etiquette at
the telephone

When you take off your receiver re-
member that there is a human being
who answers to the call of Central,
and she never fails to respond more
quickly to a Please" She also learns
to know your voice If you have a pri-
vate phone, and an occasional Good
morning" is appreciated in her rou-
tine work more than you can imagine.
On the other hand do not try TO
burden this same Central" with too
many of your personal secrets. No
matter how busy she may be there is
always chance of her catching Some
OF your conversation, and if you value
your intimate affairs you will reserve
them for the mail or face to face con-
fab
Having obtained the party called,
make sure TO whom you are speaking,
Never trust your ears when it comes
to sounds over the phone In nine
cases out of ten you can be mistaken
in voices which vibrate over a long or
short distance wire, so it will pay YOU
to always repeat the nun Der asked for
when you hear the ansGering Hello"
If you have ever been called unex-
pectedly or by some party who was
farthest from your thoughts. you will
kno" now perfectly at sea a person
feels at such a time. Hence it is man
ifestly unfair to .announce who you
are and then expect the person at the
other end of the wire to carry on the
conversation.
If YOU are giving an invitation over
the phone make 1t i'm such a way that
he invited one will not be obliged TO
abruptly refuse or accept The story
Of the girl who asked a man to dh-
nor is a very apt illustration of the em-
barrassment which may result from an
insistent invitation over a wire. He
refused for Monday night then for
Tuesday. and then for Wednesday.
Finally, when the girl asked him for
Thursdays dinner, he replied impa-
tiently: Wen, III come Monday"

YOU AND I.

If you and Just you and l.
Should laugh instead OF worry;
If we should grow--just you and T.
Kinder and sweeter hearted,
Perhaps in some near bye and bye
A good time might get started;
Then what a happy world 'twould be
Just you and me--for you and me-
Speak gently, it's a little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep well;
The good. the JOY that It may bring

SPECULATION AND INSURANCE.


Control Of financial institutions was
the first step into Wall Street specu-
lation; alliances with the great bank
ing houses and various powerful cor
porations were the second. It was
proper for the companies to cal bank
ers and other men of affairs into their
directories. where they could act In
a general advisory capacity; but it
was highly improper for such direct
ors to make the companies generally
useful to themselves in the corpor-
ate or private enterprises with which
they were connected. Especially UNI
fortunate was it for some of these
gentlemen to serve on important COM
mittees that had to deal with invest
ments and other matters in which
they were personally interested. Cor
poration ethics are still In rudimen-
tary stage of development in the
United States, and the duties and
responsibilities Of directors are but
dmly apprehended; yet we already
had enough dearly-bought experience
to warn US of the dangers of the sit
