pe ee ae ee 38 - Sunday, September 30, 1990 - North Shore News L IFESTYLES New housekeeper is worth the miserable $80 DEAR MISS MANNERS — I hired a woman I know, who lives down the street from us, to clean house. She came by the evening before she started, and we went over what to clean and what to leave. The following day she cleaned and did an excellent job, or so we felt at the time. Judith Martin fe MISS MANNERS The next morning, my husband was having a shower and soticed that our shower door was all Streaky. It seems she cleaned the door, which is specially treated, with some kind of new cleaner that ate away the frosted stripes on the inside. I was devastated. That was our new bathroom, which we kad just completed. She had told me that she cleaned (we other bathrooms with the same shower unit, so I trusted that she knew what she was doing. Unusal courses offered From page 37 Deshaies who works as a singer, artist and now part-time drawing teacher. But probably one of the more interesting programs being offered is one taught by Van Luven himself. In fact, Van Luven doesn’t even call it a course. Next July he plans to take about 20 interested people down to Baja, California, to witness a total solar eclipse. He says the California desert will be one of the best places in the world to view the total solar eclipse. If you want to see a total solar eclipse, then this might be the time to go since the event only occurs once every 360 years. If that doesn’t turn your crank, how about getting into show business? Vancouver talent agents Dot Bristow and Nanci Trenholme are teaching the course Acting for Film and Television, which is geared towards actors who want to fine-tune their acting skills. “There’s a great demand for it,’? says Bristow. ‘‘We believe a lot of people need to fine-tune their skills as actors. The industry here is very busy right now.’ Have you ever been to a fancy testaurant with friends you wanted to impress by ordering a fine bottle of wine only to end up being embarrassed by ordering a jug of Port Moody imported Mountain Red? Well then, Paul Warwick's Wine Appreciation course is for you. His course will teach how to pick good red and white wines, how to hold a wine glass and how to set up a wine cellar. It'll teach you things you probably didn’: know about wine. For instance, think wine is Wrong. ‘People treat wine as alcohol and it is not. Wine is a food,” says Warwick. ‘The country with the most consumption of wine has the least amount of heart disease. I try to teach people to respect wine and not abuse it.’’ And those are only a few of the many different courses being of- fered this year at Capilano Col- lege. you probably alcohol, right? + SCHOOL TRUSTEE | __N.

Monitoring the cost of goods and seivices. I called and explained the prob- lem, and she was nice about it and said she would pay to have a new piece of glass pul in. She wanted to pay for all of it, but knowing that it would probably be around $80, I decided to pay half, even though [ don't feel it was my fault. Her fee for the day was $35, and she insisted that I put it toward the piece of glass. Should I send her the $35? Should I ex- pect her to pay half or should I foot the bill myself? My husband was upset with me, as he didn't feel I should have told her. Her husband won’t let her clean for me anymore. To complicate things, her mother is my dressmaker (and one [ treasure), and I am afraid there will be hard feelings. GENTLE READER — If someone offered you a reasonable cleaning woman, a dressmaker and an approving husband, all for an $80 finder’s fee, would you ac- cept? That is the offer Miss Man- ners is making you, provided you tura over $35 to the cleaning woman, along with a note of ap- preciation for her offer and for employment is that employers do not have the perspective common in other businesses, where the possibility of a reasonable mistake, especially in a new employee, is built into the situa- uion. You do not want a slapdash cleaning person who treats break- age lightly. But a competent per- son such as you describe should graciously be allowed a mistake or Iwo. Feeling incorrect? Address your etiquetie questions (in black or blue-black ink on white writing Paper) to Miss Manners, in care of the North Shore News. the quill shortage prevents Miss Man- the work she did. One of the trials of domestic ners from answering questions other than through this column.
