THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who says when the telephone girl
misunderstands her and she has to
repeat the number so she will get it
correct, she always holds the receiver
away from her ear while she counts
ten. For by that time the girl will
be thru saying, Il beg your pardon" in
that way that makes one perfectly
furious. 1t is case where it is
spoken with the lips only and you can
almost see the cards written in large
letters telling the telephone girls they
must be peoples pardons under those
circumstances or be fired. This wo-
man is one who does not like to be
made to feel like a worm of the dust.
