presented, and you buy a half dozen
of these cheap skirts and congratu-
late yourself on the low price you
have paid, and you tell your neighbor

other skirt as long as you both shall
live!
You a buy them at the cost ofthe
material and you get the work for
! nothing.

the weary, priclSed fingers and the
throbbing brain of the seamstresl

like to work ten or fifteen hours TO
money enough to keep soul and bod.
