rors. Imagine, il your fancy can con-
veniently grasp 1t, fifty washerwomen
on q strikel Behold them with arms
akimbo and heads awry, laying down
the law and gospel to the boss OF that
shirt factory, and then confess, as we

is soon told. Those four male washer
women, who had attempted to oust wo-
man from her sphere, discovered their
mistake. They stood their shirt-boards
up in the corner. folded their ironing
blankets and silently stole away, fully
convinced that man can not undertake
the ironing business in this country
without having too many irons in the fire.
