capable of grinding out work with no

worker taking a rest two or three times
a day. Take up to the sewing room a

that you cannot stand the pressure and

lace gulmpes and yokes, as jabots in this

made with ordinary tea. This tea should

in the second act has attained a success
entitled TO be called a world craze. In
Mr. Savages production there are twenty

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

American women have never acquired
fame as housewives. There have been
persons who refused TO consider them III

If the charge of Indulgence is eliminated
There is no denying that children are
spoiled by lniudicious pettins and the
policy of keeping them and responsioih-
ties miles apart, but judged by the stand
ard OF love there Is no fault to be found
in the American mother as a whole.
Housekeeping is not popular on this side
of the ocean Possibly the blame might
be laid 10 lack of training In youth, but
the fact remains that the average wife
prefers the care-free life OF a boarding
house unless she can shift the burden OF
work TO the shoulders of a domestic
Honestly. | do not blame a woman for
trying TO escape any heavy burdens, but
I scarcely approve the desire 10 evade
responsibility as well. There are thou

being run at one end by maids and at
the other by the Woodworking men who
pay the bills.

devices. An occasional woman uses fire.

home making as a business to be carried
on with the greatest comfort and econ

When a tradesman frankly confesses
that his business is built upon the credulity
