MARRIED WOMEN DOING THEIR OWN DRESS

10 the Editor of 1'hs Chicago Tribune:
Sin: There have beon lottora recently In thu
Sunday papers, containing statements to the
eHoct that the low wages paid to sowing-women
arc duo to the fact that so many married women
do thelr own millinery md dressmaking, Now,
l, Tor ono, am young married woman with
husband on a small salary. and I positively eau
not anord to pay workwoman to do my sewing,
howcvor much may desire to do ao eithor from
a phianthroplo Or aeldHh point OF view. I am
s11re there are many similarly situated Who will
agree with mo that 1t ia not pleasant task to
undertake both the conception, aud the en-
tire procoss Of making and bringing out In
its completeness. a full-tledged modern Co.'S
tune. / am sure had rather put tho
uao OF my brain to different PURPOSES, and
would prcfor to spend my days If stitching, and
consequent backhcho, In other employnlenta loss
trksomo; but. aH have not tho menus to do
otherwise, put my ahouldor to tho wleol aud
90 tho ocst Gun; and If, by industry mud abll-
lty, my clothing will pa8a muster with that Of a
professional workwoman, I think I ought to be
encouraged, instead Of being mado to feel that
am taking bread out Of tho mouth Of some one
Of my sisters, whoAa lifo Lepeuua on such labor,
Every woman should f,e self-holpful, whother
aho iRa 9 husband or not; and, Ia many cases,
the necessity Of doug for horHelf has not only
developed, but created, oapabilitioH before
wholly unHuepoctod, and which, without BONE
spur, would mover Aayo been brought to light,
Az for mo, I hopo those who are Interested will
do Ill they can for tho benefit Of the Horkin0-
women. and will increase the ratio Of pay to t(loir
own satisfaction. l..

Tho suggestion ia mnde in Joking ray, no
doubt, but, without ontoring into any discussion

THE UNION PARK EXTENSION,

A nearly successfui effort Was made at bIor-
-xay's meeting of the Common Council to pass
N order for tho purchase OF tile triangular piece
4 ground adjacent to Uniou Park to bo merged
in the park grounds 1t is matter Of surprise
That certain Aldermen showed considerable anx-
lety to put through this measure, but, as was
Aiuted BY au opponent Of the scheme, it Is not
only IN addition. but oven dylHion-and-
silence project which is contemplnted-a kind
Of project familiar to students of procedures a
Ia Tweed l. Co.
Tho piece Of ground has an urea Of about one
acre and half, and for this the city is asked to
pay 9268, 1000! Tho real value Of this undosira-
bic addition Is sot down by competent judges az
THE SECRET OF T1rE SCHEME
appears to be this: Samuel J. Malker, the roal-
ostato man, III tho principal owner Of tho prop
erty. lie owes tho Second National Bank, which
and tho bank III indebted to Dnvid 4. Gaga,
tho defnultlug City Treasurer, in the Same
amount. Now, should the city purchase this
land, Mr. Walker will 10 enabled to pay OF his
dobt to Gago. which would bo secured to tho
city. Thua the movement iB altogether in the
interest Of Gage, whose case it is sought to ill.,
tluence.
The passage Of tho order to purchase w.s de-
featod through
1AoK OF TWO VOTES,
tho requisite number boiug twonty-ono. And,
Bttnugo to say, these two votes wore not onlyun-
deratood to be pledged, but thor owners lobbiod
in behalf tho measure. Aid. Jonas,
to tho astonishment Of hia friends, left
tho chamber twenty minutes before tho
question reached, and AID. Richardson, aftor
strongly advocating its adoption, picked up Ills
hat aud departed, to the sllasrin Of tho support
ers Of the measure. Thus tho requisite vote
waa wanting. AID. Cuilerton, Hildroth, and
Woodu1au were also prominent advocates Of tho
purchase. Mr.. Woodman was formerly in cloHo
business relations with 1lr. Gage. and no doubt
was actuated in his course BY friendship for hts
unfortunate friend. But. while this demonstra-
tion Of regard would cost Aid. Woodman nothing,
it would be rather dear to the City Of Chicago,
whs!, VI M would be mulcted thereby in the sum OF
THE NORTH BrDE BOYS.
1t was remarkable that all the North Siio Al
hermen voted for the pnscluae. Tint Fullerton
svonue conduit docs curiouaiT affect municipal
matters, and thero may be a cIosor connection
between this proposed park addition and tho con-
ttl!t than ordinary mortals dream Of.
Another attempt wll he mado at an carly dato
TO get th!B matter through, aud in tho lncantime
careful roiioctlon upon tho foregoing state
ment may bo beneficial to tho members Of tho
