my recipe for the care OF the com

On rising, massage the face eight

After the shampoo, once a week, |
use camomile lotion, rubbing it in

The hands should be kept smooth

ment OF the university made strong
plea for unionism among housewives

to protect women from INSCRIPTIONS

in regard to labor, food and textile
problems. Speaking Of labor problems
Miss Marlatt stated that the standard
of wages for labor should be eff

on the maxim that no woman should
order household in such way as to
enslave any human being. Miss Mar
latt pointed out the fact that the de-

the housewife to do her own work.
