Show peculiarity of japanese wom n did you ever see a woman shaving herself 9 asked a traveling man well it its s a funny sight but you must go all the way to japan to wit ness it tor for the japanese are the only people in the world whose women shave they have a certain day in the week weel 1 I think it Is friday for this operation they use no lather but warm water alone and they shave not only the face and neck but the forehead also they are very quick and get through the whole process in a minute or two nor Is it strange that they are quick for they have no more hair on their faces than any other women shaving with them Is in fact a mere matter of form a religious ceremony and not a thing of necessity but in some cases this constant shaving develops bearda beards in old japanese women and then they must ply the razor to some purpose the habit never though causes a growth upon the forehead and yet the foreheads of japanese women tomen are shaved weekly from their girlhood till their death |
