has finally been found between the
high corset like waist of the suits of
four years ago and the straighter
lines of other years. The two-but-

button slightly out of line. very
similar to the standard double
breasted, will prove the vogue this
season.
Shorter vests has Jnecessitated a
revision in the height Of the waist

of several years ago are seldom seen

His Trousers
The well dressed man will. this
summer, wear his trousers just to
the tops of his low shoes.
There has been variation in shoes
for the coming summer. Low shoes
are, of course, the popular summer
wear, with colors running to lighter
tans, rather than black and ox-blood
shades. Lighter shades of spats are
very tasty and white spats of a light

black shoes.

said. THE new operating method that has
been in effect for the past few days marks
another advance in telephone operating
methods.
This new practice. known as restricted
repetition generally does away with the
operator repeating the number after II is
received from the subscriber. Instead OF
repeating the number as formerly. the
operator says thank you. II is believed

universal approval Of every telephone
user. since ii will increase the efficiency
of the operating force which means a
quicker service.
People generally speak clearly and dis
tinctly in giving the number Of the tele.
phone wanted and il Is felt that with the
new operating practice 10 effect the public
will be well pleased. However. In case Of
doubt as TO the number wanted as she IN.
derstands 1t. the operator will repeat as

greater majority Of cases. however. she will
merely thank you and complete the cal
or give definite report.
Under the new operating method call
can be established much quicker thar
heretofore. which means an improved ser
vice for the subscriber and we believe thai
everyone will accept this operating prac-
tice in the spirit Of courtesy and efficienc,
as it is intended by the MANAGEMENT o.
