NANCY wept one day at the
IN ''hard lot Of women in bust
ness" The tears. of course,
were for herself, because she had
just resigned her job in a huff.
Haven't you frequently heard
women bewail the unfatrnass that
they meet with In every field Of
industry? Haven't you sometimes
felt that you aren't accorded the
same opportunity as the man who
works at the next desk? OF course
you have. And 1t IL true. But
instead Of becoming bitter about
it, I would suggest that you seek
some of the causes within your.
self. Perhaps Nancy's experience
will help you toward that end.
My little napper friend is very
pretty and winsonle. But she is
no less quick witted and efficient.
1t was, therefore, something OF a
jolt when she found one day that
there was q serious deficiency in
her rules for success. She IL a
much wiser girl now. and q poten-
TALLY successful woman. She
has learned her lesson.
Nancy was ambitious. The first
rung might be stenography, but

somewhere in the clouds. Armed

on, still smiling her lovely gray.

followed Angela out to her car.

were sitting opposite each other

that she believed there are lots OF

while men are going hungry and
