into them. Laws have been passed against those
nuiances but the laws not executed and for any
practical good effected, there might as well have been

there's attention paid to the sweeping the streets
and the consequence is, that female population
cannot 90 out without destroying their dresses and
wetting their feet to the danger Of their health and
lives Any citizen Of New York who has been In
Lopdon with it's two millions of inhabitants asd seen
the way in which the streets kept there have
been struck with the contrast. There Q lady will

great thore ugbfares Here she cannot out Of the
door, unless straight into carriage without covering
doubt this is Why the ladies Of this city
stay much indoors to the injury Of their health and
,uppy those which sun and the pure air OF
Heaven would have naturally produced. Ladies either
do not go out NJ AL or they crowd into and
carriages, and might as we'll almest have remained

our part persuaded that the want Of sufficient
