THE WIDOW AGAIN!

The announcement that more than 50 per cent, of the girls employed at the London Post Ofiice telephone exchanges are suffering from anaemia and general debility has brought an interesting suggestion from a Harley Street specialist, says a writer in the "Westminster Gazette." He maintains that all girls employed in any such work suffer from the same mental strain. And he proposes .that the Post Ofiice should employ, not young girls—who have a tendency to go away and got married, leaving the officials to tram their youthful successors— •but widows who have had.children and steadied their'-'-Torres."' The woman between' thirty and forty, who has grappled with husband and children would be better able to preserve her temper and deal with the occasional fractiousness of the telephone subscriber. And she would be more likely to stick to her job and save the officials the trouble of training the new girls. One may admit that the woman who has dealt with a husband could not be upset by a telephone taunt. But even widows cannot Ire trusted to refrain from matrimony.
