I stood and watched a college
senior try to peel an orange the
other day. He made an awful mess
of the endeavor. I finally con
eluded that no man was truly edu
cated until he knew how to skin
an orange. Here are a few ac
cepted methods.
'Secretarial
careers are
opening up'
Governmental director
encourages women
wanting clerical jobs
Opportunities for career service
for women are increasing con
stantly, a study of government
compiled figures on employment
of women in clerical positions re
veals, according to Mrs. Adria C.
Beaver, director of studies of the
Washington school for secretaries.
United States census figures
are cited by Mrs. Beaver to show
that from 1920 to 1930, the period
when office machinery and equip
ment was coming into general use,
the number of clerical workers in
creased by nearly 30 percent while
the total population of the coun
try increased only about 16 percent.
Even more startling figures
cover the period from 1900 to 1930,
when the population gained about
61 percent with the number of
clerical workers increasing by
more than 300 percent.
They used to be men.
An interesting sidelight on the
particular appeal of office work to
women as a career is shown by the
percentage of stenographers and
typists who were women in 1870
as contrasted by the percentage
in 1930. Slightly less than 5 per
cent of the 1870 stenographers
were women, while in 1930 the
percentage was somewhat over 95.
Based on government statistics,
Mrs. Beaver, in a bulletin pre
pared for students of the school in
Washington and the companion
school in New York, predicts that
these opportunities will continue
to expand with the development
and improvement of office ma
chinery. For, according to the figures,
the greatest expansion in office
careers for women as well as men
has occurred during the period
when the modern office equipment
was being Invented and coming
into general use.
Mrs. Beaver also finds as a re
sult of her survey that the im
proved equipment of offices has
attracted in recent years a higher
type of employe. This improved
condition of the worker, she ex
plained, is unquestionably due to
the persons of higher education
who are being attracted to office
work.

TOMORROW NIGHT

Pearls ranging from one dainty
strand to any number are still
very popular for formal wear and
look stunning with most any color
or style of dress. Something dif
ferent in necklaces is a five strand
row of cleverly arranged cascading
pearls dropping from two golden
chains, which quiver with your
every movement.
Crested rings, bracelets and
lockets, which have sentimental as
well as ornamental value, will be
worn with formals this year as
usual.
And for the new heavier type of
lewelrv Gold outshines all else.
Wilma Comstock DG r.doi-ns her
simple maroon velvet formal with
a heavy elaborate gold necklace in
the center of which is a large tour-
qouise stone.
Pear shaped rhinestones.
A necklace of brilliant rhine
stones sets off a strapless white
evening gown. Tiny glittering
pear shaped rhinestones, beauti
fully arranged in four rows and
dangling from the smallest of sil
ver chains. With this is a brace
let to match.
For the new up-sweep in coif
fures, madamoiselle may wear a
rhinestone hair clip of Lillies of
the Valjey to sweep the curls up
from the temple.
Back to 'baby aprons.'
For the sophisticated black form
al, a gilt bib of many chains and
a cuff of chains for the wrist add
the finishing touch.
Another charming necklace Is
one of enameled gilt with jade and
onyx drops down the front.
Mary Louise Simpson, Pi Phi
pledge, wears a wide, heavy neck
lace of amber stones inlaid in
gold. The center is a cluster of
smaller stones grouped in a circle
with a background of gold.
Alpha Chi Marilynn Harper goes
a-glitter with a blue rhinestones
of tiny squares arranged in one
row with bracelet to match. The
necklace looks stunning with her
dark blue velveteen formal.
Jane Shire has a novel necklace
consisting of a tiny procelain in
pansy with a small diamond in the
center, with the locket part at
tached to a tiny black velvet ribbon.
