Here’s where the messenger on wheels comes in, She carries the message to the igean who is to send it by wire on its way. She may have to carry it half a block. She may have to go further with it, She has to dodge into one of the rowa, de- posit her message at the right desk and go back for more. The busine: of fetch and carry is kept up all day. The clicking of the keys in that busy hive makes as much noise as a small-sized foundry. You can’t hear the girls coming on their skates. You hear « whiz, turn and the graceful skater halt a block away. They @re on to the curves of that storehouse skating rink | and can glide by a desk without over- | turning a chair or disarranging a strand of back hair. + The skates make no noise. If they do it can’t be heard in the rattle of the keys. Willie Thompson went around the curve once when the itors and their guide were approach- ing from the opposite direction. A girl was walking close behind. Two were coming from the opposite direction, Willie never asked anyone to get out of his wi He just got out of every- body’ 's way. He went silently between the two girls, went around the third and backed out of the way of Mr. impson and never lost a second, Be- foro his remarkable feat could be commented upon he was coming back. TIGHT EFFECT IN SKIRTS SEEMS TO HELP THE GIRLS. The girls are just as adept. Their skirts don't bother them a bit, In fact the tight effect is just the thing to work on rollers, They cut pigeon Wings, describe the figure eight, tango, maxixe and do everything but the hesitation, There's nothing slow about them. That's why they got the skates, In all there will be at work soon 75 to 100 gliders, In the old days when the Western Union put the 1 llers under their em- ployees {t meant the toboggan, Now it means more work, And the novelty doesn’t interfere with the work of the Operators, those beautiful blondes and brunettes and demi-- “Doesn't it get on your nerves?" one of the operators was asked.
