Several barber schools even offer courses in the psychology anc art of barber-chair conversation. Students are urged to increase their vocabulary and the daily newspaper is required reading.

With all the emphasis on the how-to of conversational rapport barbers have not overlooked the how-not-to side. One Mason City barber estimates that at least 6 per cent of his customers prefe just to sit and relax. About Not Talking He hasn't drawn up. any regula tions in writing, but he notes tha his barbers, and probably mos others, follow a set of rules abou not talking that goes somethin like this: (1) Never continue a conversa tion with a customer who grunts reply. Never start a conversatio with a "shut-eye," the who sighs and closes his 'eyes th minute he flops in the chair.

(3) Never give a short answe man a third chance. (You give him a second on the theory that mayb he didn't like the first topic.) Of all the barbers interviewed only one recalled an instance when a customer told a barber: "Shu: up!" Even the other customers were stunned to silence. The barber involved, however, didn't see what the ghost of Archelaus had tc do with it. He thought it was jus a case of hangover. 0 A ion new City Cha to 1 add will poif dur qua cas Ma lan for a i all the fnr IU1 dei one H.
