Experience has shown that the dust clinging to th# dresses of the telephone girls when they arrive at work finds Its way to the In struments and brings about a disturb ance In the telephonic service. To avoid this the girls will now be required to wearet uniform during office hours. On arrival they are to remove their street dresses and put on others provided by the government, made up of stuff simi lar to that used for dust cloaks. Ths material Is dark in color, and on the are yellow stripes, in imitation of the national colors. The girls are also compelled to take off their outdoor shoes and substitute for them a siipper tike shoe. ________ At a prizs contest for national rauslo and dances, held in the ’Norwegian town of 3kihn. the first prize for dancing was tuk-n by an old gentleman of SO. who went through the Hailing dance, , titg .„
