The question WAS put TO several ladies'
In the treasury department. Before
any one Of them had time to reply the
questioner proceeded to answer his
own interrogatOry.
1T is because they are held back by
members Of their own SEX" he said.
Some time ago a laIy In one division
I know Of WAS so favorably regarded
Of that division. but as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks Of the same sex became indig-
nant and united In a protest. They de-
clared that they could never work un-
der her; that they would q thousand
times rather have q man than n woman
