One Way for Women to Earn Money

One of the least expensive and
easiest ways OF earning a living for
a woman to adopt is that of dyeing.
In small towns where people have
no city facilities il is a paying invest
ment to start a dyeing establishment
says the Chicago News
It's wonderful how many old
gowns. coats, odds and ends, and
even carpet rags every housekeeper
has that she wishes dyed. one of the
principal advantages of this sort Of
work is the small Investment that Is
required 10 be made Several ten
cent packages of dye Of staple, colors
are all she needs to start with.
After one gets accustomed to the
work it is fascinating as well as
profitable.

with desire that they might meet
again Friday evening, a lecture by
DIR. Herbert of Chicago, on "A man

people do not attend such lectures when
such literary treats come so seldom.

ment was given by the high school.
Because of the lecture by Mrs. Sill
baugh it did not begin until $50. The
first thing was a drill by some of the
young ladies of town, and as it was
backward it caused much merr1ment.
Then came the Halloween play THE
Haunted House, by the students. 1t
was light comedy, but the parts We're
well rendered and the play much en-
joyed by all. Between the acts there
were solos by Iva Chandler and Ora
Abbott. Both received hearty applause,
showing the Ontario peoples apprecia-
ton of good music. After the play many
of the people stayed for a good time,
and then refreshments were served
which consisted of coffee, sandwiches
and pumpkin pie.
