BY ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER.

While the various fields of work entered by the young woman of today is subject of ceaseless comment, and one constantly hears of the successful careers of num- bers of young women who, as nurses on battle fields or in the great hospitals of the country, are proving the peculiar fit ness of women for this work, and while of other occupations in which women are em- ployed one sometimes hears criticism that they are entirely out of their sphere, there is one occupation that is recognized the world over as peculiarly suited to wo- men and which has never been filled by men. The telephone companies throughout the country employ only women as Npera- tors The managers have long recognized that this position cannot be satisfactorily filled except by women, and in no line of work do women give greater satisfaction than in the telephone exchanges.
 While the young army nurse experiences the exciting scenes of battle and is the heroine of war romances she is naturally a picturesque subject for the newspaper writer, and this is true of almost every vocation In which the young woman of to- day is distinguishing herself. The mo- ment that she enters upon any career she is considered the most interesting theme upon which one can write, and the news papers and magazines of the country are continually being filled with the stories of the successful young woman in both the business and professional world.
 There is, on the other hand, the young woman whose work seems to be taken as

to know the world by personal contact. But in the telephone exchanges the wo- men employed there are recluses. They are from one point of view, indefinite, vague intangible A network Of under ground wires separates them from the out side world. In instantaneous touch with the world at the common center of the country connecting by movement of her hands cities thousands of miles apart, and becoming, as it were, the connecting link between millions of persons, quickening the traffic of the country, reducing time and distance to a minimum by the rapidity which she has acquired, the telephone girl occupies probably the most important po- sition in the affairs of the world today. And yet she has not been discussed to any great extent in the magazines and newspapers. She has, however, been dram atzed. As unknown as she is, she could not prevent the onslaught of the play wrights.
 'I would like to see the young women in the telephone exchange" 1 said the other day in answer to a pair of interrogating eyes as I passed into the office of the Southern Bell Telephone Company.
 No one is allowed to see them I was told, and there were never any lat home" days in the telephone exchange.
 I insisted that I be allowed a glimpse talked to them every day and I could see no reason why I should not be permitted to see them. It is so unsatisfactory to talk year after year without seeing the clever young woman who asks you, What number?' It was very tantaiizing to be told that the rules were iron-clad and to hear vaguely a soft chatter of womens voices It was not a chatter, to be strictly accurate but suspicion of well-bred whispers that reached me from the apart

ments above.
 Sitting at lunch with these young women later on I felt that I had penetrated into the underground nework of a great city, and that each throbbing wire con meeting link with the world. If there was a missing link, the telephone girl was there to supply it. Indeed, she appeared to be connecting the world and carrying on its affairs by methods peculiarly her own.
 There are eighteen young women en- ployed as operators by the Southern Bell Telephone Company here. Their work is di- rected by woman who is the chief op- erator. In other words. she Is Central" |" It is to her that all complaints are com made she registers it's nature in a daily record. The hundreds of entries in this record made me study, not so much the nature of the complaints but rather the strong, sweet face of the young woman to the telephone any moment in the day and be told by an impatient man or woman that the telephone is not working and who demands somewhat unclvilly that precious little time must be lost in looking into the matter, is an occasion that is the strongest test of qualities to be desired in the role of Central" and where man would not hesitate to answer in tones equally impatient, woman replies in her gentle voice that the matter will be promptly looked into If "Central' was a man, I was told, all the telephone com panies in the country would experience perceptible falling off in patronage, for

a matter of course, but who has been iden-
 tified with her vocation long before more recent opportunities for becoming self-sup- porting were presented to young women
 who, from either inclination or necessity, take up line of work. It is notewor- thy fact that in a vocation recognized as belonging exclusively to woman that very little is known of these women, who yet are in close touch with the world. That their positions are unique Is emphasized by the fact that the world talks to them every day, but knows nothing of their lives and would not recognize them on the streets In every other work in which women are engaged the outside world IS given the opportunity of knowing some- thing of them, while they, in turn, come

BISHOP P4RET ON DIVORCE

Upon this subject Right Rev. VIII
liam Paret, Bishop of the Diocese of
Maryland, said:
''As to my own views, l do not know
that 1 can give them better than by
quoting from the action of the Gener-
al Conference, held in Lambeth,
London, in 1888. l was a member of
the Committee on divorce at that
conference, and as such had the
privilege of drawing up this report
and resolution. They express my
own views and the views of very
large part of the authorities and
members of the Church at the present
time. The substance of the report
follows:
"'They (the committee) therefore
consider it important to declare mas
much as our Lords word expressly
forbid divorce, except in case.of forni
cation or adultery, the Christian
Church cannot recognize divorce in
any other than the excepted case or
give any sanction to the marriage OF
any person who has been divorced
contrary to this law, during the life of
the other party.
"'They would add that under no
circumstances ought the guilty party
in case of divorce for fornication or
adultery, to be regarded during the
lifetime of the innocent party as a fit
recipient of the blessing of the church
on marriage.
They recognize the fact that there
has always has been a difference of
opinion in the church on the question
whether our Lord meant to forbid
marriage to the innocent party in
divorce for adultery, and they recon-
mend the clergy should not be given
instructions to refuse the sacrament
or other privileges of the church to
those who under civil sanction are
thus married.
but whereas doubt has been en-
tertained whether our Lord would
permit such marriage to the innocent
party, the committee is unwilling to
suggest any precise Instructions in
this matter, and recommends that,
where the laws of the land will permit
the determination be left to the judg-
of the bishop of the diocese whether
the clergy would be justified in re-
Training from pronouncing the bless
ing of the church on such unions.'"
