THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
The telephone girl sits still m her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. Sho hears all the gossip, she hears all the news, she knows who is happy and who has' the blues; she knows all our sorrows, sho knows all our jovs. she knows every girl who is chasing'the boys ; sho knows of pur troubles, sho knows of our strife; sho knows every man who. talks mean to his wife ; she knows every time wo arc out with “the boys ; she hears the excuses each fellows employs; she knows every woman who has a dark past; she knows every man who’s inclined to be “fast” in fact, there’s a secret ’neath each saucy curl of that quiet demure-looking telephone girl. If the telephone girl told all that she knows it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes; sho could BOW a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf ns in trouble and land us in jail;, sho could let go a story which, gaining in force, would cause half our wives to sue for divorce; she could get all our churches mixed up’m a fight, and turn all our days into sorrowing night: in fact, she could keep the whole town in a stew, if she’d tell a tenth part of the things that she know. Oh, brother, now dosen’i it make your head whirl when you think what you owe to the telephone girl?
