NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER TX
cts a great opportunity" said
Miss Jardine, 'even if it isn't
exactly what you want. Pm more
flattered than | can say that
they've asked me to send some
one. In those big organizations
there's usually someone right in
| line to be moved up when va
cancy like this occurs" She
looked at Jane thoughtfully, and
went on: "Of course, you may
not get it. My sending you won't
guarantee that. They may have
dozen other girls applying.
j Then there's the difficulty that
you haven't quite finished
! here"
T've practically finished" Jane
reminded her. "and I've done the
whole course in little less than
eight months"
ooh, you've worked marvel
ously. They said there was no
use sending anyone who wasn't
exceptional. KandePs is the Invest
real estate firm in the city, even
if it isn't the biggest-but you
don't even know the real estate
vocabulary"
1T ought to be easy enough to
learn" Miss Jardine's reluctance
whetted James desire, as Miss
Jardine intended it to do.
81 suppose there'f be no harm
in letting them look you over
unused Miss Jardine. "If you
don't agree-well, ! could send
either Laura Gates or Peggy
Meredith"
"If they don't take me they're
not likely to want either of them.
l believe | can get it. When am
| to go over there"
Now that Jane was eager for
the Job Miss Jardne became a
little serious. Il want to talk to
you first. You're young. You're
only starting. If ysu get it, this
will be your first job and first
job often sets the trend of ones
whole business existence. You
must look it over carefully, from
every possible angle, and make
up your mind whether or not it's
the right line for you. Don't be
one of these women who simply
work for the weeks salary and
never look beyond their noses
Now, after you're there a while
and know the ropes maybe you'll
discover that you haven't any
flair for real estate. Maybe you
won't like it. Maybe you'll be
dumb about it. though | dom
think that BIT if it doesn't suit
you, if it doesn't work out sc
that YOU like it, and want to &c
on with it, you must drop it, cut
it off clean and dry and try
something else now while you're
Young. Don't drift along on a
job Just because it's a job. My
belief and experience have al.
ways been that you can't be sue.
cessful unless you love your work
and go to it every day glad that
it's the thing you've got to do.
You have q little money of your
own, and there's no one depend
ent on you, you tell me, so you
needn't stick to anything that
doesn't suit you. | want you to
remember every word Pm saying
and act on It," Miss Jardine
lmade her speech of counsel with
an authority which impressed
Jane. She asked what was, for
her, very humble question.
miss Jardine. do you honest
ly believe l can get this job and
do things-in business-like a
man."
81 honestly believe that you
can and that you will-unless-"
"Unless WHAT"
"UnlesS you get yourself mixed
|
up in some sentimental mess.
That's where the average bust
ness woman losses out"
What do you mean, exactly"
| =
81 mean unless you have a love
affair that distracts you from
your work and makes you unre-
liable and trifling, and ineffici-
ent. If l were going to advise
you about that, I'd say-and this
may seem raw and cynical, but
it's sounG-if you do fall in love,
either marry the man and quit
business altogether. or take him
| for a lover in exactly the same
