Tabloid Glimpses of City Life

“I don’t like that man,” said the young stenographer.  “I was talking to him the other night at Mary’s party and I said to something about getting up early every morning and going down town.   He raised his eyebrows, sort of surprised and interested and asked me: ‘oh, do you work?’  Well, you can believe I shut him up.  ‘I go to business,’ I told him.  The very idea—him trying to make me out a working girl.”
