Wanted in the manicure parlors,
Katie. All right, coming at once"
Across the store and up into the meZ-
canine gallery goes the floorwalker
closely heeled by the houn dog reporter.
In the tiled, fumigated, chemically pure,
almost hermetically sealed ''parlor" sits
the marceled manicure artist and across
from her the victim-a man. The matri-
culated manicure with decided note of
anger in her voice gets first honors and
states the case.
You see. it's this way" she said. This
gentleman came in for manicure and
began, as usual, with the, left hand.
When called for the right hand, he told
me there wasn't any other hand-that he
had only one hand. You know the charge
for gentlemans manicure Is 90 cents
and figured out that as long as | had
lost another customer on his account~he
ought to pay me 35 cents for the one
hand. But he insists that If the rate is
so cents for ten fingers. it should be just
one-half for five fingers and is only will
ing to pay me 25 cents. So l decided not
to take the responsibility and sent for
YOU"
For a minute that astute diplomat, the
floorwalker, looked dazed and somewhat
dismayed. 1t was new one even on
him, but after a minutes thought his
pronuncamento followed.
You are quite correct, Miss Ford. in

circumstances we shall have to accept
the smaller price that the gentleman
thinks he should pay. You know that the
absolute rule of this store is that price
marks must and shall be prominently dis
played. The only price lists shown in
this department read: Ladies' maEicure,
IS cents and 'gentlemens manicure, 30
cents. The cost OF a one-hand mani
cure is not displayed, so that the fault is
clearly ours. You will, therefore, charge
the gentleman only 25 cents and 1 will
Immediately put in an order for an ap-
propriate sign. When the sign appears
you win please place 1t in conspicuous
place.
II hope, SIR, that the concession and ex-
planation we make are quite satisfactory
to you. l thank you. Good morning.
Call again."
AS the gentleman departed the mani
cure with fine sense Of humor sub
sided into her chair in gale Of laughter.
The floorwalker, puzzling and deploring
her levity, departed. mopping his brow.
1t was all very serious with him.-Wash-

her Is that right, madam? Now, Miss
Clara, let us hear your side of 1t"
"Well, Miss Clara, l am afraid you are
in the wrong. You say that the lady
asked you particularly to try on the veil
in order to see If your freckles showed
through and You told her you did not
have a freckle. Having looked carefully
7 find that the customer is right and
that there is small freckle just on the
bridge of your nose. Madam, the clerk is
very sorry that she contradcted you-you
see both Of you may have been right
The freckle may have appeared since the
clerk left her home. this morning, How
much yelling will you require? One yard
please, Miss Clara. Thank you, madam.
Good day"
There is no use crying, Miss Clara.
OF course, you haven't q sign of freckle
and 1t is quite true that the customer
needed new face instead of veil, but
you must learn to use tact. Tact! Tact!
That is what l am always urging upon
you"
Honeyed Words smother Wrath.
Clever escape by floor walker.
| "Ah, madam, that is too bad. You are
angry and have quite forgotten your
purse. Perhaps we can have it arranged
for you. Have you charge account
here? Yes? That is good. One moment,
! please, while l call the bookkeeping de-
partment" Pause, juggling with tie
phone, irritating wait; customer talking
excitely all the while.
"Ah! 1t is all right, msdam-quite all
right. The matter is arranged. We GER
tainly meant no insult, and we did not
! presume to doubt your word; it was aim
ply matter of business to verify your

Cathedral avenue? Well it won't take
one of our messengers over an hour and
quarter to get out there and back. Send
| her the stamps" Next!
! why, madam. what have you there?
A dead canary bird! Well, Well. Too
bad. You bought it here yesterday, and
ten minutes after it was delivered this
morning you found 1t dead in its cage?
You are sure your cat did not kill it? Its
| tail appears to be missing, and l am
rather sure we would not send out bird
minus Its tail feathers. No, We do not
doubt your word. If you say the bird
died a natural death, We believe you.
This way, pease-to the basement.
| Mr.. Brown, this lady says she bought
| this canary here yesterday, and that 1t
died in ten minutes after the driver dellv-
cred the package this morning. Please

No, madam, we do not insist on having
the dead bird back, You may take it
home and feed 1t to the cat" Customer
