Too many diversions and distractions. And an inclination to be too self- conscious, These are the handicaps, from with- out and within, that beset the “pretty girl” who has a job. As a worker, I'd rather be homely. For the sake of advancement I'd be will- ing to trade whatever good looks I may have for clever homeliness. “Beauty and brains don't go to- gether.” That at least is the popular concep- tion, and it constantly reacts against the beautiful girl in the business world. She may have just as much ability, initiative and ambition as her plainer sister, but my observation is that the “ugly duckling” has all the best of it when it comes to the confidence and the preferment of her employer. “Beauty was made to be admired— not to work”: honest thoughtlessness and sinister thoughtfulness seem to agree on that. When people talk to the good looking woman they generally “chaff” and spout sweet nothings. They compli- ment and ogle. No wonder so many pretty heads are turned and the girl herself comes to believe it’s an outrage that she must toil for a living. Every other woman is jealous of her. Even the employer's wife watches her, and is perhaps poisoning his mind against her. Men admirers are legion. For her superficial beauty she gets smiles, flowers, candy, party and dance invita- tions, taking her mind and energies off the job. REAL friends? Not very many for the girl of beauty. While apparently she has everything in her favor, the pretty working girl has a much harder battle to succeed than the plain, average girl. I'D RATHER BE HOMELY!

B. Hong, Stanley apart Am: maa 4 BRAZIL RUBBER MARKET ‘SHOT’ =: JST155 Dorothy ‘¢ Bassene By the Homely Girl (Miss Dorothy Bassene, Department Store Sales girl, San Francisco) The beautiful girl has all the best of it. Everything comes her way. She minces thru life like a fairy princess, without much need to worry about her work, And she always marries the Prince Charming or the young millionaire. The plain girl has to make her way by hard work. All she ever gets is the fruit of her wits. Like most plain girls, I devoutly wish I were pretty. And if I had never wished it before, I do now that I am working and see how good looks help a girl in her job. I'm a salesgirl. In salesmanship the first and most difficult essential is to get the attention and interest of the prospective buyer. The pretty girl does that with a glance of the eye, a smile or a tilt of the head. She weaves the spell of beauty around the merchandise, and her sale is half made before she starts to sell. If she has just a little ordinary com- mon sense, the beautiful girl’s success in the business world is made for her without much effort. Pretty girls make believe they have their troubles, too. I'd like to trade mine for theirs. I'd be willing to ven- ture that a few theatre parties, dances, dinners and delightful rides—which my freckles and red hair seem to scare away—wouldn’t hurt me in my job. A taste of life's lighter joys to sweeten the bitter that rankles in every homely girl's soul, makes any woman a better workingwoman as well as a better home woman. Beauty can take the short cut to success, Homeliness must take the hard, labor- ious round-about road. But what's the good of wishing?
