I am out among the fellows a lot,
and hear them talk about this girl and
that girl and the way they act in of
fices. I would hate to have them say
such things about my sister, but she
tells me about going out alone to
lunch and other places with the man
for whom she works, and how they sit
and chatter in the office. It does not
seem right to me, as he is a married
man. Do you think I ought to tell her
what I think, and urge her to get an
other job?
AN ANXIOUS BROTHER.
I certainly do. You are not an anx
ious brother without reason. Evi
dently the man for whom your sister
works is more of a philanderer than he
is a business man, or else he would not
spend his time chatting with a pretty
little girl. And certainly no girl can
make a practice of going out to lunch
and places of amusement with her em
ployer without being talked about.
In the. right sort of business office a
girl is as safe as she would be in a
convent. Every one's time and atten
tion and thoughts are absorbed by
work. The men are chasing the Al
mighty Dollar, and not petticoats, and
no hint of sex enters into the relation
ship between men and women. Brains,
ability, skill, reliability are all that are
considered. __ ,
But the wrong sort of a business
office is the open door to perdition for
a weak or silly girl. It offers every op
portunity for an unscrupulous man to
take advantage of a girl’s lack of
knowledge and experience of the world.
