| with the person calling you. If you
are calling for someone else and a
strange voice answers at the other
end of the line, do not ask who 1t is,
but inquire first If you have gotten the
right number. If so, then ask for the
person to whom you wish to speak.
Further than that, you have no right
to go, for sometimes 1t is rather en-
barrassing for the one who has vol
unteered to answer your call to give
his or her name. For instance, a
ysung bride has a little hesitancy
about giving her new entitlements,
or budding young lady knows that
In speaking to other than intimate
friends, She ought to put the "Miss"
before her name and, in the case of
a man, he knows the correct form is
to put the "Mr." in front OF his name,
yet many people have a hesitancy
about doing these things. OF course,
at times it is necessary to find out
who the stranger Il; at the other end

Laurens, we passed another OF our
county's public buildings. 1t was a
group of about 20 little cabins. This
constitutes the generous provision that
Laurens makes for its poor. If the
Lord Jesus had been along He would
have probably thought he made a mis-
take when he said "the poor yc have
always with you" or else that the pco-
pie Of Laurens county did not hear
Him".-Our Monthly.
