GIRLS IN OFFICES.
BIG SUCCESS IN COMMERCIAL WORLD. FAILURE IN POSITION OF AUTHORITY. A business man iii, conversation with a Gisborne Times represeiitaI tive. touched upon the question of j girls in offices. j In the course of conversation ho : paid' the lady members of his own ; staff the highest compliments, and j exhibited with pride a ledger that j had been kept 'by one of them. Ho . had found the girls, he taid, very | painstaking, very thorough and very -reliable. It would, he thought, j be a very difficult matter to displace I the girls .with men returning from the front, and he was strongly of ! the opinion that the services of every I girl, who had made good in an office, i should be retained. I While there is a place that a girl j can fill in the world of commerce, he i continued, she fails- absolutely when | placed in a position which gives her j any degree of authority. No man j cares to he dictated to by a woman, ' and the gentler sex certainly prefers to take instructions from a- man.
