"It's Connected"
Now,Mrs.Jones"
When our installer finishes putting in
your telephone, he says in effect—
"Now you can talk with almost anyone,
anywhere!"
In normal times you may reach any
telephone—up to more than 9D per rent
of the total telephones in the world.
Each year we have tried to maim your
service of greater value to you than
ever before. Calls are completed more
quickly. Your voice is clearer, more
recognizable at any distance. Interrup-
tions to your service are less frequent
than ever.
Few things you
buy meet great-
er value — day
in, day out —
than your tele•
phone service.

Care for the dog :distracted her
mind to same extent and helped her
through that first evening, as Jan
had hoped.
But when she knew that hen hus-
band's boat had slipped its moorings,
and that every turn of the wheels in
the engine -room was bearing him a
little further from her, her real trial
began.
After a period of eventful happen-
ings and emotional experience came
deadly Monotony and loneliness,
Jan's very anxiety for her person-
al. comfort helped to increase her
suffering. st he had been unable
to provide for her adequately, if she
had had to find employment, or even
it she had had her own housework
to do, she wound have fared better.
But she had nothing to do all day.
San had never thought of her need
of interest and occwpation. Pew men
realise to ate full what it means to
be a woman left to the harder lot of
waiting„ while the man goes away to
activity.
Jan did not. He had done his

Teddy had been a playfellow,
someone who had temporarily filled

had began to be vaguely conecions.

The weeks wore by, Christmas

Always she had had her work, her
