In the vanguard comes Miss B, A. Godwin, organising secretary of the Women Clerks and Secretaries' As
ociation.
"The situation of the typist and her boss is fantastically exaggerated always" Miss Godwin told the News Chronicle.
In all the thousands of contacts] with young women working in offices] that we have had here, we have known of only two or three cases of girl getting to emotional tangles
with their basses,
THE POOR BOSS!
The accountant to the Women's Electrical Association stated: "It is "From our experience of dealint most desirable that the typist out with 2,000 typists and secretaries her employer should work together { Th year in London alone, I can say amicably. No good team work canl definitely that the relationship be- be done without mutual under-

.
There is to earthly reason why the typist should be singled out for this kind of baseless attack.
JUST A FEW TANGLES
"The typist is out to earn her liv- ing, not to make love to her employer or to be made love to by him. The majority of girls would deeply resent anything other than the business re- lationship. She goes outside the office to find her boy friends.
"No giri with common sense wants to get mixed up with a married man.

He pulled some of them up and found that they were saturated with

"The trouble is that when a certain type of woman sees a man and a woman working in harmony together; she is
apt to think there is something more between them
The world in general is prone to take for granted that there is some- thing in it when boss and typist agree. This stupid misunderstand- th is responsible for some of the ridiculous rumours one hears about girls working in offices."
