Social Interruptions. ''
A business girl should never' allow
her own, or any one's els affairs to
interfere with her job. This admoni
tion is intended for girls who are
new to the commercial world.' Ex
perienced workers know, and often
the knowledge has been gained at
great cost, the unwisdom of subor
dinating their work to unimportant
affairs of their own.
There is nothing, I believe, more
irritating to an employer than the
sight of one of his staff workers
chatting sociably over the telephone
or to a personal visitor when there
is an immediate and pressing need
for her services. It is necessary for
the new girl to learn to submit to
office discipline, and to realize that
her duties there, no matter of what
they consist, are of paramount im
portance, and should suffer no in
terference with her social activities.
A friend of mine took into his of
fice not long ago, to act as his sec
retary, -a young woman who had
never worked before. She was fresh
from a business training school, but
as she- had been recommended to
him by a friend as an unusually
bright girl, he was willing to take a
chance on her adaptability.
His former secretary, who had
been with him for years, had just
left to be married. He found his
new secretary a clever girl. She
took his dictation and transcribed
her notes with an ease and accuracy
which pleased him. She was equally
as proficient in learning and ac
complishing her other duties.
But while she was quick to learn
and did everything she had to do re
markably well, she attached too little
importance to her work. This was
evidenced by the fact that she would
allow clients and other business call
ers to wait for attention until she
leisurely finished whatever she hap
pened to be doing, even if it was
merely a social chat over the tele
phone with one of her many friends,
or a personal note which she wanted
to get off in the next mail, ijhe never

Chadron Club Picnic.
Members of the Chadron club
and their friends will hold their
annual basket picnic in Elinwood
park lhursday anernoon ana eve
ning. Supper will be served at
o'clock.
The Misses Lucille and Marie
Zimmer, accompanied by their par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Zimmer,
leave the first of the week for a
motor trip to the Minnesota lakes,
where they will spend the remaiu-
c.er ot the summer.
The Zimmer
family
came to
Omaha about a year ago from Lin
coln, Neb., where the Misses Zim
mer were graduated from the Lin
coln high school. During the past
year they were students at St.
Mary's college, Notre Dame, Ind.,
and expect to return there this fall.
They have made many friends in
the city and are a welcome addi
tion to the school set.
seemed in any hurry to finish a
purely personal activity just because
there were office duties waiting for
her.
If she had a visitor in the office
when her employer buzzed for her
she took her own time in answering
the call and usually, instead of dis
missing the visitor she would insist
on having her wait until she came
back.
This, of course, irritated Mr. R.,
especially when he found that she
didn't even respond to his emphatic
"Immediately, please," when he in
terrupted her once or twice with an
important commission.
But her last defection, and it was
that which broke the camel's back,
was her interruption three times the
other day in the course of her em
ployer's dictation, twice to answer
the telephone in her office and once
to call out some instructions to the
office boy as he passed the door.
Mr. R. decided to replace her, but in
doing so was interested enough to
tell her wherein" she failed.
If the girl took the kindly criticism
to heart, which she undoubtedly did,
she will make an excellent secretary
to her next employer. But, unfor
tunately for most inexperienced
girls, there are few business men
who possess the time or the inclina
tion to point out her mistakes to a
new girl, and so the knowledge
comes to her either at considerable
cost to herself or the unhappy ex
periences of others.
Salads and Vegetables
Substituted for Grvln
Foods.
In the student cafeteria at Prague
university, Czecho-Slovakia, run by
the American Y. W. C. A., the use
of salads and green vegetables as a
part of the diet has to be encouraged
by a patriotic suggestion, namely,
that the use of these substitutes for
grain foods will save the already
diminished supply of grains. Green
vegetables and salad dishes are un
known and are not liked. The peo
ple are accustomed to a heavier diet
and only necessity makes this ex
periment effective. In the same
cafeteria, which is the first in
Prague, girl students are being
trained to become cafeteria directors.

Visiting Nurses for Stu

services free while the American

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan with electric starting and lighting system, demountable rimi with 3-inch tires and
tire carrier, for every day in the year has no equal at a family car. Just as popular on the farm as it is
in the city. In fact, it fits the family demands in every vocation of life. Large, roomy seats, finely up
holstered. Plate glass windows make it an open car in pleasant weather, while in rainy and inclement
weather it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-proof. It is ideal for social functions, the theatre, or
parties; carrying the children to school, jpr for touring. It is not only comfortable, but really cosy, and
above all, economical in operation and maintenance, and yet with all it has the Ford merits of strength
and durability. We solicit your order for one. . Come in and see it. Leave your order with any of the
