RULES FOR USE
OF TELEPHONE
A Little Lesson on the
Etiquette.
pOuTENESS IS IMPERATIVE
Errors You Should Not
Commit.
Being Polite When ConvcrsIng Over
the Telephone Is just as Imperative
as Though You Were Face to Face
With Your Friend.

Telephones have so important a
place in the social life of today that
there is quite as much etiquette in
regard to them as there Is to other
matters.
Take the word itself, for instance.
We began by calling IL telephone"
as a matter of course, and always
in speaking of it referred to 1t as
"telephoning."
But this soon became corrupted
into "phone" and "phoning" which
pleasing the ears of many, were WIDE
ly adopted, until among certain
classes they are firmly established as
the accepted parlance when referring
to, or to the use of, the most indis-
pensable invention of the age.
But the language of the polite
world does not admit of abbreviations
of any sort.
In good society any form of sSpv-
enliness is abhorrent, and to speak
In a slipshod way, indicates an un-
tidlness of speech as dlstasteful and
as little to be tolerated as untidiness
of person or of dress.
And, consequently, we'll bred peo-
pie from one end of the country to
the other say telephone" and look
askance at the persons who shortens
II.
When you are calling up your
friends, to greet them with "Hello!"
is as bad form as 1t is to say "Phone"
or "phoning." Hello" belongs
strictly to the business world, and
has no place in the social. either at
the telephone or at any other place.
You should say Good morning
by way of greeting at the telephone
just as you would at home or at
your friends house, or the street, or
wherever you encounter one another.
If another member of the family
than the one to whom you especially
wish to talk answers the telephone
do not be so discourteous as to ig-
more her by asking at once for the
other, but exchange a few words
with her first and then let her know
that you wish to talk with another.
1t is not etiquette for girls to tele-
phone to men at their places of busi-
ness or at their clubs, nor should
they call them up at their homes un-
less for particular reason.
So much inviting of an uncere-
monious character is done by means
of the telephone nowadays that 1t Il
quite proper for girls to take thi.
method Of reaching young men, al
ways provided they do not try to
get them at their places of business
There is a great convenience II
giving invitations over the telephone
for 1t means that they are accepted
or declined at the moment and one
can plan accordingly.
But the verbal invitations ex-
tended must be followed by note
that is, when the invitation Is ac.
cepted. OF course, II II Is declined
the matter is ended But when you
ask your friend to anything over the
telephone and he or she assents the
correct thing is to write a note a
once corroborating the matter.
The note should be brief and to th'
point of one sentence covering tn,
matter. and it's object is. as no doubt

of mistake the day and time in the
others mind.
SO many errors of time and place
have occurred through the giving
and accepting of telephone invita-
tions, to the utter confusion of host
ess and guest, that fertile Madame
Grundy, ever alert to keep we'll oiled
the wheels of social life, has invented
this manner of meeting the situation
so now 1t Is obligatory that you fol-
low your telephone invitation by a
note.
1t is not etiquette for the persons
called to the telephone to end the
conversation.
If friend calls you you must re-
main until she says good by.
1t Is not proper for you to say moro
than you would II she were making
call in your house.
Some people never seem to know
how to break off telephone con-
versation, and they are just the
same people who never seem to
know how to go, even after they get
started from room.
But, being we'll hammered, you
would never think of pushing them
out, and neither can you push them
off the telephone. which is precisely
what you would do If you said good
by first.
When you call them up, that Is
another matter. The tables are
turned. the initiative lies with you, and
you end the conversation as 1t pleas
! es you.--Philadelphia Times.

range for 1t. 1t was also arranged
to appoint a committee to look to
the advisabllity of closing on

estingly along the line of organlza-
ton, and II. s. Martin followed with

PUGILIsTIC PRISONERS BROUGHT IN
Constable Graham of Calais Has Trouble
With Hilarious Townsn an

Constable John Graham, of Calais,
brought two prisoners to the county Jail
yesterday afternoon lodging them with
Sheriff Frank H. Tracy on a charge of
intoxication and breach of the peace.
One of the prisoners caused the constable
trouble in coming over so that the officer
was compelled to call a neighbor to assist
in driving one of the teams.
1t appears that Charles Brown and
Lewis Gould had formed plans to go on a
fishing trip yesterday and had made all
the arrangements which included some
thing to keep them warm while they were
waiting for members of the finny tribe to
meet them half way They started out
bright and early yesterday morning in
Gould's team for the scene of their day
outing but when they reached it were
unable to do much in the fishing line as
they had come to a disagreement upon a
topic of State politics and were arguing it
out in front of Flo Browns place in
Calais. No agreement could be reached
so it was left to arbitration with the
result that Gould suffered from black eye
and Brown started in to rejoice rather
vociferiously when Flo Grown, the
owner of the farm objected and tele-
phoned for Constable Graham. When
the Constable arrived he found Gould
asleep in a ditch and Charles Brown
engaged in a pugilistic engagement with
Flo Brown for telephoning for the police.
1t took some time before this last contest
could be stopped and then Brown, the
SC apper, wanted to arrange for bout
with Constable Graham, Both Gould
and Charles Brown were arrested but not
before the latter had put up stiff fight fol
his liberty, however, which neccssitated
the calling in of neighbor to take in
Gould while the constable attended to the
personal wants Of the individual with the
pugilistic tendencies They will botl
appear in the city court this morning
before Judge Harvey on 2 charge Of mtox
! ication.
