none of them shows much interest

none or them SHOWS mucn interest
in. me.
The inference always seems to be,
when there is any close friendship
between employer and employe, that
it must necessarily be for immoral
ends. This is not true.
There are hundreds of doctors,
lawyers and business men right here
in Chicago who have secretaries or
stenographers whom they love bet
ter than they do their wives.
Why shouldn't they love them? A
man picks for his associates and in
innate friends, among men, those
who are interested in and conversant
with the. things in which he is in
terested.
Likewise, he likes a woman who
can talk sensibIy with him about the
topics in which he must be interest
ed-his business or profession.
This his wife either can't do or
won't do. This his stenographer will
do.
There's the first big item.

veloped in the past season and on ac-
count Of the war a keen interest In the
encouragement Of American industries
Women whose leadership would
mean the success OF American made
gowns, hats. etc. have agreed to unite
In promoting home arts and industries.
Foremost among these ladies is Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish Of New York, whose
brilliant entertainments have been a
feature Of Newport seasons.
Mrs. Fish expressed herself as in IA

should do all they can to encourage the
workers Of their own country, who on
account Of he war in Europe have so
great an opportunity for development
