with one OF his nice, slow smiles.
"No-I understand you're calcp-

some calculating too. Neal will be
in quarantine for ten days, I'm

Father Andrew laid down the
worn brown alligator slippers he

II is difficult to offer any one
book as a magic cureall for busi-
ness ailments. Many women find ne
stimulation in some Of the technical
books affecting their own work.
I know women in office positions
who never read a book or magazins
