THE TYPIST NOSE
A REAL TIME-WASTER “One .of our typists was seen to powder her face 15 times in one hour,” said a welfare worker at one of the largest Nottingham factories, where a rule exists that girls must not powder during office hours. “It was found that so much time was lost that the order had to be issued. “Even now you can find as many as 30 girls in the retiring rooms standing powdering before the mirror.” Another welfare superintendent declared she forced girls who were too “got up” to wash the stuff off. “The average Nottingham girl thinks too much of her complexion to make up, but every girl powders.” she added, “and I don’t blame them. Think of the smoky atmosphere.”
