line romance, after that, if we had
company and there was an in-
teresting ring on the telephone,
Aunt Martha would sit still for a
few moments and then get up and
start looking around as if there
was something she had misplaced.

After living in a "patty line"-
house you developed a sense about

"Notoeious Listener
Abbie' Jenkins was a, notorious
listener., Her telephone was placed
at ..a 'convenient spot on the wall so
that she could sit doWn and con-
centrate on her listening. She also
had a great clock and the ticking
sound was a dead giveaway.
Abbie would never admit listen-
ing to the telephone and would
often comment on what a terrible
habit it was for people to listen
in on • telephone conversations.
Uncle Albert tricked her, one time
by suddenly stopping his conver-
sation to the pig buyer and saying:
"Abbie, your clock is wrong." Be-
fore 'she 'had time to collect her
Wits she said: "It is, not, I set it
this morning by the school bell."
Abbie 'was horrified but the corn-
,munity had a wonderful chuckle,
The atianee part 'about the party
line in, the.chtendayees the face :thee
everybody listens but very, ,very
re* ever admit they . do. On the
'other hand, if there's a hint 'of
tragedy, somebody sick •or a fire,
just listen to them chiming in,
without any'thoughttof preserving
their declaration of "no listening".
Possibly women are more inclined
to cover up the fact that they listen.
