EFFICIENCY OF THE WOMAN.

No matter how useful labor-sav-

doesn't know how to work so that
she can get the most out Of that
tool, the value of the device is les

much emphasis on the tool and too
little emphasis on themselves. If the
woman is inefficient how can she use
tool except in an inefficient way?
