his private office and standing while she
explains her Grand When he receives her
in his office he does il much as he would in
his own home, with hat of and coat on,
He observes the little courtesy OF finding
her chair and placing 1t comfortably. by
explaining there are certain demands he
must hasten 10 meet, he slgnallZes his de
sire that his caller be brief, and TO accentu.
ate the request he may stand during the

porch thimble party. In extending the in
vitation ask them to bring their needle
