Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 254, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1918 — Ladies Shave in Japan. [ARTICLE]

Ladies Shave in Japan.

There are many things the Japanese do differently from ourselves. For Instance, ladles sit with-their hands folded palms upward in Japan. They all shave. They never brush thefr hair, but only comb it. For the English “a thimbleful” the Japanese speak of “a sparrow’s tear,” and instead of talking of putting a thing on the fire to cook, the Japanese speak of putting the fire through it A man* never wishes his wife good morning first—a truly oriental touch. She greets him and he replies. A woman never speaks of her husband as such. She speaks of “the house.”
