This friend showed mo a letter from a well known firm asking her for a competent sten- ographer, One of the requirements was as follows: ‘Please do not send us a work of art; we are not interested in art.” Some time later I spoke of Miss Powder and Paint to one of the beads of firm that employs fifteen to twenty stenographers. This man usually dictates about forty to fifty letters a day, and has tn his tine seon many girls co..e and go, He says that Miss Simplicity can be relied upon, also that he would rather dictate to her as she does not seem to stand out like a finger post, Miss Botty H. says that Miss Powder and Paint makes every one turn around and smile. Did Miss Betty H. try to analyze those smiles? Does she ever guess the thoughts back of them? Re- cently returning home on @ Pull- man I became acquainted with some commercial travellers. at one of the stops a Miss Powder ard Paint got on. I watched the faces of my __ fellow-travellers, Ninety per cont. of their smiles were derisive. Later in the day a Miss Simplicity who had natural beauty, got on, How difreront were the siniles! In the smoking compartment I mentioned the two girls and led the conversation to Miss Powder and Paint, One man said, “Ob, they are all right when you feel foolish, but I wouldn't trust them behind my back.’ Another sald: . “If girls think they deceive any one by thelr cosmetics I pity them.” Still another said: “If they try to deceive by the use of cosmetics for beauty’s sake, why shouldn't they be deceitful in other things?” AN ADMIRER OF MISS SIM- PLICITY.
