TALLY, as nltsauoted' that ~orklnGmen could

subject Of wares and cheap living becomes of
Importance. Miss Corson comes into the arena
with her plain, practical common sense, and in
an unostentat;ous manner shows how poor fani-
llics may live well AMI economically. She has

cl:urc is full Of good, solid, practical sense and
is calculated to be Of the greatest service to the
class OF persons to whom it IS addressed. Fifty
