HAD LAST WORD
TELEPHONE GIRL'S NEAT REVENGE UPON AUTHOR. London, Sept. 26. When the French author Paul Achard, aggrieved at the methods of telephone exchange girls, wrote a satirical hook, "These Women of Central," he forgot that th'ey were more privileged than all their sisters to have the last word. Aehard's life sinee has been un-bear-able. Every time he lifts a receiver he hears "Scoundrel, monSfcer, imbecile." When he tries to complain to the sup'ervisor he is pertly told, "That won't worlc. Pig, idiot, slanderer." The girls are so united in their hond of mutual defence that Achard is unE^ble to obtain redress. 'Even his servants have been redueed to tears by constant taunts for worlcing for "such a traducer."
