In any business thnt those women are engaged in, dress does make a difterence ;- &nd, whers there are a number of applicants far & position, the prefareuqe i, nine timas out of tem, for the woman who makes the best appearauce. - ““’Tis* true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tie, 'tis true.* If any of our lasd- ing firms want a saleswoman, they will not bring among tkeir ctistomers one who is shabby or old- fashioned, nor do they manifest & preference for o woman -of brilliant ideas, as lang 28 those ideas run counter to tho generally-pxpressed ones, because most Xenule 0 not ‘eate to get theirinstruotions and dxv gooda from the same eptablichment. That nat any one of these things is requisite, and that the things she con- demns are requisite, may be seen at a glance in an advertising column of 3 moraing paper.; for, we do mot find_any of these things called for there, and we do see & demand for-women who mako ** a good appearance " and are of ** pleas ing addresa.” The unlucky woman who has apphed to Mrs. Swisshelm for. work must have hearbily wished - herself eyther a nogro or a sick soldier; for she informs ns that sho has nsed her woa!th t3 help the elaya to freedom, and has sacrificed her heslth m hospital-work; but, to her fellow- workwomen, who éomes o her for assistanco'in obtaining worl, she cries, ** Leave me alonel - I have syaceeded in the woild, Igin earnmy own livebbood. If I fall, my frierds will belp me. So.'when you are out of work, don't come to me, wesriug out my time and strength with the recital of your sentimental sorrows.” The world has a right to expect be:ter things than this of “you, W 8.

Tlis much I koow, that, it the Iady mado hat bonret in one hour, then she has missed her calling; for, if that unfortnnate correspondent was-owner of a_millinery-satab- Lshment, .then the position .of commander-in- clitef of the working forces, with g large salary, shonld be gpeedily offerad to ber.
