Popular with Young Men.
Il is needless to say that the tele-
phone is a great institution, sa"s the
Utica Press. II has long been an alb.
solute essential in every place of bust
ness. Just now there is great in
crease in the number OF phones in pri-
vate houses. Il is possible to talk
with pretty much everybody at his or
her home. The companies are evi-
IDENTIFY endeavoring to boom that
branch of their business, because they
are advertising extensively. The
other day st. Louis paper had big
display ad at the top of which was a
picture Of an attractive young lady
telephoning and represented as say
ing: rs that you, Harry" The text
beneath II includes this statement:
ut is a well-known fact that the girl
who has a telephone is the girl who
has the most friends and consequently
has the best time"
This appeal to the young people is
adroit and doubtless will serve to
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who have
manageable daughters will do well
to consider this ingenious continuance
and modern aid to matrimony. II is
something of bother for young
man to call or even to write note
asking the young lady to go to the the
alter. go for a walk or drive or a ride
to the park, but If he can transmit the
message by telephone 1t is an easy
way Of making an appointment.
Many delicious message is tele
phoned these days and there is reason
to believe the statement made by the
St. Louis company. 1t applies, Of
course, with equal force in every
American city. The young ladies for
whom life of single blessedness has
no charms are not exactly buying
lottery when they hire a phone. They
can get much pleasure and comfort
out Of It as they go along. for It is a
constant contributor to convenience.
II is worth the price, with the enhanc-
ed matrimonial possibility thrown in
as an extra inducement.
