A young land of pleasing appearance, pretty of face, and attractive walked into one of our stores a few days ago and asked for a position. The proprietor of the store had avacancy wich he was ready to have filled. Duly impressed by the young lady, he observed that her face was artificially treated for tints and color; but this was passed upon without prejudice. But the lip stick had turned the trick. It lost the girls a good job. She smeared on the carmine a little to heavily. The merchant may have been harsh in his judgement, but he was lord of the opportunity that had knocked at the door of this especial young lady. He acted within his rights—he wanted no lip-stick clerks. The moral is to be inferred. But this incident is a real one and is told without garnish.
