comes down to human service in the end,
and all of its products and problems wind
up with people. The wOman's under
standing and liking of people will give
her many a clue to her husbands bust
ness affairs, and enable her to share and
help.
She may be able to help just by look
ing at situation through a woman's
eyes.
A typewriter salesman found difficulty
in developing territory for new writing
machine, because each sale had to be
made twice. First he would go to
the business man, demonstrate the tech
nical points, and pave the way for a
sale But then he had to sell the machine
to the girls who were to operate it; and
here he got along badly. The Office man
could be won by mechanical demonstra-
ton; but not the girls. They disliked
learning a new machine, preferred the
ones they were used to. and met his argu-
ments with woman's because.
He talked this over with his wife.
She looked at his serious, logical face,
remembered how it had been hard for
him to drop reason even when he was
making love to her, and rumpled his hair.
"You mustn't reason with women,

Is it worth while for business man
to have wife?
That depends largely on the wife.
If she can be a good pal, entering into
his business interests, it will be very
much worth while. If she will not take the
trouble to follow him in these matters, per-
haps business will eventually become his
first wife and she will take second place.
In recent book on the philosophy of
life, human interests are divided into four
things Work, Play, Love, Worship.
Work is masculine-the mans big in
terest. Many men get through life
pretty much on work alone. Love and
play are more feminine. and give the
woman two interests by which to hold a
man. If she can keep him absorbed in
one or both. work may not be so formid
able competitor. But it will be better
for her, and for her husband too, it she
can stand squarely on work and share
that too.
Seeing Through His Wife's Eyes
GENERALLY speaking, women have
dread of business. 1t seems so tech
meal, dry, incomprehcnsible.
But actually it is not so. For business

this explanation, just try little praise
and encouragement. Compliment them
on their cleverness, assure them they can
learn anything if they set themselves to
it, get them on your side of the sale, and

That advice, faithfully followed, was
better than sales manual. In a year
his machine was strongly established, and

A New York merchandise man wanted
to get into business for himself, and was
enthusiastic over partnership proposal
made to him by an importer. They met
to discuss details over dinner. The
merchandise mans wife went along.
While her husband was intent on the
project she weighed the man. and, when
they were alone, advised against having
anything to do with him. There was
some prejudice in her decision because
of the importers manner toward her.

Apparently the cells and dungeon

The architect found the cells out

City Hall. and at the rear Of the
building under part Of the old police
station. The cells have heavy oaken
doors with a small opening in them
to furnish the only ventilation. There
was no means Of lighting the cells.
There are about ten Of these under

the old City Hall, the doors being
along the eastern building line Of the

Beneath the basement the architect
also found a sub-cellar. the entrance

day, the local health authorities are
