Boston Female BARRIERS.
portop H1oha

1.-THE rumor has some foundation," said
the proprietor of a fancy barber shop. 81 am
seriously considering the feasibility of open
ing a shop, apart from this one, and employ
ing female artists exclusively"
''You would engage the most attractive
ones, presumed"
Naturally. 1 would get eight or ten of
the hondsomest and most sldlful young la
dies and train them myself. The scheme, 1
believe, will keep my shop reeking with pa
trons.'
"But don't you apprehend that great deal
of time will be consumed in firtations be
tween young men in the chair and the art
ists?''
81 have provided for all contingencies Of
that sort. Everything will be under a per-
feet system. Each man will receive ticket
upon entering the room, upon which are to
be printed the rules and regulations Of the
establishment. They must be observed to
the letter. and with mild relaxation Of
the features he handed the reporter a card,
which read as follows:
Customers are not to regard it as a social
obligation to converse with the lady artists.
The commonplace Of the day are all that
the proprietor expects to be uttered. Whis-
pering is absolutely forbidden.
The artists will be the same as deaf and
dumb to all young men who come here to
make mash. Every gentleman will be
treated with uniform courtesy.
Those who are not gentleman may save
themselves the humiliation of being elected
by remaining away altogether.
Ladies are peculiarly adapted to do shaving
and hair-dressing more gracefully, tastefully
and expeditiously than men, and it is for
this reason that the proprietor has secured
the services of respectable ladies in the hope
that their presence will lend an atmosphere
of dignity and moral elevation to the barber
shop which it has not known Heretofore.
s'There you have it in a nutshell. There
are plenty of woman who cannot find en-
ployment, but who must make living some
how. My purpose is to introduce female
barber shop where there will be no nonsense,
and I have already hired for my head barber
bright girl who graduated at Vassar col
lege, and who on account of her fathers bus
mess misfortunes is thrown upon the world
to support herself. l am giving her instruc-
ton now in the use Of the razor, and know
that she will develop to real clever barber"
Chow soon will you open the shop!'
s'Within the next three months, If posi-
BILE. At present am selecting my help,
and of course, it will take some time to get
Just the faces 1 want, and the ones who can
readily ACQUIRE the art.''
