TELEPHONING

az have a compliment for you, Miss Fox, said Mr.. Nor
gan, addressing his private secretary.
Dining out with two of my business friends last night
we were discussing courtesy in business matters, and during
the conversation they both told me that they received the
most courteous treatment in the city over the telephone from
my office. You know how that pleased me and knew it would
please you too. How do you do it, Miss Fox?
Naturally enough, Mr.. Morgan. | think it is just a
matter of the tone of the voice and promptness. personally
[ am very susceptible to a PERSONS voice over the telephone.
Then too [ always dislike having to wait long for an answer.
[ figured if l felt that way probably other people did too,
"a I have always tried to be careful of both of those things IN
my use of the telephone"
Is there not a message for many of my business friends
IN this conversation? Remember that when you talk over the
telephone you are not talking to a piece OF mechanism, but to
a person. The same tact and courtesy with which you nanole
a personal caller should be used in handling the telephone
caller. When telephonng concentrate all your attention upon
it. 1t is only an exceptional instance when it may be necessary
to read letters or sign papers while you are telephon1ng.
II is never necessary to be curt and snappy over the
phone in order to show how business like one Is 10 acquire
a pleasing voice, never pitch it higher than the norma tone;
nitcbed even lower than usual is better. Above all, speak
slowly.

Answer
AImost every baby, unless in
the hottest climates needs some wool
about his first clothes. Their bodies
are easily chilled and wool offers
a protection from this and damp
ness and keeps the child comfortable
and free from colds. Part wool and
cotton is the best choice for shirts
and stockings.
The best bed is one made from a
large sized willow clothes basket

two coats of fiat white, and one or
two coats of cream enamel. This
makes it washable and good to look
at.
Put a fitted hair mattress in the

His Mind Not ON Women

His Mind Not on Women
Now a bright young engi-
neer working his way through col
lege who advocates matrimony as
an aid to education.
Nobody will quarrel with him on
that score particularly. Almost
everybody who has haltingly and
timidly promised the minister IL
will" has ne doubts whatever about
marriage being "an aid to educa-
ton"
As an educator the said holy bonds
are right there with d Dang. Many
a man who, as a bachelor. felt that
he was a fairly well-informed citi-
zen, has had a painful awakening.
Many a girl who has rejoiced in the
%adjectives brilliant" and Clever" on
the lips of her associates has dis
covered the plain truth about her
standing in the intelligence tests af-
ter she has been Mrs" for a while.
The young engineer says that he
| got married at the start of his col
lege career in order to take his mind
off women and give him time to
think.
II soon found that a fraternity
house doesn't quiet down until after
midnight" he said. Then you can
settle down and study. Now, my
work is all over at hat hour. Get
married-and you're stabilized, You
have a serious attitude toward your
work. You are not wasting seven
nights a week 'fussing' the girls,
as l used to do in the old days"
We suppose. in the interests of
higher education, we'll have to adj
NIT that girls are a terrible nuisance.
They have an eXasperating habit of
d~istracting a mana real mana
freshman, for instance, from his SER
lous business in life, which is to get
an education.
College girls especially are guilty
of this dreadful thing. They so often
combine good looks with brains, and
that, according to the masculine
viewpoint, is an objectionable COM
bination.
The unfortunate part of it-for
the men-is that the colleges nova
days are encouraging girls to absorb
a little education for themselves. In
this intensive jazz age. however, the
tendency is to move the dead-line
younger and younger.
If this galloping pace keeps up for
two or three more generations N.e'll
find a precocious male Kindergarten
seeking a permit to marry in order
to get the girls off his mind"

BELLINGHAM, Wash. - When
Bellingham celebrated its annual tu-
lip festival recently. little nine-year-
old Edna l.. Larkin was the proud
heroine of the occasion.
For it was her own tulip love song
that thousands sang during the three
days of the festival. and the gentle
words of her mother that soothed
their ears.
Edna is the daughter of DIR. and
Mrs. Edmund f. Larkin of this city.
From early childhood she developed
a love for music, and when she
showed talent at i~mproyising tunes,
her parents encouraged her. She
has grown so proficient with the
bow, that now, at the age of nine,
she plays first violin in the D'Aur-
vile orchestra and in the junior or
chestra of the Bellingham Normal
School.
First Success
Tulip Love"-the rollicking waltz
sung at the festivals Edna's first
big success, although she had been
submitting bits of her genius to her
parents ever since she felt music in
her system. The tune came to her
while she was toying at the piano
another of her accomplishments -
and her mother was away.
When Mrs. Larkin returned, Ed
ma showed her the song. MRS. Lar
