Studies Character
of Hotel Guests by
Talk Over Phones

Did you ever think when you were
raspins believing or trying to talk
your sweetest from your hotel room
telephone to the clerk at the desk
that your character was being ana
lyzed by that tone OF voice?
Mrs. verna Bailey. who Is one Of
the few official women hotel clerks
In North Dakota cities, has learned
to study the character Of the guests
by their voices.
II don't look at their hands or
study their faces, I listen to them.'
Mrs. Bailey said.
No matter how tired men are or
how badly they want their favorite
room In the hotel, they are still easier
to accommodate. according to Mrs.
Bailey. She finds them more busi-
ness like to deal with and not as
fussy over details as women.
Mrs. Bailey has been at the Hotel
Prince since the opening.
I'VE have had many celebrated
guests which 1t has been my pleasure
to meet personally"
Mrs., Bailey recalls especially Roald
Amundsen. the late explorer. Admiral
