What was planned to be a little
joke at the New England Telephone
Office Monday turned out to be some
thing of a more substantial nature.
LOperator Hazel B. Carl, remembering
that it was the birthday anniversary
of her fellow operator, Miss Gladys
IStewart, decided to play little
lprank for the benefit of Miss Stewart.
Freddie Pugh and Doctor Poulin, who
happened GU to be in the telephone
Ioffice at the time. were called into
lservice and in few moments things
Ebegan to look as though Miss Stewart
twould certainly be the object of a
little joke. The Office was decorated
with crepe paper; chairs. tables
lights and in fact everything was
Hastily draped. About this time Rob-
ert Smith appeared upon the scene
and finding out what was up, he de-
lcided to have his share in the opera
, ton. He disappeared for a few mo-
|, iments but soon returned with cake
(which the illustrious quartet pro-
ceeded to decorate with candles to the
number of (censored). BY the time
Miss Stewart arrived on the scene to
, take up her duties, everything was
, ready. and just before she entered the
!, candles were lighted and the room
vacated. Her gasps of surprise ant
pleasure mingled with words of ap
probation were all that could be ex
pected from one taken so much II
surprise. So what was really started
to he a little joke on Miss Steward
through the efforts of those concerned
o turned out to be in reality very
pleasant and agreeable surprise.
