cited to a high pitch, and they inquired
almost in one breath Whatever is to
be seen inside ~

which $50 women are employed in
embroidering cIrpets," answered the

Chow we should just like to have
peep at themr' exclaimed the ladies.
81 am sorry 1 cannot comply with
your wish,r said the gentleman, with
a shrug of his shoulders, "but our rules
do not admit of the slightest exception.
Truth 10 say, and there is nothing
special To be seen, nor is there any
question of trade secrets. The reason
why admission is forbidden to strangers
is simply because every woman natural
ly looks up, and her attention is dis
tractcd from her work from one to five
minutes. SIpposing, now, each wO-
man wastes couple of minutes in
this way, that will make in the case of
$50 women, a loss TO the firm of 300
minutes, or five hours, and we cannot
allow that"
