brflliance. Now, viii her"
Margery was willing to admit that
his wonderful disposition, his gentle
ness. his almost feminine tact were
hardly the best recommendations a
man could have for an active business
life, and yet she knew that somewhere
there must be place where Just such
men were needed. Therefore, Margery
being In business herself and In touch
more or less with various phases of
business affairs, decided to find such
an opening for Jerry.
Margery knew that Jerry was spend
Ing his days trying to find a position,
and she realized how difficult II was
for him, with his apparently limited
ability, to locate a place that would
pay a living wage and give promise
for the future. Also, she knew that
he was growing sensitive about the sit
uatiOn.
Her own employer was a man OF
splendid business dexterity, had made
success early In life by his own
achievement, but his quick temper, his
impotence. his lack OF tolerance with
any sort of inefiiciency made him at
times difficult TO understand.
During the war the telephone sery-
Ice fell below par. On more than one
occasion Margery hsd to use all Of her
tact to keep her employer from losing
his temper with the slowness of the
operators In getting numbers, both In
and out of the city for him. He was
inclined on the spur of the moment to
blame a corporation unrestrainedIy
without considering the exigencIes of
the occasion.
One day he was unable to obtain
Ily sort Of connection to one of his
h'anch Offices out of town and he be-

and OF extrer1e tact In handling dis

Margery was watching for her en-
ployer TO return, for he had been very
ross when he left. She knew him

;lLoNDoN. July 24.-An ambitious
plan for the extension Of American
trade abroad has been worked out

!. Points Out Trouble of Past.
:'rhe trouble with the American
export trade in the past" said Mr..
Pbrter just before sailing, has been

and wishes of the foreign houses.
We have shown an inclination to
dump on them any surplus products

has been to investigate the require

formation can be obtained without
even a cable being sent to America.
That will enable buyer to come to

that will be needed is one dispatch to
America to start the shipment over

Mr.. Porter is enthusiastic over the

He does not advocate temporary con-
tracts such as those made during the
war, but his idea is to foster substan-
tial and steady trade relations with
the great dealers who have resident
agents here. His work at this end
has been satisfactory and his visit to
Anerica is for the purpose of ex-
planning to the manufacturers there
who are ready to go ahead with the
scheme under the arrangements
which he has made. He showed
stpres of letters from big consumers
assuring him of their intention to
take advantage Of the facilities which
Would be thus offered them.
The shocking decreases in the out
put of all kinds Of commodities in
England has made 1t imperative for
many buyers to go elsewhere to fill
their requirements. This opens to
America doors of hitherto untouched
markets.
