although here lately things have been moving
along pretty rapidly
1t is warm weather now. You have refrigerator
in which YOU keep butter and milk and meat and
other creature comforts. The icernan comes and
slams in the tcn-cent chunk Ice in summer is
a great convenience. The butter comes on the
table nice and solid instead of being COB of yellow
grease. But YOU have 10 consider more than that.
Where would you get your fresh meat otherwiset
You could choose between eating beef that hadn't
got done baWling when YOU put II on the fire, and
was tough sole leather, or beef that But we'll
not 60 into that. Not to eXpatlatc too much, what
would love courtship. and marriage be without
the soda fountain and the ice cream parlor. nsti-
tutions absolutely dependent the ICE supply?
Look all the fruits and vegetables that You have
that come from far, away in advance OF the brief
local season, away after the local season. And 1t
ism only diversified diet and comfort and luxury,
il IS life and death. What would become of all the
bottle babies if the milk they drink came Jogging
down from the country without ever being chilled!
Think OF all the sick folk burning up with fever.
Just that item of ice in summer makes this a
far different world from the one that Washington
and Hamilton and Jefferson and al the rest OF them
took up 50 much room III.
New-York tribune., 1907-06-09

She made everything else without the help of tissue
paper patterns. without sewing machine, all by
hand, every stitch. She probably wovc the linen
and blcached it, and spun every thread ot It,-you
have seen "a spinning wheel no doubt.-aud hacked
the flax. The women must have been made out of
iron in those DAYS, to work rs hard they did ana
raise a family OF ten or fifteen children into the
bargain.
1t was regular slaves life, vou say. So it was
\ wife WAS practically a slave, and there was no
other way for respectable woman to make a living
except to marry. The way it is now, If your nus
band wants sell piece OF property. he must get
your signature to the deed; but he hasn't word
to say when it comes to your d,posiug of your
property. What his is yours, and what is Yours
is your own, madam. But it was just the other way
round with the Colonial dame And perhaps that
docsn t make a different world The Fathers OF the
Constitution might have thought differently about
Womans Rights if they We're alive to-day.
George Washington was the richest man in the
country He the John ID. Rockefeller OF his
day; but he too poor to buy a boN of matches
He too poor to buy glass lamp chimney. He
couldn't afford to have gas III his house, let alone
electric lights, battery under the cellar steps
that rung the front door bell. In those days, II
you wanted To read at night, you got right close
to the candle or a saucer of lard with rag hanging
over the edge, YOU saved up chips and pine
knots, and put them the open fire. lying down
the floor IN front of 1t, and cooked the top OF
your head while you pored over the page printed
on an old hand press, page as rough as a nutmeg
CRATER. And what was there to readI Not daily
newspaper in the country, and what Weeklies there
were you wouldn't call newspapers at all. Not
novel. There volumes of sermons and such
and if YOU were reckless and abandoned and dIdn
what became of YOU, there were plays to read.
which were Just a shade dulcr than the sermons
If you were lucky well as reckless, you might get
a chance two three times in your life to see
play performed without scenery, with talloW candle
footlghts, Hamlet, for example, costumed like
British ARMY officer.

1914 was a horn invented upon which 1t was possl

There Are No Flies on Us
WIIIEN the Continental Congress was in session in

VvIIIEN the Continental Congress was in session in
wv Philadelphia a hundred and thirty years ago,
at this season Of the year, when they didn't have
screens, the flies bit viciously through their thin
silk stockings. and they brought in typhoid and
cholera and what not. The screens keep out mos
quitoes too. In the DAYS of the Continental Con-

summer. Some credit for present exemption
must be due to window screens, even admitting

carry every drop she washed with, having to rub
out everything between her hands, or battle 1t,
pounding the clothes with big stick. There were
wash boards or clothes WrngerS, or clothes lines,
clothes pins or bars of laundry soap, washing
powders. That battling of the clothes must have
been rough buttons and in those days there we're
shirt buttons that could be removed; they were
