Our lady readers can hardly fail to have their attention called this week to the latest combination of improvements in that most useful of all domestic i'm plements, the sewing machine"
 As We understand it, q machine for family use should meet first of all these requirements: It should be simple in its mechanism; 1t should run easily; it should do wide range of work; it should be as nearly nOiseless as pOssi- ble it should be light, handsome, dura- ble, and as cheap is consistent with excellence throughout.
 These conditions the "Light-RunniEg New Home" certainly meets. It has also several very important and useful attachments and notions of it's own, which go far to make good it's claims to popular favor.
 The "New Home" specially recom- mends itself to purchasers on account of ts superior mechanical construction, ease of management and reasonable prlce. Over half million have been sold in the last three years, all of which are giving universal satisfaction. This unrlvalled machine is manufactured by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE CO, Orange, Mass, and 30 Union Square, New York.
