Something Of Importance to Those
Who Contemplate HUtnO a
SepinO Machine.

A sewing machine is now a regular
and important part of Il family outfit;
and the question, which machine to
buy, is one which every lady has to de-
eide. AS both her comfort and her
health depend on the proper decision,
the choice should be carefully consid-
cred, and judiciously made. In her Sc
lection she should be governed by the
following rules:
LIST. LAY ASIDE PREJUDICE.
Don't select machine merely be-
cause your mother or your ncighbor has
it. This is an age of improvement, and
you should avail yourself of the progress
of thought and invention, when it is in
your power.
End. Don't purchase machine be-
cause it has been along time on the
MAJ kct, and publishes a large number
of sales. Some of the machines offered
for sale. and most largely pulled, have
little merit now, and what they did
have vanishcs, when they are compared
with later and improved machines.
