"Why don't you give it a try. It might work and if you do not let them know too quickly how much you know, they will probably think you are bright and learned it on the job," Millie replied.
It was decided that Lynn would look for a job the next day, but despite her temptation, it would be best not to apply at her former business.

Her suit was in good taste and her makeup was not overdone but attractive. A more subdued nail polish had been exactly applied the evening before. Her purse, shoes and accessories were becoming. Luck was with her since a clerk typist had just been fired and she was granted an interview immediately. Allen had been interviewed many times for jobs, but this time there were differences.
After her employment forms had been completed, Lynn became aware of Mr. Severs eyes reviewing her from head to toe, hesitating briefly at the bust and calves of her legs. His questions were a bit unusual since marital status and free time activity did not seem pertinent to the position.
Finally he stated, "You will do as far as I am concerned, but the final approval has to come from Mrs. Brown." Mrs. Brown then came into the room and Mr. Severs departed.
After several questions relative to experience, Mrs. Brown agreed to hire her, but with some slight misgiving, provided she could pass the typing test. Lynn turned out a perfect letter.
"All right, honey, you have the position," she concluded, "but you must remember to dress modestly at all times, and your dresses should not be worn too short. Do not become too friendly with the men, since most of them are married, but this will not stop them from flirting with an attractive young lady such as yourself. You can start tomorrow."
