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 ahd 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 was quite remarkable bow 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 real Old Santa would have
them have. They were all anxious to
know just how much money was re
ceived. and declared th^t because
there was a serious purpose behind
the affair they had enjoyed it much
more.

YOUNG WOMEN OF THIS TYPE ARE
IiELL OPERATORS
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 modem
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.

and Telegraph Company,
