Take q book or a newspaper or
magazine OF her own choosing
with her instead Of having to de-
pend for reading matter on what
ever the shop happens to have
handy at the moment.
Stop boring the girl who does
her hair or manicures her nails
with long -winded discussions of
home, social. business or personal
problems. It's a good idea to dis
cuss beauty problems with the
operator, but making her listen
land she has to listen politely to
personal woes only adds to her
fatigue.
Read or knit for the Red Cross
or Just sit and relax instead Of
using up a lot of conversational
energy maneuvering to find out
which neighbor dyes her hair and
which one desn't.
Refuse to try to carry on con-
versation across the room or with
friend in the next booth. The
session under the drier can be
restful. but it won't be for the
woman who insists upon talking
all the time.
Keep her hands quietly on the
arms of the chair until the fresh
coat of nail polish is really dry.
Polish allowed To dry thoroughly
stays unchipped and uncracked
longer.
Stay under the drier until the
hairdresser agrees that her hair
is dry. Unless it il completely
dry, it can't be brushed out. And
freshly set hair always should be
brushed out before the customer
leaves the shop.
Leave cream on face and throat
while her hair is drying.

What do you think. Miss Grey,
about the vocabulary of the aver

many slang phrsses-over-use of
certain words-ahsenee of colorful

best method Is to jot down AT least
two new words day and look up
their meanings. j always have a
pencil and paper beside me when
I read. JUST SALLY.

Salary Raise Instead of Diamond
Wrist Watch Best Reward,
Emily Post Still Insists
By EMILY POST


Several months ago - perhaps
some OF you may remember-an
employer wanted to give his secre-
tary valuable diamond wrist
watch in appreciation OF the help
she had been to his business dur
ing the five years she worked for
him. I answered that I thought
II would be better 70 increase her
salary and let her buy her own
watch.
Today a long letter from q
reader softens her criticism by
telling me. Il can't remember ever
having disagreed with you before"
and then adds. but this time !
think you somehow missed the
point which was his explanation
that he knew she wanted a watch
and he wanted to give her
present. I think that there might
have been an objection to the con-
spicuousness of a watch set in
diamonds. But emitting these.
why couldn't he have bought her
a good watch. had it properly en-
graved with his appreciation of
her services, and the date? Ger
tainly this would have been ten
times more gratifying to a con-
scientious employee. who had
worked hard for her employer.
than a bonus or a raise in salary.
Do you still feel that il should
have been the salary. and that the
watch would have been unsuita-
Bile
II hope you will not resent this
question which is meant in the
spirit OF continuing conversa-
ton, as would be possible If I
had the privilege of talking with
you personally"
In answer to this letter. let me
say first. I love the conversation
idea OF being asked further
question about a question. but in
reply l can only explain that all
man and woman propriety ques-
tons are difficult to answer be-
cause of the personal equation. II
seemed 10 me when l read the
mans letter that a raise in salary
was the most practical apprecia-
tion. 1t seemed to me that dia-
mond ornament gave a chance for
gossip, whereas a raise in salary
would be unquestioned reward for
work.
Perhaps had known them per-
sonally. l might have answered
If the secretary was
we'll known to his family-if they
perhaps helped him select the
watch-this would have made II
all right. l agree that the gold
watch with engraved message on
IT would have been quite proper
but did she want a gold one
Wasn't it one with diamonds in
its setting that she longed for?
In any case, so far as she was
concerned, a raise in salary was
the best answer.
But thinking of it from his side.
raise Il now realize) might have
been impossible. II. for example,
she is now getting a top salary.
he might at the moment have been
able to give her this present out
of an especial fee or contract. and
he might not feel able to add a
definite increase to his pay roll
In other words. there are many
angles. and each can somewhat
change the practicability of the
answer.
