 The next question I wanted to ask I felt quite sure was rude. Still had to know the answer, so l said, as gently as I could: But why did you say women receive equal, pay with men if they don't work. ?''
 e>~ Wouldn't Take Less.
 What difference does it make how many or how few women work ?" He countered But in every kind of work women receive equal pay with men and when they begin to go into offices and into business, they will still re- ceive it. They wouldn't think of talk ing any less.''' t5
 But they might have to- [ said, my mind running back over all the stories I have known of teachers and other groups of women striving. and som etimes in vain, to be paid the same price for their labor as men.
 "But who could make them?" he asked. Certainly not the employer. | You see in our country no one would expect a woman to work for less money than a man. ',And"-laugh ingly-'if she did expect it she wouldn't do. it." .". a.
