' Jury Awards Pension By MABEL WARNER RUGG. ,'ea girls have drifted from school into schoolteaching by thousands, not because they felt any particular call or inter est in the profession, not because they were particularly fitted for it, but because it appeared the only respectable thing they could do for a living untjl they got a husband. In later years a large part of this non-resistant mass of femininity has been caught into the current of busi ness life and has drifted- into the BJk waters of stenography. "his is not in any way a reflec tion on stenography as a vocation, for it is one of the most direct steps to business success. By the "bark waters of stenography" I mean :hat part of the profession'which holds the misfits, the "key-pounders'" who are the bane of every business man's life? the familiar faces in every em ployment office; those who will be earning 10 years from now very much the same mediocre salary they earned when they began. , Stenography Fundamentals. - , Before you1 attempt stenography at all, find out whether you have the following fundamentals, neces sary to efficiency. Do you' have a capacity for detail? Are you de pendable not, in matters of honor alone, hut more in matters of mem ory. Will you keep appointments, and remember other persons' ap- intments? Have you a keen sense time? Do you gain quick and accurate impressions?. Is .your hearing good? Are .you naturally observant Is your reactioa ' time fast on perception? flave you suf ficient Vocabulary? Is your knowl edge of English structure good enough to supplement your employ er's possible lacks in that direction? ! If you are not qualified, do not waste time in" learning to pound keys; foiythat is all you will ever do. Antf forever banish the in'sane idea that there is no place for. you in the business world not already filled to overflowing. Listen, for a moment to me story of oopme Delevan. president of tW National Woman's Association of Commerce inVChicago. Six years agoshe started out with an Idea and $65,'Sroday she is worth $650,00(fc Her idea? Mariufacturine doll wigs, afflf dis tributing them all over the, .Amer ican continent. ' ' "i The Two Little Clerks, Two little clerks, turned off by th-f Union Pacific lately, came into my office the other day, "tired to death of of shuffling tickets. They weren't fitted for clerical work. I told them the story I have told you of Sophie Delavan, and her planning and working on her own business, nurs ing it from a baby attempt to a flourishing industry. We planned together and those two bright-eyed girls are forming a partnership to make and market an original little household de'licacy. If they grow in ability and vision as they have the capacity in them to grow, this little project will develop into a flourishing catering business. These girls were noUthe type of "would-be" business woman who comes to work rouged and enameled. They ' did not wear cerise, low necked, geqrgetti blouses, nor bead ed, black satin gowns,, fit for even ing dress. , Neither was their hear ing impeded by huge lumps of hair over the cars. They were dressed as a business woman should dress, conservatively, with grace and modesty;' their throats wece decently covered; their skirts were decently long. , If you go into the business world, try to approximate such a rtiethod of dressing yourself. If you are not fitted for 'stenography, 'use your imagination foK another business. Jf you are fitted for stenography, then find, out what type of business you are best fitted for and use your stenograpny to get into a stenog rapher's position in that business. Then work, work, work, using yodr stenography as a means to an end, for more success. , Editor's Not.
