How Conditions Clianseil
"Since this person's time wns needed
to interview the clrls npphlnc for
office, industrial nnd nurnln8 positions
nnd in inctlKittlnc the linns asking
for employes, it beeame nwnr to
tell seekers for domestic help that M(

8x or seven iers oro. Miss Smith
pointed out. the etnplojimnt depart
ment of the Y. W C A consisted n1
xnoftt cntlrelj of p'licemenf In domestic
service. At that time the Industrial
nnd office fields were not iimiir sir's in
large numbers, and dunn-MIc "en be
wn the chief brnueh nf work that girls
looked to to earn a In in,;
"Not onlv do the refuse to take
domestic fcithe," Miss Smith said.
"but iri tin? few pises that we hixro
placed, most uinatit-fnctory conditions
developed." This, she said, wns duo
to tho fact that tho flrls were not
trained to do domestic service, nnd were
found too Incompetent to be satisfac
tory. Five weekly conferences, giving nc
tual, practical assistance In qualify
Ing n girl to obtain industrial, nursing,
department store nnd office work, arc
scheduled li the awoclatlon to begin
October .'1, and continue each Monday''
night. At the close of this scries others
will be arranged.
Present opportunities for employ
ment of glrln under twent-one mid
present educational advantages for the
samu group are the subjects for the
opening confnrcnce. Miss Dorothea dc
Schwcinitz, placement secretary of the
Junior cmplojinent service. ITi'J'J Cherry

HERE'S A LADY MINUS SHOE;
WHArS A REAL LADY TO DO?
Suppose You're on Manheim Grandstand and Half Your Foot
gear Slips Off (and Under) Cynthia, Please Reply
Plen.se, Cnth!n, tell ub what this
lady should have done.
Am? she explained to the sympathetic
club attendant after it was all over,
they were new shoes; nnd just n shade
too smnll, although flhe can wear fives
nnd used to wear fours.
She bad bought them particularly for
the tennis matchcn nt Mnnhclm, nnd
she must say. they had almost spoiled
her day for her.
It was this way : One of those shoes
kept hurting nnd pinching nnd nclilng
until, on her word of honor, she thought
she would go crazy. All through the
Anderson-Hunter affair she managed to
bear it. but then she couldn't stand it
any longer. Plnnlly she slipped the
plagued thing off In n porfeitly quiet
nnd ladylike manner, nnd breathed a
sigh of relief.
She felt better after that and began
to enjoy life, although sho was a little
afraid that some one would notice what
she had done. Had this happened she
would, on her word of honor, have
curled up and died. However, nobodj
saw, nnd for the time being all went
well.
It must have been n quarter of nn
hour Inter that she mnde the horrible
iliscoerj that the shoe was gone. A
hastv examination of her immediate
icltiit reu-alcd nothing but tho nc
nue of its departure. The plagued thing
