November Lay late, thinking of 10th many things, and in especial of what sweet literary revenge could be wrought by the publication of memoirs in which only the author was anonymous... .All the day in the shops trying to find some brocade for our bench, and came home so tired that I could not bear even the weight of my earrings....After dinner I did read again in Meredith’s Modern Love, nor do I think so highly of it as formerly. I am confident that so ratioc- inative a spouse would bore any and that the lady had some just in keeping him on the district limits. B.

Could the telephone directory in the hands of each subscriber be revised from hour to hour, there would be no need for the information operator. But even during its printing and binding, thousands of changes take place in the telephone community. New subscribers are added to the list. Old ones move their places of business or of residence. Though their names are not listed on the directory, these subscribers must be connected by the highways of speech with all others in the community. To supplement the printed page, there must be guides at the crossroads of conversation. Such are the information operators, selected for their task because of quickness and accuracy, courtesy and intelligence. At their desks, connected with the switch- boards in central offices, they relieve the regular opera- tors from answering thousands of questions about telephone numbers that would otherwise impede the rendering of service. If they are unnecessarily asked for numbers already in the directory, service is retarded. “Information” stands for the most complete utilization of telephone facilities. “BELL SYSTEM” Crossroads of Conversation AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND_ASSOCIATED COMPANIES- One Policy, One System, Universal Service, and all directed toward Better Service comicbooks.com
