Taking the telegrams from the hand of her husband she flaunted them in his face and derided him on his lack of business ability, claiming that were she the man she would meet with no failures. He answered her defy with a proposition that for a moment staggered her, but which she accepted in the same spirit as it was given. The proposition from her husband was that as she felt herself so capable a businessman that she be the man in the family and he would take her place, even to the exchange of wearing apparel. Dressed as the man she at once proceeded to put into action her methods of business. Her great difficulty in her man's garb was that when having an interview with a business man, that man seemed to not be able to concentrate his mind on business but wanted to take her out to lunch instead, with the result that she was obliged to order him out of the house, which action necessarily terminated the business deal with him. And so with every man she met in the course of her business, she either met with admiration, consternation or ridicule according to the temperament of the man. In the meantime the husband in his female attire was having as difficult a time with the house domestics, canvassers, peddlers, etc., and when his wife came to him meek and humiliated, and asked him to change back again, as she didn't want to be a business man, he threw his arms about her and agreed that the return was as acceptable to him as it was necessary for her.
