The Manicure.
Boston Herald.

Our ladies, who are wont to extol the
superior advantages OF European cul-
ture, are just now congratulating them
selves upon the advent here of the mis-
tress of the peculiar devices of the toilet
known as the manlcure's art. To visit a
manicure is, we are told, embraced in
the regular order of things, followed by
the ladies of all the prominent foreign
cities. Consequently, it can scarcely
be wondered at that the followers of
fashion here should have welcomed the
missionary who comes to us, if for no
other reason than to place them on a
plane with their New York sisters, who
have thus far claimed the only practi-
toner of this kind the country affords.
A naturally fine hand is made more
beautiful by care, and hand not SO
greatly favored is much improved, with
out doubt, by extra attention. A visit
