Drops Dead as He Wins Whisky Bet Many an empty stocking will be filled by the large attendance at The Georgian's Tango Tea at the Pied mont Hotel Monday afternoon. At lanta’s society women and men gath ered in the ballroom on the ninth floor until the affair had the appear ance of an eventful afternoon at the Piedmont Driving Club. Then when the dancing was well begun a count ing of the receipts was made. There was $167 in all. The or chestra was paid $17 and there were a few other expenses, leaving $141 for Old Santa to buy good things with which to fill the stockings of the poor children on Christmas morning. The Tango Tea was such a success that the management of the Pied mont is considering giving regular dances in its own behalf. At 4:30 o’clock, as the shopping period of the day was about over, the women be gan to come in. Society editors have had much to say of how the socially elite have become fascinated by the new dances and how they have been devoting evenings to lessons. The Tango Tea demonstrated very clever ly that there are many finished danc ers of the tango, the turkey trot and the hesitation waltz. Couple in Dance Duet. Once when the orchestra started a selection in tango time and the danc ers were a little slow starting. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. V. Rainwater did some beautiful figures alone in the center of the floor, and they did them so well that the whole party encored for more. But they refused to dance alone again. The party was wholly informal, though marked by the presence of many of the most beautiful women of whom Atlanta boasts so much. It was a happy gathering of friends and acquaintances, where those who did not wish to dance, and many who did, took tea in an adjoining room and talked of The Georgian’s Empty Stocking Fund and other things in which they were interested. It w r as quite remarkable how much the company in so light-hearted a mood was interested in the Empty Stocking Fund and the plans for giv ing Atlanta's poor that kind of Christ mas the rear Old Santa would have them have. They were all anxious to know just how much money was re ceived. and declared that because there was a serious purpose behind the affair they had enjoyed it much more. Society Folk Present. Among those present were General and Mrs Robert KL Evans, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Speer, Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Cooney, Mr. and Mrs. Ed win Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. James T. Hornsby Evans, Dr. Williams.

YOUNG WOMEN OF THIS TYPE BELL OPERATORS ARE N ot every girl can become a Bell telephone operator. Each applicant must possess a pleasant, well-modulated voice, her eyesight and hearing must be good, and she must be even tempered and of a patient disposition. We are as careful in selecting operators as we are in training them. They must live at home with their parents or guardians and must furnish satisfactory references. Applicants are given several weeks’ training in the theo ries and practices of telephone operating. They are then given actual experience at a dummy switchboard not connec ted with any subscriber. The training of operators therefore does not interfere with the service. The importance of giving prompt and efficient service and of treating the public with courtesy and consideration are features which we insist upon and impress upon operators constantly from the moment the application is accepted. « The public today demands personal attention. Human intelligence is essential to render proper service to a modern community. A scream, a cry for help in the ear of a Bell telephone operator, sets in motion a vast, resourceful organ ization which brings quick relief. In times of emergency the Bell operator never fails to meet the situation in an admirable manner. She is the hero of modern business life. She is a human being of quick intelligence, trained to meet the requirements of an advanced age, and science has not yet been able to devise any invention that can successfully and satisfactorily fill her place. Such are the young women who respond “Number, please” to your calls, making some human errors, but stand ing ready at all times to give you the intelligent personal at tention so essential to efficient telephone service.
