MISS RUSSELL WITH
 PHONE co. "A YEARS
New Chief Operator at Local Exchange Has Won Her Way Up
 From the Ranks.

Telephone users in the New Brit ain exchange will be greatly inter- ested to learn of the appointment of Miss Annie Russell formerly in charge of the Meriden exchange, to the position of chief operator in New Britain. Miss Russell has already taken up her duties at the local office. Miss Russell entered the employ of the Southern New England Telephone company, as an operator in the Merl- den office, on May 10, 1892, and has been With the company continuously since that time. This gives her a rec ord TOT continuous service that is one or the longest in the operating depart ment or the telephone company.
 Alter serving eleven years as To- cal operator in the Meriden office, Miss FluSSell was promoted to toll line and long distance work in the same ex- chanse, and in 1906 assumed the du- ties ot supervisor For the past three years she has further demonstrated her efficiency in the capacity of chief operator in Meriden.
 Miss Russells record with the Southern New England is an excep- tiOnally brilliant one, her association with the work having established her in the top rank of the operating de- partment. Her fair manner in deal ing with the members of the operat- ing force has won the loyalty and en- thusastic cooperation of all who have served under her. At the same time, the appreciation of the value of dis cipline and a thorough knowledge of the business have combined to give her those characteristics absolutely essential to the person who is to make a success of this difficult side of the teleph one business. TwentyfOur years experience has also given Miss Russell an appreciation of the sub scribers' side of the telephone Ser- vice that is invaluable.
 w. A. Semple, exchange manager, in speaking of Miss Russell's appoint ment said, We are extremely grati- fled in having been able to secure so experienced and efficient chief oper- ator as Miss Russell and we are con- f1dent that her success in Meriden will be duplicated in our larger exchange here in New Britain"

 Poor Molly, of course she will, but of course she cant realize it now! She isn't old enough to know yet how time sOftens and changes the aspect of many things.
 She May Find it Wasn't Mistake
 At All.
 There may come 8 day when she will realize that the taking of the less attractive apartment wasn't a mis- take at all. Her present location may bring her friendships that may mean infinitely more than the possession of a few extra comforts
 Or, even if she still regards it as a mistake there will be none of that poignant regret she now feels. She will see whatever good came of her ch oice, she will know that her mis- take taught her to be less hasty in her decisions, and she will realize that it was all part of the pattern of her life.
