clothing is no problem for the busy
mother, because manufacturers are
making it for them. With specialists
to design it, machines to make it, and
limitless variety of goods to choose
from, the advantage is all with the
manufacturers. They have turned out
clothes better designed and as well
made as the home production and at
such low prices that there is no
economy in undertaking the work at
home.

Becky Sharp was the first society

The secretary Of the Christian asso-
