The Japanese Maid.

A Japanese maid is now an absolute necessity to the society woman who desires to be strictly up to date. Prominent women in New York are all adopting the idea, and they are finding that the pretty Jap women can attend to their wants far better than the French maid, who for so long has been in such demand by the smart set. There are several reasons why the Japanese woman makes a better maid than the French, German or English woman. In the first place she is the most cleanly person on the face of the earth, and that counts for a whole lot. Then she knows how to dress the hair better than any of her sisters and she knows more little secrets which are of value in milady’s boudoir than the woman of any other nationality. General Charles Hey wood, commandant of the United States marine corps, holds the oldest commission in either branch of the fighting force. Next to him comes Admiral Dewey.
