AFTER all, associating with the store family day after day is not so
unlike going to school, is it girls? There is no pleasanter sight than
to watch the younger set enjoying the tripping of the light fantastic
toe at the luncheon hour in the employees' rest room. Another pleasant
feature of this hour of recreation is to see with what good humour and
patience the senior employees gather around the walls in order to allow
the young folk scope for using their superfluous energy.
Always, too, one or another can be found to play the waltz or two-step
for the merry-makers. This is as it should be, and the spirit of
"give and take" thus inculcated will be of inestimable service in the
building of character.
