Nail Biting
Dear Miss Grey: I have a nor
rible habit OF biting my finger
nails. I just can't quit. although
I have tried putting bitter oint'
ments on them. What can I do I!
Miserable.
Well. for one thing. you bite
your nails because you are wor-
ried. Any psychologist will tell
you that and 1t will take you
and the help OF some doctor to
trace that trouble.
Further. you bite your nails
because you keep them In
rough state. A rough nail al
ways tempts exploring teeth.
II you make 1t point TO
keep your nails smoothly filed
no matter how much you have
bitten them. you will find your
self less tempted to bite them.

When Out With An Insister, let
Him Pay 10 Avoid Awkwardness
Let me pay" NO, ! want
to pay Il insist on paying"
are all heard in public places
everywhere. These questions Of
payment are always made awk-
ward by people who keep insisting
upon taking no refusal. The fol-
lowing letter describes this awk-
wardness very well:
The other evening two women
friends stopped at our house and
drove my husband and our guest
and myself to the movies. In a
telephone conversation with one
of these friends earlier In the day
she learned that we, too, intended
to go to this picture. and so she
offered to stop by for us. My
husband bought the tickets at the
theater and later these two women
insisted that he take the money
for their tickets. He refused and
we thought the matter closed. But
sometime after they had gone we
found the money on the hall ia
BILE"
In this particular case 1t Is
easy to understand that the two
outsiders felt they had been
forced into an obligation, and
when they made 1t plain that they
wanted To be allowed to pay their
own way, the husband should have
taken the money. In fact, the
only thing to do in any case when
you find yourself out with an in
sister IL to say Very we'll
thank you" and let that end 1t.
Private Life sub~erviept to
Business
Dear Mrs. Post: One of the
young women In this office has in
my opinion behaved very curious
ly. A little while ago her mother
in-law died and between that day
and the day OF the funeral she
came to business all the time. She
stayed away only on the day OF
the funeral. i thought this very
disrespectful especially since the
mother-in-law had lived right on
her same street.
Answer: The old stage saying
that "the play must go on" is
equally true OF all professions. II
the daughter-in-law would have
Inconvenience no one by staying
away, then of course / agree with
you. But to have stayed away
and let some one else do her work
would have been to consider her
own feelings at unfair expense to
whoever had to take over her
part. II business woman loses
her husband, or her own mother,
or other member OF her immediate
family, even then she sometimes
has to go on as normally as pos
sible. although there would be far
greater excuse for her failure to
put consideration for others above
her own feelings. Had this daugh-
ter-in-law gone about amusing
herself. that would have been a
very different situation.
Polite Serving Manners
Dear Mrs. Post: Do you think
1t sounds polite for a waitress
to say Coffee ?" and nothing else
when offering more coffee? I
think 1t sounds too abrupt but I
have been told to say this.
Answer: 1t is much more po-
lite to say Coffee. Madam ?" Tor

dam ?" Tor sir). THE use OF
