The Telephone Voice,
An Iadiana Telephone girl has won
a husband because of her sweet
voice. Doubtless the husband is to
be congratulated, because, as high
authority has it, a voice gentle, soft
and low is an excellent thing in
woman, and is, it may be added,
pecially desirable in the case of the
woman who presides over the domes-
tic hearth, With this example be-
fore them, and others of the kind
now and then reported, it might be
thought that the young women at
the telephone exchanges would en-
gage in systematic cultivation of
sweet and musical intonation. There
is, however, a much better oppor-
tunity before them for winning popu-
larity than is to be gained by mere
vocal sweetness, and that is prompt-
ness of speech and action. What
does it matter to the average tele-
phone patron whether thé voice of
the operator at the switch-board is
melodious of not if it is slow in
coming over the wire, or if it is
heard, after long delay, only to drawl
“number?” and again “number?”
after more delay, and then connects
with a number quite different from
the one the patron calls. What does
it profit the telephone girl, matri-
monially of otherwise, if she calmly,
through in dulcet voice, declares to
the anxious caller that the line is
“busy now,” and continues so to as-
sert, while the impatient man at the
other end of the wire with good
reason to know it is not busy listens
in a frenizied state of mind to her
idle chat with her chums? Nev,
verily, it is not sweetness for which
the telepho subscriber yearns, but
for a answer to his calls and
prompt and accurate connection with
the other telephone. The may
be shrill and sharp, or and
raucous, or it may be impeded by a
wad of gum, but it will win favor if
it only responds quickly If the
phone girl cannot be both
ous and prompt, let her
and she will be more likely to get a
husband than through
alone. Also she will
lessen the present
seemly wrath and
community. She may, in
will, become a great
Indianapolis Star.
