Wrieht wired the President T HAVE NEVER known a man to be more wholeheartedly disliked than Henry Spafford. The reason for it is his braggartly qualities, his oversearing sense of importance. We tolerate him because we like his wife, Madge, but even so our toleration is a chore. The other night I was over to the Spaffords and sat through an hour of Henrys bragging. It seems that the big boss in New York Henry is employed by the Jason Reid Steamship Company called up the Philadelphia office where Henry works and Henry answered the phone. "Jay's a great guy, Henry told me, referring to the incident. "Hes asked me to run up to New York to see him a couple of times. I must remember to do that. "Whos Jay? I asked. "Jay? Why, Jason Reid, who owns the line, of course." "Oh." I said. "The way to get along in any business, Henry went on, Is to let the boss know right off he can depend on you. Thats the way I am with Jay. I left the Spafford home an hour later, furious that I had stayed so long, pitying Madge and disliking Henry with a renewed sense of disgust.

Bob says that he might be able to do something for Henry on our Well, I guess, answer. I grinned, thats the And It was. Henry and Madge were over three days later. "I understand youve got a new job? I remarked to Henry. "Yes, he said with a bored look on his face. "Bob Taylor called up as soon as he heard that I was free, and asked if Id consider a position with him. Well, you know when a man offers you more money I glanced at Betty. There was a faint smile on her face. I suppose she was amused. I hope so.
