THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
Ry Herbert j. Hangood

BY Herbert j. Hapgood
One tactful way of getting more
work out of employees. and at the same
time establishing mutually helpful
relation between employer and en-
ployed, is the business dinner party.
In fact, a large number of restaurants
in the business districts of all the
large cities, owe their existence to this
practice, which has become quite the
vogue among employers. who invite
their employees to dinner. and then
talk business. In a large downtown
restaurant in New York City the other
evening, Just before the closing hour,
1t was noticed that there was hardly
"A table whose cloth was not pencil
marked. On one was apparently the
outline of an advertising campaign, on
smother the estimate of a large print
ing contract, and on still another the
arrangement of an office force.
While such actions could never be
considered good etiquette, the tenden-
cy to do business over the dining table
Is almost Irresistible. More Contracts
have been signed and more deals
closed over coffee and cigars than is
commonly supposed.
The idea of business banquets to
which the whole executive staff and
sales force are invited at the expense
of the firm has been proved TO be an
adequate way OF imparting instruction
and inspiration to all concerned. 1t IL
good thing for employer and em-
ployes to meet occasionally on COM
mon grund and mix socially Merely
good time Is not tho only motive;
for 81 dinner of this sort is one of the
hest ways on record of getting right
down to business.

The Tribune triumphantly exclaims
that 1t now has abundant proof Of its
assertion that the Church interferes in
politics. and the proof. more particular
ly, Is that the News" would not dare
to print such matter as it has printed
lately without being ordered to do so.
We are left to guess as to what mat
ter" Is referred to. We have said that
Mr.. Taft, If elected. will make an ex-
cellent president. We have said that
Mr.. Bryan has many of the qualities
that would make him a good chief ex-
ecutive. We have endeavored to give
an estimate of the character and work
of the late Mr.. Cleveland Why do not
the ours in the Tribune Office indicate
In some way, at which of these features
they are barking? II 1t is Church inter-
ference to speak a word of compliment
of Mr.. Taft, then the Church has i'm
terfered in the offices OF the New York
World. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the
Atlanta Constitution and scores of 9TH
er Independent journals of the country
The Tribune has no substantial peg on
which to hang its accusation Of Church
interference in politics, and so 1t grasps
a shadow.

II the citizens on the West side, who,
very properly, protest against the propo-
sitlon to establish a verltable he'll gate in
their locality, are in earnest, they might
apply to the courts for protection. Nei-
Their the Mayor, nor the Chief of Police,
nor the City Council, nor all combined,
can legally consent to the use of any
building for immoral purposes. Petit
lions to the city authorities may be
useless, If they have decided to make
the change for some reason or other,
but an appeal to the courts should have
the desired result.

WE ARE oPTINnsTs.

Americans are natural optimists'
They generally try to find the sunny
side. They always believe in the tu-
ture.
Only a few years ago the annual
appropriations of Congress seemed ap-
Mailing. "bilion-dollar Congress
was the subject of comment all over
the country. But we have two-billion
dollar Congresses, and fair prospect
Of a three billion dollar Congress IN
the not distant future. But the pros
poct is not alarming any more.
II has been discovered that this is
n wealthy country. The crops alone
are valued, this year. 1T is said. at
eight billion dollars. This sum repre-
sents nearly nine times the interest,"
hearing debt OF the country. So we can
AFFORD to pay billions of dollars for the
government. This is the optimist Vlew'
There is, unfortunately, another SIDE
If the wealth of the country were as
evenly distributed as the burden OF
taxation is the expenditure would
hardly be felt. That Is very true. But
somehow the great mass of the people
are not blessed with farms from
which to gather an abundant crop or
with bank accounts, or government
bonds, They are laborers, earning very
little, comparatively speaking, While
they are made to pay their full share
of those billions that are needed for
government and public purposes. Every
increase of public expenditure falls
oppressively heavy upon that large
part of the nation which is staggering
under the yoke. Every unnecessary in
crease is sure to stimulate the strug-
gle between the classes. Every care
full observer believes that the contest
between the "haves" and the have
nots'' which, is to mark this century
will be fought out first of all upon
American soil.
But American optimism regards even
this coming conflict with confidence in
the final outcome. 1t believes that
the right remedy win always be found,
when needed. The Republic that stood
the storm of the Civil War and came
out of II stronger and more united, will
endure the coming effort at just dis
tribution of the nations resources. The
settlement of that question. too, win
be in harmony with true democratic
principles.

Do You Want to Succeed

II So
Always remember that the French
woman's practice of being well shod and
well gowned is the best as neat feet and
daintily gloved hands take of much Of
the shabbiness in a welI-worn gown.
Don't forget that hot and tepid baths
are the best beauty preservers. and that
the girl who looks as though she liked
her tub is generally the best type OF the
English lassie.
Remember that boot trees double the
life Of your foot gear, and are thus most
profitable investments.
Remember that a frayed shirt binding
is not the ideal trimming for any dress,
and that muddy skirts and frayed braid
are the hall marks OF the slovenly girl.
Don't disguise from yourself that al
though chiffons are charming attributes
10 a toilette, chiffon sometimes means
their little translations-rags
Remember that pins are useful in their
proper places. but are neither useful nor
ornamental when they replace buttons or
hooks. says Home Notes.
If you are an artistic girl you must not
let your artistic tendencies make your
bizarre-the picturesque and really artistic
IS never oddly noticeable.

SAVES STOCKINGS.

a practical-minded society maiden has
discovered that she can save wear on
her silk stockings by pOwdefing the in
side OF her slippers.
This simple operation permits the silk
and shoe to rub together with decidedly
less fricticn.
Another girl who wears eXQuisitely en-
broidered stockings with all her party
frocks has hit upon a plan that WORKS
well with her for preventing holes. She
used 10 wear holes at the back Of the
heel where the slipper edge cut across.
Now all her slippers have a band. not
more than half an inch wide, OF velvet,
the same shade, pasted just within the
top of the edge.
