WTYOULDN'T it be a grand thing If every
wv girl in the world had to take a course in
business etiquette. don't mean just to
know how to write a business letter and how
TO balance her bank book and add the stubs of
her check book up. What | mean is that she be
taught that an office is not the place merely
for social contacts and conversations. A grand
thing it would be, and what a boon to some of
the men whose wives think that an Office is
simply a place where Hubby spends most of his
time behind a great big desk giving orders.
What makes me think of this is a story I read
the other day. about a woman who went to
her husbands Office and her husband took her
by the arm and put her out on the sidewalk.
He said he simply wouldn't have his wife
