MANICURE HAS HER TROUBLES
Women WIN De Mean, She Complains. and
Men WIN He Fresh.

The manicure is not willing to admit
that her lot Is 90 easy as some Of her critics
think.
Most Of the girls 1 know Of except those
employed in the large establishments, said
a man cure, ssuffer from indigestion. That
is because customers often prevent US from
going TO lunch at the proper time.
1T Ia very easy to say that one should
make II a rule to 90 70 lunch at certain
time every day whether customers are
waiting or not. I'd like to zee a IqmSn
who would ever come back again II abe
were asked 10 wait for q manicure to 60 TO
lunch.
THAT would be tho end Of her. Women
oan be Just as mean 10 one another IN
manicure's place as anywhere else. They
come here and complain about the smell
Of smoke.
You shouldn't let men smoke in here
they say ITS very disagroeAble for ladies'
Besides nice girls ought not 70 want 70
allow men 70 smoke IN their ofdoes.' -.
At In a manicITe's room and not want to
smoke Perhaps u would be best II they
did not But men are much better 0usto-
mers than women.
sThey come more regularly and they are
much more liberal In the matter OF tips
No woman could make her place pay with
up with the soolding Of the women.
Nothing gives q woman more pleas ure
than TO come and find a manicure out at
lunch. You're never here, they love to
looked and the card that you arc out At
lunch. You must have q lot Of customers
20 be able 10 take % much time
THAT always means that she has been ut
the ofioe once and found me out.
Men are just a. mean sonetimes. The
other day one Of them used the telephone,
II IL q pay station and we have 70 pay for

sAs econ a. be left the room i called up
the operator and asked her hcW II hap
pened be could talk for 90 long on one call
Il was two calls and she had told him 20.
The next time be came into the plaoo he
You owe me 10 oents from last week.
I told him. You had two calls then
He declared It was impossible and said
he would give me 10 cents for the call he
had Just had 10 split the difference. Can
you think Of anything meaner. than that
OF course. he got his rnanicurtng just 10
cents cheaper, for paid for the tslephons.
