WASHING DAY MUST BE ABOLISHED -
| Though the horrid men may hold tighter than
their purse strings and boot at the idea of
a Public Laundry, the poor oppressed woman
kind of this city rise up and call us blessed"
for our efforts in their behalf and we have even
heard vague rumors Of movement on foot
among them TO present US with handsome testi-
Inonial, and also to reserve a place in the first
Laundry for Tablet to memory and to do
our washing free. It is satisfactory to have the
ladies on our side, and if they have made up
their mind to be rid Of those intolerable nuisan-
ces, washing day" and washerwoman, the bat
tie is half won. Just think Of it, ladies; think
of the calm, sweet, christian state of mind, when
you could see the washing go into the Laundry
wagon, knowing certainly that it would return
nicely done up and no pieces missing, by Sat
urd&y night, and then to be forever rid of those
cormorants, who not satisfied with insulting you
miserable. also charge you for Is months for one
