of biting ridicule, reminding her that
telephone numbers could not be

A well-known Harlem matron
flushed with embarrassment as she
told of the following telephone con-

being in temporary need of employ
ment:
Judging from the voice, it was
middle-aged man who answered the
telephone. He did not ask the usual
preliminary questions, whether she
was married or the salary expected.
What he wanted to know was whether
she would "sleep-in" occasionally, so
as to be available to his son when
needed" The son was Ia years old.
Ask Sex Questions
But by far the most startling story
was that told by girl who adver-
tised in a Sunday paper for work in
doctors office, stating stenographic
ability, education and experience.
The next day she was called over
the telephone by man who stated
that he was calling for DR.. of
the Roosevelt Hospital. He then be-

The girl made an appointment for
him to call the next day, then in

fellow was too slick to be thus caught.
