Delightfully appointed surroundings . . . congenial companionship. . . friends in for bridge . . . running fire of light-hearted conversa^tion. A telephone call is expected. The requirements of complete comfort, for guests as well as formembers of the household, demand facilities that will make telephoneing so convenient that the service is always a helpful element inmodern living. Portable telephone installations place the servicewithin arms reach, anywhere in the home, at any time. They fitin with the modern way of life. If telephone jacks are providedhere and there about the house, it is possible to have a portable instrument brought and plugged in right at ones elbow when someonecalls up.

Length of years should bring assurance that such leisure as one canafford shall not be interrupted needlessly. For those who look backupon the strenuous days of youth and middle age, the saving of stepsis no longer a luxury,—it is a vital necessity. Honored of all placesin the home should be the room for whose occupant the shadowshave begun to fall a-slant. To it should be brought, among otherthings that make for contentment, the equipment necessary to renderthe use of the telephone comfortable and convenient. For those whoare more or less shut in, the telephone is an invaluable link with theoutside world. Even more important, for the elderly or infirm members of the household, are the facilities which modern telephone installations aff^ord for quick and easy communication with servants andothers under the same roof. c\. ./:> cr V (C
