
hours and that they will only build
really worth while characters by SER
vice and giving of their best to their
employers and their fellow en-
ployees. When the girls are out in
the business world she urged them to
join the B. and p. w. club as it will
surely be a help to them.
The closing number on the pro-
gram was a vocal solo. Somewhere
Voice is Calling" and encore.
Mother Machree," sung by Miss
Edna Petty. accompanied by Miss
Dorothy Dane. The program COM
mittee was assisted by Miss Nellie
