A telephone is a personal friend of every woman—I think women a @ @roup are much happier and ,@ home with Dr, Bell's invention then men are.

The phone company bases its entire case on saving time, which is & sad mistake if they are ap- peeling to women telephone ~ users. Another thing, the phone com- pany suggests you pick up the phone and say sweetly and gent- ly: “Mes. Jones dpeaking.” Lots ~of times Mrs. Jones doesn't want “that information conveyed until she’s sure she wants to speak to the caller. After all,, it may be “e Bef 2 RR Ste ee, Rimeone she doesn't want to speak to in the first place, and ‘after @ preliminary ‘hello,” - it's up to the caller to reveal HIS mission and then let her decide what she wants to do about it. It's different with Mr. Jones—in the office. He can sweep up the phone and say gruffly, “Jones “speaking,” but then he’s paid to be speaking. I'll bet Jones, who follows the phone company ad- viee ali day, will growl “hello,” when he answers the phone at home . With the exception of the Hiritish, who have evolved a rather typical and even more time-wasting “Are you there?,” cthe “hello” telephone salutatio is practically universal. If the plione company wants to really make this thing work, they’ve got te proselytize the whole world— and figure out the minutes wast- ged on trans-Atlantic telephone calls by everyone shouting “Helle,” “Allo” etc. back and forth And my clincher in this argu- -ment is the fact that there’s ab- ~solutely no possible way to sub- “stitute “ hello, hello, hello!!” as “a shout when you're suddenly eut off in mid-sentence, or you con’t heer anyone on the other end of the wire. Certainly not even the _Phone company is going to expect -us. te keep murmuring, “Aber- “erombie, Abernathy and Enth- whistle Abercrombie, Aber- nathy and Enthwhistle.” Or even Enthwhistle residence, Enth- whistle residence.” No, I think “they better just let “hello” alone “and think up another campaign. “SEE Ro oD OES Ten mummies, recently dis- covered near Memphis, Egypt, are believed to have belonged to “the country’s Twenty - sixth | «Dynasty, about 600 years before!
