So if a lady calls, and it is not known whether or not to return the call, the hostess may consult the “GUIDE” where the information will be found, without calling a doz- en times over the phone in an at- tempt to ring up a friend with the usual ‘central answer ‘“busy.” All such troubles will be dispensed with. If the “GUIDE'S” statement is not as satisfactory as may be desired, then full particulars will be fur- nished, confidentially, of course, on request to the agency. This confi- dential information must be treated as such and returned when read This confidential jnformation will contain a complete history of the person, her age and former place of residence. The “GUIDE” will divide the la- dies into eighteen classes, for the purpose of social rating, putting in- to each class those whose character and habits resemble. The ratings are as follows: A, Of comparative wealth, but does not entertain. A-1. Of comparative wealth; en- tertains, giving elaborate parties, with best service; home elegantly arranged, and capable of giving par- ties of most elaborate kind; charm- ing hostess. A-2, Of reasonable wealth; en- tertains, giving parties suitable to situation; charming hostess, talker. B. Not wealthy, and gives no time to parties; seldom accepts invi- | tations; polished education, loves music; club worker.
