though they are less frequently found
in out-door o qupations. It is only I

"There are not many positions
open to wompen for personnel work.
It takes a long time and a great deal
of experience to make a company feel
sure that you can handle women. On i
the other hand, where a company em-
ploys a good many women as well as
men, they nearly always have two orI
three women who - interview other
women and deal with men."
Professor Yoakum cited a numberI
of unusual positions occupied by
women, some being graduates of the I
University of Michigan. "One woman
is hired by big companies as consul-
tant in -office management to make
job directions of all the offices and
advise them in regard to re-arrange-
ment of organization and number of
employees needed so as to reduce ex-

hear its call, answer it, and fail in the1
attempt. It is a precarious career,
and it has mnore aspirants than thej
profession can absorb, and as a re-
sult there are many who have been
disappointed. The aspirant should be
able to live independent of stage earn-
ings for the first year or two, for the
worst hardships and disappointments
come during this time. The aspirant
must have a love for dramatic art,
a capacity for hard work, and an
ambition not easily discouraged, she
must have an open mind, unusual in-
telligence, and a great amount of
courage.

far less exacting than those on the
professional stage.
IHowever acting is not the only
phase open to women in the theatrical
world. There is the writing of plays,
where sex does not interfere in the
least. Some women have become suc-
cessful as business managers, stage
directors, but they are in the minor-
ity. Many undertake the teaching of
 dancing, the directing of pageants or
plays for civic organizations, settle-
ments or schools. But the one who
is set on acting must first be sure
of his talent and perseverence before

eyes upon an aivertising career may

sex have been successful in that field.
There are 1239 women who belong to
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World. They are employed as
copy writers, except for umechanical
material, advertising managers and in
other capacities.
It is important that they have in-
timate knowledge of the technica. as-
pects of the various departments of
an advertising organ and must have
an understanding of various activ-
ities which combine in the produiction
of advertising. A woman must show
