like the stunning little motor creation
a picture of which l am inclosing in
this screed? One might almost imagine
that it had been designed to illustrate

Morris, made when she ectured here
In New York last winter that we owe

who have to do sweeping and must
either wear caps or have their hair
filed with dust Possibly the learned
scientists can tell us why sweeping is
less injurious than motoring.
