THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

The telephone girl site still in her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. Slit' hears all the gossip, she hears all the news, she knows who is happy and who lias the bines : she knows all our sorrows, she knows all our joys, she knows every girl who in chasing the hoys; she knows of our troubles, she knows of our strife; she knows every man who talks mean to .his wife; she knows every time we are out with “the boys;” she hears the excuses each fellows employs; she knows every woman who has a dark past; she knows every man who’s inclined to be “fast” ; in fact, there’s secret ’neath each saucy curl of that quiet demure-looking telephone girl. If the telephone girl told all that she knows it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes ; she could sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail; she could let go a story which, gaining in force, would cause half our wives to sue for divorce; she could get all our churches mixed up in a light, and turn all our days into sorrowing night; in, fact, she could keep the whole town in a stew, if she’d tell a tenth part of the things that she knew. Oh, brother, now doesn’t it make your head whirl when you think what you owe to the telephone girl?
