number of INDECENT elderly women are
kept busy all the time working at |
their homes if preferred, or they will
go out to the homes of their patrons, |
There are other side issues to this
work but the mending is the main |
thing and many men take advantage
of the convenience"
If there were women or girls in To-
peka who would be willing to earn a
little extra money by darning and
mending for busy business women, as
well as for men, they probably would
be kept busy all the time.
I know a woman who all this past
Lent wouldn't play a game of cards to
save her life but she would rip a
neighbor up the back and not leave
her a thread of a reputation to go
upon.
I know another woman who es-
chewedsecandy and ate pounds and
pounds of lump sugar. NI
Still another who gave UP desserts
and sweets between meals but per-
count.
Another one who said she would
drop 10 cents in charity box every
time she said damn-and she never
said it once.-Betty Ann in the *.
