WHAT'S WHAT
nv HELEN nrcIB

Oddly enough, many deaf persons are
very fond Of conversation; when they
require answers, as they 50 often do,
this is very embarrassing to the other
speaker especially II the talk Is carried
on in a public place like q hotel, rail-
road station or restaurant, where the
shouted responses attract too much at
tention.
Men and women who are even slightly
deaf should not engage in argumentative
talk since those to whom they speak
a mitch too loud for good manners. II
the deaf insist on talking, the people
who are fortunate enough to have good
hearing faculties should humor them by
mods and smiles, or may express their
honest dissent by gestures or by shaking
the head. Loud talk is always bad form
and the infrmity of deafness is no ex.
cuse for attracting undesirable atten.

It is natural that Timber joints

Put it another way. The impuIsive and

l. naturally make you 'mad."
They don't do anything disagreeable,
they don't mean to get on your nerves
or be unpleasant, but you begin to stiff
en- and bristle as soon as you start to
talk to them.
Very often they are plumbers or elec-
tricians or carpenters whom you have

He arrives, this plumber OF cleo
trician or carpenter, always on the very
day that you want TO leave the house
locked up and go down town for days
shopping.
But, of course, this isn't his fault.
He has no way of knowing what day
you want to go shopping or whether,
indeed, you have any idea OF going
shopping.
All he knows is that he has been sent
for to fix that leak or that lock or that
light or something.
He has reported for work in the
morning and the boss has said: "Go
around to these people first, they're
been calling up several times to have
that thing fixed"
And 80 he has come around.
