LONDON, May 19-Paris and

two weeks in each city. The English
girls will work in the French central
offices, and at the same time the
French operators will be employed at
this end of the wire on the long-dis-

is to give the girls a working knowl-
edge of the two exchanges and the
method of routing calls. in addition
to cementing a personal entente

easier the working of the cross chan
mel exchanges.
The official language on the Paris

MA FERGUSON
DR0PSBONB
IN LONDON
Writes Paper Urging Girls
There to Fight Shy of
Mannish Dress
By DAVID M. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON, July 17.-Governor
Ma" Ferguson, of Texas, has
dropped a bombshell into the camp
of London's business world.
Since woman made her entrance
into English business it has been
considered that she should make
herself as unfeminine as possible,
that she should adapt a mannish
mode Of dress, and sometimes it
seemed that it was expected that
she should strive : to appear her
ugliest during business hours. The
silk stockinged, modist beauty has
never been quite accepted as an
adjunct of the London business
world, as she has been accepted in
American business centers.
Then along came Governor Fer.
guson. pen in hand, to encourage
the London business girl to break
from her chrysalis.
Governor Ferguson wrote for a
London newspaper as follows:
IT hope those attractive English
girls that / have read OF will not
be smitten too strongly with the
fetish of mannish dress. They have
perfect right to be as lovely and
feminine in an office as they are
over their tea tables.
IF she is pale, 'judicious amount
Of powder and paint is, not to be
frowned upon. If her feet are slim
and lovely why shouldn't she wear
shoes that viii show them 10 adj
vantage?"
There were dark scowls and dark
er thoughts from London's business
men, who have not yet quite recov-
cred from the shock of having girls
in their offices.
Then the storm broke and, 10 and
behold, the banner of Governor
Ferguson was lifted aIoft by all
sorts of people Of position in Lon
don.
Girls should always look their
best, whether in or out of the
office" said Lady Bower, wife Of
the Lord Mayor Of London.
Providing making herself look
pretty is not the beginning and end
of things for any business girl, /
think the attempt is most laudable, .
said Cherry, Lady Poynter.
Girls ought to dress prettily
everywhere, said Lady Lavery.
With this encouragement it be-
gins to look as though Governor
Ferguson's. advice is going to take
and English business girls are going
to throw away their brogues, their
knitted sweaters, their felt hats,
| their stiff collars, buy few lacy
things and a lip stick or two and
set out to make themselves attrae-
| tive.
