THE MODERN GIRL.

Sir, —•! can say that " Mister Ledger " is right in all he says. Tha modern girl thinks foo much of pleasure and of danc-> , irig at tho fashionable cabarets. So loaK as she does not have to pay then it is all; right. The ty pistes ox to-day go to these dances and arrive home at one and two in the morning. How can they be ready to work in an offce tho following day? Then they wonder Why tho employer loses his temper at their careless work. Whose fault is 'it ? If all the ' employers are going to give their typistas such privileges, all I can say is that they are encouraging gossip. lam &ot going to hsve it- in my office. I. would ask " One of the Mighty " not to sidestep and run down the position of office boy. I put more trust in my office boy than in my typiste, and that's straight. If 41 One of the Mighty " can writo only remarks'like that, then it is better that she should keep quiet, as she is only weakening the case of her party. Woman Hater.

Sir,—-" Mister Ledger's " letter jr» Saturday's isiuo hits the mark. I iJonsidsr that the present-day office girl is not only all ha says, but is a born ;flirt, especially if she is passably good-looking. They have studied tha art of " svaooging " to such an extent, that it has become a menace. Having a good tima is their chief amusement, and more than often they introduce it into business life. Wh«n one gets tired of showering expensive en-' tertainmeat on them they soon pass him by, and on with the ! next one. The art of looking young is one of their strong points. Shingled or buster-cut Hair, short skirts, and the innocent baby stare, is their stock-in-trade. Can you wonder men are not marrying them? Digger. I ; j I 1
