 And certainly a society women is in no way handicapped The greater the social accomplishment, the greater the business accomplishment: if you can serve tea beautifully il is pretty likely that you can transact business beautifully.
 "The real estate business is, in a way. like all big things-the bigger the proposition, such as the handling of an enormous office building, the simpIier the more dignified and plea sant the handling. To rent three rooms and bath, that is the difficult thing-there you contend with the ner- vous housewife, who worries about the electric lights. and the steam heat, and whereas in the bigger business, all you i do is to get the two principals to- gether-land and office holder" Connected with Miss Force in her 1 real estate office are Miss l..

The high cost OF seat checks has
given the dramatic critic the best
job on the paper. A dozen years
ago, when George NJ. COhan con-
trolled forty-eight stars and thlr-
teen stripes, seats to a nit went on
sale four weeks in advance to the
public. To-day, any show with r.
scene in the bOudOir goes on sale 10
the scalper four bucks in advance.
In the show business now the adj
vance man is the guy that thinks
up the scale OF prices.

Usually l believe in some sort of
confinement, either a prison or, better
still, a home, for mental detectives and
for the old offender" continued Mrs.
Field, 'but II is always well to investi-
gate into the motive Of the petty Of
fender. For instance, l remember the
case OF an old offender who had been
in the courts many times for petty
thieving. The last time had his case
found out that he had sold some
furniture which had only been Inc
trusted to him and did not belong to
him. / found out that he had used
the money for his family and not for
his own personal benefit, therefore I
obtained permission to let him off
upon an easy sentence. His wire
came to me and fairly kissed the hem
OF my skirts The man took heart
and for five years his life has been
unstained. Therefore, you see the
criminal may be judged sometimes by
the motive of his crime or misde-
meanor."
Mrs. Field has many such cases TO
relate and her constant thought and
summing uR of each case make one
realize why she was elected President
of the Criminal Bar Association.
