MANICURISTS: All barber shops and hotels. Some want their nails filed,
others just like to sit and talk to the cute ones. But why is it any
different here than in your own home town, where lonesome bucks always
go first for the finger mechanics?

MASSEURS: Some people go to masseurs to be massaged and some masseurs
massage, but some use the title to cover an older going-over. Sorry,
you'll have to find them yourself. We don't ache enough for a massage.

MIDWIFES: If you're in that condition, don't come to New York. If
you do come, get a doctor. But if you're old-fashioned and demand a
midwife, you'll find some in the Classified phone directory.

PALMISTS: They're against the law, but Diana, LO 5-4530 is a "hand
analyst."

like to entertain and want to do it big, call Service Delicatessen, BU
