The telephone girl sits still il
her chair and listens to voices
everywhere; she hears all the Cos
sip, she hears all the news, she
knows who is happy and who has
the blues; she knows all our sor'
rows, she knows all our joys, she
knows every girl who is chasing
the boys; she knows of oul
troubles, she knows of our strife
she knows every man who talk
mean to his wife; she know
every time we are out with "tht
boys" she hears the excuses eacl
fellow employs; she knows every
woman who has had a dark past
she knows every man who is in
clined to be ''fast;" in fact there's
a secret beneath each saucy cur
Of that quiet demure looking tele'
phone girl. If the telephone CIR
told all that she knows it would
turn half our friends into bitteres
foes; she could SOW a small WING
that would be a gale, engulf us il
trouble and land us in jail; sh'
could let go a story (Which gain
ing in force) would cause half GU
wives to sue for divorce; sh'
could get all our churches mixec
up in a fight and turn all our day
into sorrowing night; in fact sh'
could keep the whole town in
stew if she'd tell a tenth part o
the things that she knew. Oh
brother, now doesn't it make you
head whirl, when you think wha
you owe the telephone girl?-Er
change.
