m an Of the telephone as hello girl
She does not say "hello," even If the sub
scr iber does persist in using the word.
The telephone girl says Number p II
she is unable to "raise" the party wish
ing she says soitly-almostc cooling, cline
busy" She also says "Waiting?' when
she knows very well that you are. The
new expressions are official and e.nanate
from the head offices of the telephone
companies. TO use tho word "hello" in
addressing a subscriber is deemed too
slangy. 1t is limited that in the course OF
time the subscribers will also reform
certain set speeches which they use.
For instance, it is understood that they
will not say "Who is this? or in identity
ing themselves say "this u.s." etc.-Ex.
