Japanese family gives very little promi-

respect must go to the wife. whom he Is
taught to regard as his true mother. In
old times the veritable mother saw little

strong natural bond between them might

the lady who was the sole mistress Of the

Few busy women can afford either the
time or the money required to have their
nails attended to by a professional mani
cure, and consequently each woman should
be able to keep her own nails in perfect
condition. The stumbling block in the
way of the average woman who tries to be
her own manicure is that she Is more apt
to postpone Indefinitely this part of the
toilet during the week days, and then try
to make up for past deficiencies by taking
an hour off on Sunday. Five minutes a
day and quarter of an hour once a week
will keep ones nails in good condition
