 Why" and she gave her notebook an angry fling, "this thing here, I warrant, has about one page in ten filled with business that needed to be transacted! The rest is gush and sffectation! And yet the men pride themselves on their quickness and their lack of red tape and their abil- | ity to cope with big situations. And you won't find one man in a dozen who doesn't make supercilious re- marks about detail and say that he hasn't time to attend to that-that's what he keeps clerks for!
 'T heard MT. Brown this morning tell his wife over the phone that he simply couldn't get home to her 1un- cheon, he was so husy-his desk was simply piled with work. He was very sorry, but business had to come be fore pleasure and she'd please make his excuses to the guests and so on all that rot.
 Well, expected busy day when heard that and so I prepared for rapid dictation. We'll, what did I get? To one man he wrote that the matter was on his desk and as soon as he had time he'd look it over and write him in detail, which he begged leave to trust was satisfactory! And to another he wrote that business, as he very likely knew. wasn't what it might be. and therefore he wouldn't be able to go into the matter, but we might in some months time-per- haps-with which he trusted he might sign himself very sincerely And to another that he was in doubt as to the advisability of taking out such and such a paper. just at present, but after due consideration he would write him further, and he desired, with great gusto, to subscribe him. self his obliged friend. And so on through the whole list! Why, there wasn't letter that couldn't have been done away with altogether, let alone being put off until after his wife's luncheon!
 "But all those letters made him think he was very busy man and I've no doubt that he thinks he's in dispensable to the company!
 Some day I'm going to run off a lot of form letters. saying that I'm very sorry, but I haven't yet had time to look into the matter, but will write further when time permits. I think it makes the men feel good to tell peo- pie they are too busy to think. Per. haps it might be well for me to offer my services as thinker for them,
 "They all know that they'll decide against whatever matter it Is that keeps pending! It's hypocritical at. titude, to say the least. They pretend to themselves that they're busy. They pretend to the man to whom they write that the matter really interests them and that they're really going to discuss it, and think 1t over, when they know they aren't even going to look at it again! And they pretend to the company that they're doing business eight hours day! And then they'll go home and pretend to their wives that they've had hard day!
 "Oh, I've known too much of them ever to marry one of them! Marriage Is purely a confidence game, as I see It, and when you lose confidence-or ! at If in r-ifhnI1f oI-1-iu ic ct1y<

"Oh, I've known too much of them ever to marry one of them! Marriage Is purely a confidence game, as I see It, and when you lose confidence-or start in without any-marriage Is sure to be failure!
 Yes, yes, I'm coming ss fast as I can!" She moved toward the door. Then she turned smiling countesnce to the bookkeeper.
 Here" she said, good naturedly, "just remember that what I said was all hasty. Perhaps those men do lot of pretending, but if you listen carefully you'll hear my own sweet voice telling MT. Jacobs. in one more minute, how extremely sorry I am that was delayed and that 1t was un- avoidable! And, do you know, I'd be fearfully angry if they dared inti- mate to me that l didn't earn my sal ary or that I wasted lot of valuable time just hearing myself talk!"

from Iowa that Senators Cmmins and

movement FOR the rcorga anlgation Of the

The only Progressive senators in the

who managed Colonel Roosevclt's cam
paign, and Senator Works OF California,
who refused to support either Roosevelt
or Taft. Senator Dixon was inclined 10
attach little importance to the movement
and Senator Works favors IT,
What can they do In view Of the fact
from the party?" Senator Dixon said, tle
refused 20 discuss the question Of the
af.iliation Of the Progressives IN the SEN

Progressive party to continue Its inde
