A Suggestion From Japan.

A young Japanese, with the national
love Of cleanliness, came to London to
study. AS he was a stranger in the
city he had to select his own lodgings.
His first choice was not happy. The
hall especially was very dirty. This
the newcomer did not like, but decided
to say nothing then.
One rainy day the maidservant put
up this notice: "Please wipe your feet"
Selling his opportunity, the Japanese
student wrote underneath, "On going
oxt"-Ladies' Home Journal.
