"Women who ore alone in a flat all day take many precautions to insure safety," a gas collector said. "One, way that I learned the other day made me feel rather foolish. When I went into the kitchen to read the meter the mistress of the fiat stepped to the telephone and said: "'It's all right, Central. It's only Itie gas man. "Of course, she was under no obligations to explain that cryptic allusion to myself, but she did it voluntarily. " 'Every time the doorbell rings when I am hero alcne,' she said, 'I take the receiver off the hook and leave the telephone open before I go to the door, so that if T should have occasion to poream they could hear me at headquarters and send somebody to my assistance.' "To utilize the telephone company is a private detective bureau struck me as nervy, but I have since learned that a lot of lone women resort to that plan with satisfaction to all co :erned."
