university, is clever and very keen to learn, good-looking, but not at all the type to imagine every man in the office-and there are only two other women to a dozen men-desperately attracted to her. It is her manner, or rather her kick of offee manners, that threatens to spoil her career at the very outset.
For instance, she omitted the first morning to shake hands when introduced to the staff. Later she rang the bell in her employer's room for one of the clerks instead of going next door to ask question-she, the most junior member of the staff, with everything to learn and nothing to offer in service.
These are all small matters, but the cumulative effect is great. Now the architect is wondering if he will be able to retain her as a pupil, since, naturally, he does not wish to have his staff upset-there are those among them who have been with him and his brother and father for more than 40 years, beginning as office boys and working their way up.
IT is this "working her way up" that some of
the modern girls fresh from the university seem unable to do. Possibly they do not realise that there is still a strong prejudice against women in some of the older professions, such as the law, medicine and the Civil Service, that politeness costs nothing, but serves un infinite purpose with both young and old men, who bitterly resent a know-all attitude on the part of a
young woman.
