QUICK WORK BY LINEMEN
 NEEDED IN WINTER TIME
Winter the Busy Season for the Trouble Gangs That Make
 Emergency Repairs.

With the advent Of the winter sea son the trouble gangs of the telc phone and telegraph companies be gin to have frequent calls for thcii services. A trouble crew works un [ der the immediate direction of tn, : wire chief and is organized with ;
 view of making quick time. Not , only must such crew get to tho
 break quickly but il must also take 1 with il the material necessary tc patch up the line. and this weighs i a good deal.
 ] Suppose a big storm has hit the
 wires somewhere south of New York
 and has shut off the city from one of it's main lines Of communication : with Waashington and thc south. as in the case Of the big storm on in- auguration day in 1909 It iS up to the wire chief and his assistants, to locate the break before sending out
 one of the trouble gangs The break
 can't be located exactly but the wire
 chief may get within ten miles of
 it. and then the order comes for the
 trouble squad to take the first train
 to the nearest railroad station On the North river front the
 Western Union has pier on which are stored the emergency cables inn mcnse spools wound with rubber and lead cables. each containing dozen or more wires. There k a tug kept there waiting with steam up ready to take load of cable spools on word from the chief While the trou- ble squad is making tracks for the proper train this tug will be steam ing across the river with the cables. which are sent by express in the baggage car of the train that takes the rapair gang.
 It may he some little out of the way station at which the men and their cables are dumped. and per haps the storm is still on. It is up tO the emergency lincmcn to forage around for q team and then follow the wires to where the poles are down. IL is when a lot of poles are down that the cable comes in handy.
 It is unrolled and run right over the ground or perhaps tied in loops to the stumpS of the poles or trees In this way the break is quickly patched up. Later the regular re- pair gang comes along and restores the poles and their wires.
 There is always at least one line man who is an experienced operator. He may he called upon to spend many houpS m a pole in the biting cold clearing trouble that has devel- oped in one of those boxes where many wires come together. and all the time he is uncertain where he is going to get shelter when the iob is done
 IL is by use of the big spOols of flexible rubber cable that cOmmuni- cation is SO quickly restored these

HOW ID BE POPULAR
By Bertha knipe

A very well known society woman d lady liked by almost every one who knew her. and probably the most popular woman in the city Of New
 York in the early nineties said to an aspiring debutante who came to her for advice: There is but one way to be popular among hundreds, to meet people so that they will re- member you and wish to meet you again. and this is the way. Give tO each person as they are introduced to you, your entire attention. Just a few seconds. very likely. to each person. but your success depends on the use you make Of the seconds \ throng or people are passing you. the same form Of introduction is repeat ed over and over again. But the woman who would be popular gives to each person her entire attention. her cordial gratified. sympathetic self for a few seconds of time. No words spoken except the repetition of the persons name in a sweet low voice but scores of people go from that coming out reception. with the belief firmly established in their minds that this young lady is so- cial jewel. a girl of paramount beau ", young woman gifted with rare intuition
 Excuse this interruption. but I would like to remind you. gentle reader. that this advice applies to you and to me. as well as to the city dcbutante. l shall never forget the. uncomfortable feeling I exper- fenced at the door of the church par Tor in the little village in New Jer- sey when the lady delegated to wei come new corners and receive the strangers. grasped my hand listlessly. and dropped it again without once looking into my face.

 And mentioning blank smiles let me warn the girls and tyoung women against the too common theory that a smiling face is all that is needed in q social gathering. The smile over-dOne is abominabe The mean ingless smile is mawksh. Let your face sink into grave repose. but en- dcavOr to keep your interest aroused in those around you. and then your eyes will not be lacking in inteIli- gent beauty. and when you wish to bestow a special favor on some one you have a rare sweet smile to tighten and brighten every feSture
