No Entrance There.
There is one door in the big State, War and Navy building which is sacred to the presence of one cabinet officer. He alone gets in and out of it; every other person connected with the United States navy or with the government of the United States has to go around.
The door leads into the office of Secretary of the Navy Meyer. He enters through it and leaves by it, but all other times it remains locked.
One day Mrs. Meyer visited the department. She was in a hurry, and as soon as she reached the corridor in front of her husband's office she headed for the sacred door.
Mrs. Meyer tried the door: she twisted the knob, and then knocked. She knocked again. The answer came from Private Secretary Taylor's door in the form of a big colored messenger. He spoke to Mrs. Meyer, and she followed him through the circuitous path which leads to her husband's desk.
Fifteen minutes later she came out—this time she used the private door of Secretary of the Navy Meyer.
