A PERSONALITY CHART.
Culture is not the "only thing which makes a perfect secretary in America. Listen to what some prominent New York business men have to say about personal attractiveness. They have prepared a “personality chart” for use in business training schools, and here are some of the points to be remembered by a would-be applicant for a secretarial post: Her dress should be of “conservative cut and colour.” Accessories should be “immaculate, free from signs of wear, and feminine.” ~ , Hats should be “modish and becoming, but not rakish or bizarre,” shoes “clean, straight of heel, and conservative,” and jewellery “unobtrusive and appropriate.” Hair should be “clean, vital, neat, suitably coiffured for daytime wear, and of natural colour.”
