Writes Morse on the DoorbeIl

The other afternoon a caller in a
Harlem apartment house was sur
prised to hear the doorbell ring long
and internationally, says the New
York Press. She was equally sur
prised when her hostess, instead of
complaining about the noise, went to
the door-opener and pushed the button
for a couple of minutes. Then the
ringing began again, with second re-
Spouse from the button, and the hos
tess quietly sat down to chat with her
friend.
''It was only Harry" she explained
'He wanted to know what l wanted
brought in for dinner, and l said a
steak He said he would rather have
chops, and 1 said go ahead and get
them"
Then the visitor remembered that
Harry had married his wife when she
was an operator in the same telegraph
office in which he was employed, and
understood that. the intermittent ring
ing was really Morse code, employed
to save the husband climb of four
flights of stairs
