 A time-saving change in the method of handling toll line telephone calls will be put into effect by The South ern New England Telephone Company November l. Aside from good results in speeding up toll service, this meth cd takes the subscriber behind the scenes" so to speak, where he can hear, but not see, the work that is done to promptly put through his call No change is made in the present method of placing a toll call. The toll IOperator is called in the usual way and this detail of the transaction is closed with the operator saying, Thank you MT. Smith, we will call you" But the1 enters the new method. MT. Smith 1T New Haven is calling 2-1234 in Hart ford, let us say. The New Haven tOl operator calls Hartford, gives thu number desired and the connection be ween the operators is maintained til the Hartford operator establishes tha } the line desired is not busy. Then sh
 reports to New Haven that she i r Ringing The New Haven operate
 responds with the word Right" an 5 at once rings up the calling subscri
 Der. If the calling subscriber answer
 before the called subscriber, the Ne'
 Haven operator reports that the per = son desired is being called and re
 quests that the line be held. Tn caller then stays on the line whil the Hartford operator continues he
 work on the call, leaving the cord
 connected so that the calling part. - who is holding the line, can hear a
 that is said by the operators and be
 tween the operator and the static
 called. Of course, the new practiC
 will not apply to calls on which
 busy report is received and is not al
 plicable to appointment" and som other classes of calls. It is well D know that by this method the perso
 called, or the one calling, may be o |. the wire when you answer and is
 position to hear all that is said Tn f new practice has been in use in a
 experimental way and has proved pol
 ular among telephone users becaus
 of the advantages they derive. The
 appreciate being permitted to he'
 what is going on, are able to keep
 touch with the progress of their call
 to immediately rectify errors in r
