' I hate three kinds cf men. First, the man who addresses a young woman weighing about 180 pounds as "little girl." , ; Second, the man who calls his wife (probably 10 years his junior) "mamma" in public. Third, the man who refers to se rious women as business "girls." Come to think of it, I hate the wo men who do it, too. And I hope that every time you 1iear the phrase "busi ness girls" you will squirm and pro test vigorously. Because there's a great difference between "business girls" and "business women." More over, we'll have no equality in busi ness as long as we permit the phrase "business girls" and do not retaliate by calling men "business boys!" When I hear the hated phrase, ghosts of sob-sister bfurbs float through' my mind "Advice to Business Girls" what clothes they shall wear as fits their lowly estate. "Why Men Won't Marry Business Girls." "Shall Business Girls Chew Gum?" And more oi that. They build homes for busi ness "girls" where the creatures are Advice to Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Just Be Dignified. D-ar Iit Fairfax: I am ?i and era ployed by a manufacturing concern as of fice manager, earning a salary of 35 per vi enk. Tho vice president of this concern Is a widower (about 4a years old and has no children). Ha is constantly telling mo that I am the nicest young lady he ever met and goes as far as telling me of his love (but never mentions marriage to me). As a rule I never pay any attention to -rhat he Is saying, tiut .here of late my girls 'A ithe office hare noticed his, actions and ".'Ave come to me with tittle stories telling tne ho7 much gossip Is going around the office. ANXIOUS. Just go or conducting yourself ' with quiet dignity. ' Attend to- your work and don't lay any stress on anything your em ployer says. - You might even tell him that you have discovered that the office force is gossiping about you and that you feel sure he will not want to "cause you to be subjected to -criticism. When a man tells " a girl that he loves her and does "not back up that declaration with the genuine and henest expression of a desire to have her for his wife, the girl had better keep a level head and' discount bia ardor and the value thereof. Wer I : In your place I should either make It impossible t or the man to' drag his eemi-lovemaklng into of fice hours or' tell 'him with quiet dignity that lie was placing roe In a difficult posi tion.

This spring I niet a man, nonthcatrical, four years, older than I. The summer brought deep tove to us. He "wants me to become his 'wife, but although I love him dearly I feel that marriage would not make us hap py. , He could not be happy with a wife In ray profession, as" he is a man who wants his wife In his home and I know I could not be happy were I to give up the stage. What do you advise us to do? A MISERABLE GIRL. All I can do Is advise you to make up your mfnd what you really want in this world, and how much you will sacrifice to have It. None of us can have everything, and the happy people are those who have a real sense of values, and who, knowing Vihat they prize, make an honest effort, to get it. On the one hand, love Is offered you. On the jther hahd, there Is a .profes sion which also requires sacrifice, effort, diplomacy, and which Is filled with disap pointments. Balance your life on the stage, your faith In your own ability to succeed, (gainst your love of a man and your faith in your own ability to make marriage a success. Which will you choose? ' Yon Mnst Decide. Dear Miss Fairfax - X am 21 and deeply in love with a man who Is a widower, and has three children. Now these three chil dren are t.

I hope you will answer , "yes," but I. will follow whatever advice you mays give me. . - .. CLARA. What will be your attitude toward tftls man's children: If you married their father? Are you going to estrangs him from, them, or will you try to win them,, to keep the household together and to take a responsi ble interest tn them' and to mother, the youngest? Are you Just thinking of this : marriage in terms of-your own emotions and selfish desire? Are you Imagining that you must nave this man's love In order to be happy? Or are you seriously willing to be a helpmate and: to Justify yourself for dis regarding the natural fears and i.rejudlces of his-children? Think It over. Make a fair decision. I cannot look Into your heart and hie, and. above all, I cannot guarantee the outcome of any situation,, you know. .

Poor thing! Ah well, she' just a girl and when she gets old enough to drop the girl she may drop the business, too. She's only in business until she can be a married woman, for of course, nobody 6peaks of the "married girl." And as she has only one eye on her job and the other on matrimony, let's hope business gets riu of her quick! But the buseness woman is an in dividuality. She's serious about busi ness. She has her mind glued to her work for at least eight hours a day, and when the job requires it, for all of the 24. She's able to buy a Liberty bond or two without suddenly ab breviating her meals or changing her living quarters. She likes men, but she doesn't squander her income on cheap fripperies to attract the cheap kind, and when she marries it's for some higher consideration than a meal ticket! The business woman is an adult with a mind. Don't let anybody call her a "business girl."

It is useless for women to be knitting stockings if they make better clerks or nurses. War work directors should avoid put ting Square pegs in round holes. Elimination of waste in human force is vital to efficiency and the ultimate winning of the war, and it is my opin ion that women will have to be reg istered and classified in accordance with their ability if they are to render their full worth in war work." This statement was made by Mrs. Frances C. Axtell, member of the United States Employes' Compensa tion commission, the only woman ever named by any president for such a federal commission. This commis sion was recently created in the inter est of economy and efficiency to both the government and to those who serve it. It is the outcome of the congressional enactment of last year which provides "compensation for em ployes of the United States suffering injuries while in the performance of their duties, and for other purposes." Womin at Arsenals. In a report to the women in in dustry committee, by Mrs. Axtell, she suggested that women might do much of the work performed by men at the arsenals. She suggests that they might make and inspect the govern ment uniforms and thus release men engaged in manufacturing them. She believes that they might also make the rope and twine used, and be relied upon for most -of the small arms which are made at the arsenals. Mrs. Axtell sees no limit to woman's ability in any of the suggested spheres, and her opinion is given after keen, careful study of the situa tion from many angles. "The hazards among the women who are replacing the men in war work will be greater than ever be fore," said Mrs. Axteli, "and it is most important that women be pre pared to do their part. The great problem today is the co-operation of business and government."
