She cannot compel an answer. The party called may be unwilling to leave a particular household duty— may be in another part of the home beyond closed doors—may be chatting with a neighbor—may be marketing— may be slow in answering. Strange, but true, calls are sometimes designedly unanswered. Telephone records show that the great majority of “don’t answer” re- ‘ia come from residence calls. In usiness, where it is a matter of dollars and cents, it is always the assigned duty of some one to be within sound i of the telephone bell. “They don’t answer” is the state- - . ment of a situation absolutely beyond the control of the telephone operator.
