A HOTEL MANICURE.

Ihe management of the Wolcott Hotel in Now York (says the Argonaut) have taken a step that ought to lind imitators all over the world. Here is an an' nounoement that has been issued to all their employees who conic into contact with guests : — "Beginning on this date every employee of the Wolcott who comes in contact with the guests of the hotel will report daily to Miss Cora M." Parker, the official manicure, to have his or her finger nails clipped, cleaned, polished, and filed. "This order is mandatory, and no excusa will be accepted for disobedience except illness or other excuse which the management shall deem to be reasonable. [ "A room, nas been provided for the [ manicure n^ar the waiters' dressingroom, and she will be on duty from 8.30 a.m. until 5 p.m. "No charge will be made for the service, which tends to promote cleanliness and Avhich will appeal to the guests of the hotel. There is no reason why th^ finger nails should not receive the same attention as the hands." The days have gone by when waiters could be identified anthropometrically by their thumb prints on the edge of the soup plates, but there is still room for improvement, lots of room, and the popularity of the Wolcott Hotel should be increased by this laudable move.
