T HERE is but little doubt that
the telephone is one OF the
greatest blessings of modern
times No home is complete
without it. | am not saying
this because / happen to have per-
sonal friend who is the general man
ager of a telephone company and
who might reduce my rate at any
moment if he cared to. | say 1t be-
cause l think it.
One can hardly realize what a diff
ference it would have made in earlier
ages if there had been. telephones.
For example, Columbus, instead of
spending eighteen years in circlinS
round Europe to find Il royal patron
for his voyage, would just have called,
"Hullo, Queen sabella-Christophe
Columbus speaking" and the thing
would be done.
But what / want to talk about here
Is the use of the telephone in our
ordinary life today.
The telephone is an altogether mod
ern instrument, and yet there are
some things appertaining to its use
that belong to all ages.
For example. there is nothing which
brings out more clearly the difference
between a man and a woman than
the way in which every man and
every woman talks at the telephone.
The man always finds 1t hard TO go
on. The woman finds 1t impossible to
stop. The man goes to answer the
telephone. and you hear him say, "All
right, George, I'll be there" And the
conversation Is over.
But a woman goes to the phone and
she says, Why, Min, I'll just be de-
lighted to come. . No, indeed. |

Then there follows five min
utes of sustained talk followed by.
"Wen, good-by. Min, I must

Five minutes more talk, ending in
ordinations. struggles. protests,
good.hys, hoorahs. regrets-and at
last each woman leaves the telephone
and says:
"Mv goodness, l thought that
woman would never stop talking"

The lady did not reply.
