w IN THE WOMAN’S WORLD THE TELEPHONE GIRL. The telephone girl sits still in het chair And listens to voices from every where. She hears all the gossip, she hears all V- the news. eAe knows who is happy and who has the blues; She knows all onr sorrows, she knows all our joys, She knows every girl who is chasing the boys. She knows of our troubles, she knows of our strife. She knows every man who talks mean C to his wife. J?he knows every time you are out “with the boys,’’ j she hears the excuses each fellow t employs. ( She knows every woman who hus a dark past, 3he knows every man who's inclined j to be fast. 1 « f the telephone girl told half that she knows j t would turn our friends into bitter ( est foes. i She could sow r a small wind that would soon be a gale. Engulf us in trouble and land us in jail. She could let go a story which, gain ing in force. Would cause half your wives to sue for divorce. She could get all our churches mixed up in a fight, And turn our into sorrowing nights. In fact, she could keep the whole town in a stew If she’d tell a tenth part of the things she knew. Say, but doesn’t it make your head whirl When you think w'hat you owe to the Telephone Girl ? Social Calendar T uesday— Harp recital at St. James auditori um at eight-thirty o’clock.
