My partner, is a solemn lad of about 21. ds was pretty much disgusted when he learned he was to. have "one o' them there girls" to work with, but no has become resigned now, I think.

We don't talk a great deal (being, usually, rather noisily occupied) but our- relationship, i not enthusiastic, is perfectly friend- Not so my relationship with Joe, the third, station, who, when I was on the line working near beginning, discovered that I could be teased long before. I discovered the answers, -or even wits.enough to recognize'the teasing such. '-'Jecze, Annie, come here" Joe would call.
