Lack Of Charm Cause of Divorces,

Madame Sarah Bernhard, the grea,
French actress, in a signed article in
Sthe November issue Of Harper's BaZaI
attributes the numerous divorces that
have come into the courts of late years
to lack of charm in the women con-
cerned.
If | stood at the threshold Of life,'
says Nine. Bernhardt, asking of il
something with which to buy happi-
ness. ! should beg for charm. For if
m has charm, she will be loved. And
a must have love to be happy
Beauty does not matter. If a woman
has charm she can secure whatever
she wants-love, success, power"
But the Divine Sarah also says that
this invaluable quality can be cult
waited. and her prescription in Harper's
Bazaar reveals the secret.

Telephone Girls Hear
Expert Lecture on Efficiency

In pursuance with its policy of striv-
ing for greater efficiency, the Cumber-
land Valley Telephone Company has
engaged w. H. Way, an expert of the
Eastern Traffic Association, to lecture
to the long distance operators each
day for the remainder of the week.
The first talk was given this morn
ing to a room full of pretty girl op-
orators. Mr.. Way illustrated the talks
with miniature switchboards to show
the actual operations necessary for
good service. The operators who come
from fifteen towns will be guests of
the company while in this city.
- The talks in Harrisburg are part
of Statewide movement for stand
ardiZation of operation. The rules are
issued by the United States Indepen-
dent Telephone Association and are
being taught over the State and ma
ton. 1t is believed that by having
every movement and operation work
don a standard and universal scale
the efficiency will be even greater than
that previously attained.
The igrls are not only shown prop
er methods and exceptionally courte-
Gus replies to be used, but are given
practice before the entire body to DEM
onstrate their previous ability. They
are encouraged to take notes on the
lectures to supplement the textbooks
that are used.
