In Japan the higher class women, says
Woman's Home Companion, never go to
market; the market comes to them. That
is, the dealers call and offer wares for
sale at their customers doors. The fish
merchant brings his stock and IL any is
sold prepares 1t for cooking. The green
grocer, the sake dealer and nowadays
the meat man all go to their patrons
houses.

own clothes; at all events, even the very
richest embroider their garments them
