But the licet answer of them ail may be summed up in two words: Absolute tnitotwnrthlneas. Mine Harrison can keep a secret.

If she sees lit to attend to any matter herself, it ts Just so much gain in time and labor for Mr. Rogers. Heaus of deimrtments must submit their propositions to her before they can reach Mr. Rogers.

If a dosen cards are before her at once she knows whom to receive end whom to dismiss. A few words suffice for each. Keen and Incisive in speech, no one mistakes what she means. Those who leave her presence instantly realise that ahe is master of the situation. There to no appeal- to Mr. Rogera over her head. 8he writes most of Mr. Rogers fetters.
