Geisha giving entertainment

Title
Geisha giving entertainment
Description
The geisha house, rather humble, certainly unpretentious abodes, group themselves in certain quarters, and the hiring of girls is done methodically through a central office. The hiring should be accomplished by the retaurant keeper or by the housewife as early in the afternoon as possible, but not after six in the evening, unless absolutely unavoidable. For the preparation of the geisha is an elaborate affair from the wonderful coiling and adorning of her hair to the fit of her white, heelless shoes. They are taken in rickishas to the house of entertainment and carried home in the same way when all is over.
