WHAT We OWL 70 woA~.
Ever They Have Been the Makers
of tho Home and ProvldArp
Of Comfort.

Social progress with primitive wom-
sn was stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, TO dress
md to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
Of the home or shelter. It fs the 70
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that digs the burrow
Tor her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as homo for
hers. The human female moro than
all the rest created her homo. But
not only ia this true. but she diheren-
lated the home, and all parts OF the
most elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account.
The first homes were cherries
saves Fire could not be made in
them because OF the smoke. 30 wom-
en- sought out cave with an opening
In the rear, or rock shelter with
high curved roof. When she became
dweller in a tent she searched for
tue oldest wood, learned the myste-
les of the fue, problem and even In
vented the coral to induce the wind
to draw a little Of the smoke there
from and to increase her comfort.
To the women of the household NO
are indebted for the oven, the chin
ney and the chimney corner, the
kitchen. the dining room, the family
room, the separate bed chamber. 1t
nas been a wonderful evolution, re-
cutting in comfort, taste and morality

in an expressive sweep of his arms. Then,
with studied and exaggerated politeness, he
advanced upon Harley and turned him gently
toward the door, @Goodby, Harley"
"Don't you want the contract inquired
that perplexed individual. Il don't under

@Of course you don't. You don't under

you're alive. You don't understand that
my time is important. You don't under
stand that package of Grandfather Oats

his tone changed to anger, @if you don't
move in the next three seconds I'll fire you
out!"
ayes, and you don't understand I've got
the business. That's what I've been trying
to make you understand ever since l came
in!"
@You!" cried Maxon in amazement. @You
landed Sexton-you? When? Howl"
Here's the order Tommy gave me the
tip; SO went over and landed him."
Maxon turned to his desk and pressed
call button. Tommy" he asked, when the
boy appeared, @did you give Harley the tip
about Grandfather's Oatso"
Eyes, SIR came the frightened reply;
"but didn't mean any harm, Mr.. Maxon.
1t was just joke"
"Don't lose your sense of humor. Keep
it up, Tommy. We still want the Standard
Oil Company, and we're perfectly willing to
do business with United States Steel. Keep
it up, while the going is good.
Harley, he asked, "did you talk fig
ures?"
ayes, Sir. He wanted to know if we
could do anything with hundred thousand
dollars and-Mr. Maxon, do l get back

Maxon made rapid calculation. "Twen-

@Five thousand dollars!" echoed Harley.
"Can you spare ten of it now?"
