tlat something is | will mention one case out
o; many in this city, and ask them what she
do to support herself and children honorabiy,
aside from sewing. A poor, feeble widow with
three small children to support earns all that she
gets TO feed and clothe them with by walking
one mile to get her work She works for large
wholesale house, makes vests at 40 cents apiece,
and besides attending TO her little ones, manages
to make day. 1t has been ascertaned that
she allows herself but one meal day, and her
children often cry for bread Nov tell us what
other fields are open for them that will pay bet
ter than sewing, and what is TO be done for such
cases. \ WIDOWS FRIEND.
