Our lady readers can hardly

ton Of Improvements i'll that most
useful of all domestic implements,

As we understand it. a machine

of all these requirements Z; 1t

it should run easily !; it should do
a wide range OF work !; il should
he as nearly noiseless as possible
it should be light, handsome, dora-
bic, and as cheap as is consistent
with excellence throughout.
These conditions the Light,
Running New Home" certainly
meets. 1t has also several very
important and useful attachments
and EMOTIONS" Of its own, which
20 far to make good its claims to
popular favor.
The New Home" specially re-
commends itself TO purchasers on
account Of its superior mechanical
construction, case Of management
and reasonable price. Over half
q million have been sold in the
last three years, all Of which are
giving universal satisfaction. This
unrivallod machine Is manufaC-
tured by the New Home Sewing

will hardly suffice to demonstrate

that class, that it should under

that it might be induced to at
