In the cities girls are beginning to take the place of boys in offices and the reason assigned for the change is one that boys would do well to consider. The old-fashioned office boy, who swears, smokes cigarets and <s impertinent usually, and reads dime novels in a corner, or loafs when sent on an errand, is fast disappearing and it is predicted that in the course of time the office girl will have entirely taken his place. No one wants an impertinent, swaggering cigaret smoking boy about an office or as a clerk, bookkeeper or stenographer. Girls do not acqnire these detestable habits,- and are, therefore getting the places.
