WOMEN AND WATCIIWORM.—Mrs. Grundy
would doubtless turn up her nose at intelligent and edli
cated Englishwomen directing their attention to a niece
nical trade, forge fling that shirt-making also is a mews,
nical trade, and that the needle and thimble are as nosh
tools as the fine implements used in watchmaking; ii3"ti,
and much coarser tools too. In Switzerland 20,000 wooer
in this trade earn on an average 15s. a week, which goes
far in their country as double that sum would in LondoW'
Here, then, is an occupation that, to intelligent wornell'
would prove a perfect mine of wealth, and most heartig
we trust that M r. Bennett will be successful in his attenlPl
to open it to the intelligence of women. It is in vain dui,
we sing the Son.g of the Shirt and get up annual subscrilo_
tions for down-r a ricken sempstresses. It is in vain that N‘r,.!
hold midnight 1;(.A meetings to tempt Lorettes from thel!
evil eourses; as long as we shut young women out fro!!
honourable means of employment, so long will their labo
ttll
be a drug in the market, and their degradation but o'
facile a matter t.O. the tempter.—Once a Week.
