Af/ss Professional Public Answers Letter for Beauticians

To Be A Valentine

Note: It is the policy of The Indianapolis Recorder not to publish any articles which are unsigned, however, an exception has been made to this policy and the following ia a letter to Elizabeth Brizen-tine-Taft in behalf of the beauticans who received an open letter from the John Q. Public in the Feb. 7 issue. Elizabeth Brizentine-Taft Reporter for the Recorder Indianapolis, Indiana Dear Madam;— Answer to open letter from John Q. Public: I must state this first—I am not a beautician; but I am a pro- • fessional woman and know the limitations of our facilities. When you go to a style show the models there are not undressed and the designer does not have cutters, fitters or a person there showing you how these different dresses were made up. Nor do you walk around them and ask them questions. Instead “you sit patiently apd quietly and listen to what the commentator has ' to say. Every woman knows deep down inside what her best points are. The bad ones are supposed to be kept secret, therefore the separate booths for clothes, etc. It is definitely understood that the commentator was not a professional beautician and that she was standing quite a distance away. When you have a public affair you cannot tell the half drunks to stay away. I was sitting in the back and was surrounded by half drunk men who must be heard and seen. You know you have very limited facilities. So why complain about the best you and your leaders have done? Your Mr. Public can alter this by being persistent. After all the beauticians had no say as to where or when they merely answered a call for help for your needy crippled children, not theirs. They were Angels of Mercy there and should be given credit. A reporter does not tell you how to combine words . to make a “go column.” That’s his line of work, after all, he took journalism in order to help him. Why should he give you something free while he paid $300.00 to learn it? * The same things is true about a doctor. You do not ask him to make a thermometer or a “thing he takes your heart beat with” in order to tell you what is- wrong with you and why it is wrong. Nor do you ask him to do a public operation in order that you may know what he is going to do when he does yours. Why give you that knowledge free when he paid almost $5000.00 for it. You understand all of that and take it for granted. Then why demand so much from a beautician? She spent from $175.00 to $300.00 lor her course; so why give you the fundamentals free? Or pray tell Miss Reporter, are you trying to seek information for your favorite operator? After all the beauticians were asked to hold a “hair-style show” and not a demonstration of a beauticians work. Are you afraid to publish this reflection on your work, eh ? * j f MISS PROFESSIONAL PUBLIC.
