And she is perfectly right in assuming that morality is an in- dividual and not a class problem, and that society women are just.as much in need of minimum wage legislation as working girls are, If you doubt me on this point consult the pages of Mrs, Edith Wharton, who speaks as one having authority on society and whose most famous heroine, Lily Bart, borrowed $10,000 from a married man to pay her bridge debts, or read “The Custom of the Coun- try,” ‘now appearing serially, in which the delectable Undine Sprags, a young wife in perfectly good standing, borrows “a couple of thou.” from a multi-millionaire to settle a few bills for gowns and millinery. js The Evening World reader's assurance that 1} “if a girl does good work” there will always be a position somewhere if it is needed. ‘This doesn't matter of course so long as the glances please, but when other glances begin to allure him he is pretty apt to conclude that her work alone is not worth what he has been paying for it.

MORALITY DEPENDS ON THE IN- DIVIDUAL, Dear Madam: One's views are al- ‘waye governed by experiences, My {deae on the subject may not coin- cide with others, but here they are: At the outset, I met the married man. Have since found that almost every beginning business woman meets him. Looking back at it now, with all the romanuctam detached, I see it in all its ugliness, and know where I escaped, 1 did not go to dinners or other piaces of amuse- ment, or with him alo Brought up with little thought of money, money, dress, amusement had not taken possession of my thoughts, 1 was appealed to through all the ro- mance of a girl fresh from school, And thie, perhaps, belped to save me, because I had no liking for what Was not open, above board and hon orable. I thought or fancied I loved him; bur I told him that J thought if a woman lost her pride of self for one mai there Would be «> telling Where jt would end. He quite agreed with me sald that he cared too much t+ want to pull me down: but the sou friendship came te a et to be re my friendship, as I at first was led to suppose, But I also found out that no man, however inclined, will hurt @ woman if she really desires to remain good. This, I think, ap- Diies to almost all men—to all just ordinary men. Of youree « girl may lose @ position, favors, but if eny girl has to pay to keep a position the case is hopeless, She might better sell herself outright. If all girls refused to give favors to hold Positions, business would soon b: remarkably ‘eafe place for ¢) For work has to be done and people ave to do it, and nothing e've but work would be required, ‘There I think the quality of indus- ¢riousness comes in, Ifa girl is lagy, then, too, she ts lost. Why should she expect pay for work not per- formed? And if she ts not giving work she may be sure ahe will be required to give somthing In lieu of it, for in the business world there te no giving; there {s nothing but shrewd bargaining on the part of the men, and should be on the part of ‘women who have entered the field. Pereonally I have gained the knowledge that business life means hard work, but not to let even the thought of it creep into my other Ufe. ‘That as long as 1 can give gvod work there will be @ position some- where as long as it js needed. That morality depends on the Individual and her devires concerning her fu- ture, ‘That sheemay be good or bad, whether she be rich or poor, a bual- ness woman or « society wonthn. Frankly I think the business woman thinks far more deeply about the Mmoralities because of the ws fatt that idleness sometim people into mischief which ‘busy peo- Die have no time to think of.

THE STENOGRAPHER'S FIRST ESSENTIAL 18 REFINEMENT. Dear Madam—I am a stenographer, ind have been for five years, and Quite realize that the It of some stenographers are no * of rosea''— but I must eay that when a gtri ts in the employ of an individual, com- Dany, corporation, nterpriee or whatever it may be, she is supposed to conduct herself in a genteel man- ner and dress according to the salary she is making, no matter what her other eources of income may be, then she will leave no opening for oriti- clam. The first and foremost thought of any stenographer is to be refined in manner and not attract the atten- tion of men in the office with her or who may enter on some business with the firm, Her mind should be on her work, and I cannot see !f she is a conscientious worker and her time taken up with Ber work, how she can etop to consider whether or not her employer {8 looking at and admiring her womanly charms, The girl who works and wine is the one who not only attends to her ‘work but is refined in manner and in dress, and her relations with the ™en around her of business only. No one can do two things at the game time and do both well, and my aim in business has always been to attend to basincas and leave pretty clothes and drawing room mani: at home. ONE WHO KNOW! POLITENESS AND RESPECT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Dear Madam—Pollteness and re- are necemsary in order to have politeness and respect for oneself, The trouble ts, in most offices the stenographer pays more attention to every one's affairs than her own, In order to prevent flirting @ girl should answer politely and say ether “You, air’ or “No, sir." Very seldom is it that more words quired, If you don't know you don't know, imn't any more to be and if you do know say ao tn as few 4 after saying morning” or “Good after- noon" the stenographer should kind- ly return to her seat and attend to her work, But very few girls do so, ‘They take their time about anaw ing @ question and then @ conver tion is bound to ensue.

She should also avoid calling any one, elther male or fe- male, by the first name. So if the irle will try t) De real good they surely succeed and not be classed as filrts, The young girl has it to her advantage, as she is still considered a child and te usu- | ally treated accordingly.
