Requests Loan of Machine.

am expecting to give birth to my third
child before long and would much like to
have sewing machine. As our clrcum-
stances will not permit me to buy one, I
write to ask IL any Cornerite has one she
no longer uses and which she would be
willing to give to LIE in exchange for pl: in
sewing. I would only ask the use of the
machine for q month and hope there Is
some one who can grant my wish.
MRS. c.
This seems moderate request and have
little question that there will be some one Of
our Cornerites who will be glad to let Mrs.
G. have the use OF a sewing machine for a
month in exchange for plain sewing.
