WOMEN AND WATCHWORX.—Mrs. GrUtiu.7 „
would doubtless turn up her nose at intelligent and edn-
cated Englishwomen directing their attention to a mach".
nical nical trade, forgetting that shirt-making also is a inecu'h-
nical trade, and that the needle and thimble are as roe:
tools as the fine implements used in watchmaking; ruti:
and much coarser tools too. In Switzerland 20,000 ivol:%;
in this trade earn on an average 15s. a week, which go"
far in their country as double that sum would in London.
Here, then, is an occupation that, to intelligent womf!lif
would prove a perfect mine of wealth, and most heartily:
we trust that Mr. Bennett will be successful in his atterail
to .open it to the intelligence of women. It is in vain dr..
we sing the Song of the Shirt and get up annual subscrlP_
tions for down-stricken sempstresses. It is in vain that tie
°
hold midnight tea meetings to tempt Lorettes from tho_
evil courses; as long as we shut young women out fr
honourable means of employment, so long will their bibT"",
be a drug in the market, and their degradation but
facile a matter to the tempter.—Once a Wick.
