While no woman is entirely free from

be the plan of nature that women

The French manufacturers of
automobiles assert that they have no
present cause to fear American COM
petition, although they admit that the
parts of the machine can be made
cheaper here than elsewhere. Our
trouble appears to be that 'the same
care in assembling the parts is not
shown in America as in France" the
latter employing costly skilled labor
and doing by hand work what is done
here by machinery. In 1898 the num-
Der of automobiles made in France
