Three way calling is the more modern day feature.You actually had to "dial" the wife, it was not connected to your line until you did.
"Party Lines" was sharing the "same phone number" (line) with complete strangers. You could be talking on the phone and they could pick up their phone (their line was connected to yours) and interrupt you, or worse "listen" in on you conversation.
