society for women u well as men. If for this valuable
future may, the Dorset Friendly Society is one which we
"would not willingly let die ;" and it has been suggested
to me that the society should employ men on commission
to proclaim its edvantages and gai.r members in. One
or two great societies may be named as having Knitted
very much by this plan of proceeding. The gentlemen who
back up the D.C.F.& are the last to forget that "the
labourer is worthy of his hire," and! call their attention to
the consideration that, unless the society not only holds its
own but gob s an increased share of business in proportion
to the luenoto of the WOmlation, it will actually be going
back. Meanwhile I commend to the ladies of Dorset, of
every class, the D.C.F.S., as a first-rate society for the
female us, leaving other friends to proclaim its
alvantsges for men.
