Ward sank into a chair. His aching mind

He remembered he had caught his friend
watching as he unlocked the safe. But
why should Marsh? He shook his
dizzy head.
Then Watson ushered Marsh into the

visible disparity between the clothes Of
American women and those OF American
men betokens some moral or social I'm
feriority in the men resentment becomes
almost an obligation on Englishmen. who
know her misapprehenslon.
The American man Is superior to the
American woman, and II his clothes be
bad he can well afford to carry a mere
dead weight Of this sort The American
mans indifference to clothes is proof OF
his unselfishness. His business in life
Is to make money to pay for those OF his
wife and daughters. his sons generally
must shift for themselves.
He idealizes his women folk and puts
himself to any pains so long as he be-
lieves, like the devotes who slash them
selves with knives in the temple Of their
gods, that he Is glorifying them. He is
content to regard himself as a plain piece
of machinery that turns out mohey, so
