Politeness, Respect and Cleanliness
Sir, —I will be obliged if you will publish this further answer to “Strewelpeter’s” letter of January 5. The further he goes the more he seems to disclose his type of humanity. Having, had. experience of his friends of “Tientsin” ami “Berlin,” including other foreigners, as barbers or hairdressers, working beside them and/having employed them for years in London and Glasgow, I would like to say to “Strewelpeter” again that he can get his hair cut in Wellington with the necessary politeness, respect and cleanliness. But if he wants the superfluous, bowing, knee-bending, crawling, hypocritical affectation, then for goodness sake let him go back to Berlin. The British and New Zealand barbers are tradesmen in the eyes cf their, own countries. I have a saloon in Wellington, and I don’t car if “Strewelpeter” never gets his hair cut in it, in case he would disturb the peace, cleanliness and goodwill toward men that has for years existed in it. —I am, etc., J.R. Wellington, January 7. LETTERS
