Excerpt: "Dressed in a plain white shirt waist and an equally plain
black cloth skirt, Miss Hazel Weir, on weekdays, was merely a unit in
the office force of Harrington & Bush, implement manufacturers.
Neither in personality nor in garb would a casual glance have
differentiated her from the other female units, occupied at various
desks. A close observer might have noticed that she was a bit younger
than the others, possessed of a clear skin and large eyes that seemed
to hold all the shades between purple and grey—eyes, moreover, that
had not yet begun to weaken from long application to clerical work. A
business office is no place for a woman to parade her personal charms.
The measure of her worth there is simply the measure of her efficiency
at her machine or ledgers. So that if any member of the firm had been
asked what sort of a girl Miss Hazel Weir might be, he would probably
have replied—and with utmost truth—that Miss Weir was a capable
stenographer."
