:. "Good morning, Mr.. Mason; can you
tell me where / can find girl TO do house
work. My wife is sack, and / wish TO get
one for a few weeks am willing to pay
any price, ~ ,a 3.sst5st ~.
! Indeed, Mr.. Jones that's hard ques-

but they won't do housework. Neighbor
Hardpan IN the hollaw there, has half a
dozen, but don't suppose You could get

slime and again, but they won't so out"

to see if could get one of your daughters

cooked Just so-she don't even make her

troubled with terrible palpItation Of the
