LADIES WHO SHAVE.
A Female Barber Who Uses u Thread
Instead OF Razor
From the New York Juurnal


From the New York Journal.
A novel phase of social life came to
the notice of Journal reporter yester-
day, the details of which will afford
considerable interest and possible some
profit to ladies who are troubled with
hirsute appendages. Through the cour-
tesy of an acquaintance an introduction
was given the reporter to Signora Hell
en- Georgeides, female barber, who
shaves without razor. She resides on
the first story of 112 Hester street. The
signora Is a buxom-looking brunette,
with pleasant features, and apparently
40 years of age. She has two handsome
looking boys, one OF whom acted as liz
terpreter.
'My mother il q nativesof Smyrara,
Asia Minor" one of these said in very
good English.
"Can you describe the process?"
Certainly; but pny mother does not
use any raZors, and she confines her at
tentions exclusively to ladies. She uses
thread instead of a razor, and the pro-
cess is not only more speedy, but more
satisfactory"
"Does the lady object to giving ME
an Illustration of her skill?"
After some coaxing the feminine
professor consented. Taking the re-
porter iato another room, he ives re-
quested to bare his arm. Taking a
strong linen thread, she placed one
end between her teeth, and with q pc
culiar see saw motion with both hands
she applied the thread quickly up
and down the arm, the hair being
caught up by what appeared to be a
small slip-knot in the center of
the thread. This motion was con-
tinued for several seconds with re-
markable results, the hairs being
quickly removed by the process.
"Of course you will understand -
continued her interpreter, "that my
mother does not pretend to shave gen
tlemen; their boards woald be too
hard and rough; but she has been very
successful with ladies, and has quite a
large number of customers who visit
her regularly"
Chow long does it take to efectually
remove lady's mustache?'
well, a brunette will get shaved by
her process once a month, blondes
once in three weeks. Very much de-

the beard or mustache, as the case
may be- The first stage is to anoint
the skin we'll with an ointment, the
preparation of which is secret. The
idea is to soften the skin thoroughly
SO that the hairs may be removed
without causing discomfort to the pa.

"After the skin has been well satu
rated with the ointment, the hairs come
out very easily, and the preparation
checks their growth for some weeks
"Do you find many ladies who are
afflicted with beard and mustache ?"
"Oh, yes. There are dozens of then

That blends beneath our earnest gaze

Sarcastic blend Unmarried, Died.
