COY YOUNG TYPIST
FATE OF A KISS A charming young typist appeared in a Berlin court recently to sue her late employer for six weeks' salary. She declared that he had dismissed her because he had come into the office one morning and caught her kissing one of his clients. Behaviour of that sort, he maintained, could not be tolerated by’ a respectable and old-fashioned firm. “But you did not dismiss me at once, did you?” said the typist, coyly, and the head of the highly-respectable and old-established firm had to admit that he did not. There had, in fact, been a considerable interval betw’een the crime and the punishment, and during that time the employer had himself attempted to kiss the typist. “When I refused to let you, you dismissed me,” she said, “and you did not seem to understand that because one may let one man kiss one that is no reason why one should let another.” The judge took the same view, and the young typist won her case.
