Mrs. Lora Delane Porter, that great woman, was condescending to argue with Herbert Nixon, a mere menial. The points under discussion were three:— (a) Why had Herbert been absent from duty between the hours of 3 p.m. and midnight on the previous day? (b) Why had he returned singing? (c) Why had he divested himself of his upper garments and stood for twenty minutes before the front door, daring the Kaiser to come out and have his head knocked off? Those were the main counts in Mrs. Porter’s indictment, and she urged them with the skill of one who for many years had been in the forefront of America’s Feminist movement. A trained orator and logician, she made mincemeat of Mr. Nixon.
