Sometimes such painful and tedious
economies are necessary. Often they

they even cause misery. Perhaps you
remember with what pangs of wound

metamorphosed dress OF your elder

school and straightway rejected her
young country lover because his eco

following reasons:
In the first place most OF us claim
that modern dry goods has not the

those laborious economies must be
