4 Fine Chance For Cookbook
ing Man.

A recent issue of the Anazawa-
Shembuno, one of the leading news
papers of Toxic, Japan, contained
the following advertisement;
l am pretty woman. My luxu-
RANT, curly hair envelops me like a
cloud. My figure is as slender as
the branch of willow tree and my
body just as supple. Ny face is
smooth and shining like the satin
sheen of flowers. l am a widow and
sufficiently wealthy to walk hand in
hand through life with husband.
If I should find good-looking,
pleasant, intelligent and we'll educat-
ed lord and master, who also possess
ses good taste, then would be ready
to unite myself with him for life and
share the pleasure of enjoying with
him the eternal rest offered by a
tomb made of red marble.
If the Engllshman who advertised,
few days ago, for q rich American
wife has no insurmonntable race
prejudices it may pay him to COM
municate with this lady. We have
no desire to argue that Japanese
widow, even though she may possess
form as slender as the branch of a
willow tree and a face as smooth and
shining as the satin sheen of flowers,
can be anywhere near as lovely as a
fair specimen of American woman
hood. But the chance To enjoy
eternal rest in a tomb Of red marble
ought to attract even the most fas-
tidious.
1t is to be hoped that the lady's
desires may speedily be filed
