CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you please let me know
whether or not it is correct to
tip the owner of a beauty par
lor? Some people say you
should and others say you
shouldn't.
Recently 1 was attended to
by the owner who was ex-
ceptionally nice to me, doing
extra little favors. Unfortu-
nately I did not know what to
do so I didn't leave any tip.
Was that correct?
Whenever one of the en-
ployeS waits on me I always
tip about Is cents. c.
You are not alone in your
wondering about this, dear
friend, for every mothers
daughter of us has the same
perplexity. There is no rule
about this-I wish that there
were, or that the owners Of
beauty parlors would publicly
announce what they would like
to have us do about it.
A few years ago, a very few
years ago, there seemed to be
a quite definite feeling that the
owner of a beauty parlor was
not to be tipped. Now, how
ever, they seem to look for and
to welcome the tip as much as
each of their employees. Even
the most proud and naughty"
of them do not refuse tip. as
far as can determine, and
the custom, at least quite gen.
orally, now is to tip the owner
as well as the employe.

Says He Hasn't Forgotten
DTENU Mn IITATTTI By Dr. Logan
AMI Clendenng

In the hope that more COM
fort will come from It, abstract
another recent set of studies in
blood pressure.
They were made by Drs. Al
varez and Stanley. They did an
interesting thing. They mea-
sured the blood pressure in g.
900 prisoners and 400 prison
guards. Since these men were
of all ages and lived decidedly
under stable conditions, the re-
suits are interesting from the
standpoint of average variations
in blood pressure.
One important feature Of the
work was that the guards had
on the average higher pressure
than the prisoners. The guards
thought they were being exam
ined to decide whether they
should keep their positions. This
emotional stress probably caused
the rise in their pressureS. Such
a finding is certainly of dis
tinct Importance to all agencies
who take blood pressures on ap-
plicants for positions.
Another point of Importance
is that the prisoners were not,
at he time the pressures were
taken, users of alcohol. Their
acquaintance with bootleggerS
was on the social plane, as cell
mates. Yet the average blood
pressureS were no different
either lower or higher-than
comparable groups of men sub
ject to all the temptations Of
a naughty world.
It required several readings to
, determine what DrS. Alvarez
and Stanley called mean pres
sure. They found this to aver
age lis, a little lower than life
insurance companies give it. A
number Of prisoners had high
blood pressure, and this occurred
in those aged 20 as well as those
aged 40. From this the inveSti-
gators concluded that all those
who have high blood pressure at
the age of 90 had it at the age
of 20. Their reasoning is not
easy to see at this point and the
conclusion is not easy to believe.

A good thing to think about
ii you're thinking about fur
niture-is the two-piece suite of
sofa and chair that's going
into SO many fashionable living
rooms. Because it means COM
fort for the whole family.
For the father Of the family,
tired Of his office swivel chair.
For the mother, wearied from
the hundreds Of trips back and
forth, up and down the house.
Even for the children, who
won't admit they're tired, but
who are willing to relax # they
can curl up on a soft cushion.
Queen Anne Suite
One good fashion in two
piece suites is shown above.
It's Queen Anne type, as you
can see from the curved back
and curved legs. And it's q
favorite because so many living
rooms have other Queen Anne
type pieces in them.

a thing which pleased me-to

in blood pressure in the same

Don't Waste Time on

Don't Waste Time on Him!
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am in love with a young
man and went with him for
two months steady" One
evening when we were to-
gether he acted queer and
said he didn't want q steady
girl. We have spent only one
evening together since. and
then we had q quarrel and
now do not speak. I am very
popular with his people, and
they tell me he talks about
me q good deal. I do not 60
out with any other young men.
Do you think I should waste
my time on him? H.B.
The young man has told you
plainly that he is not serious.
Why waste any more time on
him, trying to make him
change his mind? AS the
proverb says, There are as
good fish in the sea as ever
were caught"
Her Husband Indifferent
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
II am a married woman Of
~ and have been married for
fn,1r years. At first my huS-
band who is eight years my
senior, was very kind to me,
but the last two years he has
grown cold and seems to be
drawing further away every
day. What would you advise
me to doe. when I ask him to
take me to a dance or party?
II I ask him to 60 anywhere
with me, he will laugh and say:
"Well, go if you want to. II
you don't like it you know what
to do" Would it be all right
for me to go to dances and
parties with friends who are
also friends Of my husband,
or should I continue to live
the way I am? What can !
do to bring back that love
that my husband first had
for me? He doesn't go out
with others, I am sure. Would
I be doing wrong in going out
and trying to enjoy myself
alone? A. b.
Do you know Of anything
that could have brought about
this change in your husbands
feeling toward you? Was he
jealous, is he jealous now,
under an assumed indifference?
Are you extravagant, or does
he imagine you are? Is he
interested in someone else?
