Naturally I want to be quite as good as a man would be under the same conditions, but I noticed that when I left the offiec after six o'clock there wasn't a male stenog- vapher at his desk. This morning| when T arrived at the office T also| found Mr. Ward had not returned to sign the letters and mail them, al- though he said he was stayving down town for that very purpose and he had impressed upon me the impor- tance of their going out on the eve- ning mail. When I arrived home it help matters any to find that Sam was already there but, finstead of starting anything for dinner, 1 found him looking decidedly surly because 1 was late.
