Something For the Women

There are fertile brains at work
we are told, perfecting electric
manikins that will relieve the
house keeper of practically all
work ordinarily done by hand. No
more will life lose it's SAVIOR be-
cause of the drudgery of dish
washing or the bubbles of joy be-
come stale because of the burden
of cleaning, washing and ironing,
or the nervous system become
frazzled at the thought of inter
minable cooking and serving.
Your little electric manikin, who
will be a perfect uncomplaining
mechanical Bridget or Lily Jane
will do all that and will make
domestic life one grand sweet
round of pleasure, with no neces-
sity for expenditure of energy ex-
cept what the heart of the lady
boss desires.
"Speed the day!" is the hope of
the long suffering, down trodden
female woman who has kept the
wheels of the household machin-
cry creased by the sweat of her
over-heated brow for centuries
agone. Give us surcease from
household cares so that we shall
have more time to devote to the
regulation of world affairs, re-
form, tatting and crocheting and
showing mere man the error of
his ways!
While it seems beyond possibil-
ity of accomplishment that the
tasks which have furrowed the
brow of feminity since time i'm
memorial, shall be done with no
other exertion than pressing
button, yet it is altogether prob
able. The improbable is constant
ly happening and the housekeep-
er's millennium is surely coming.
However there's always a fly in
the ointment. How will the women
raise the price. Where there's a
will there's way. Let those who
do not have the price buy on credit
and then those who are fortunate
to have corpulent purse or pay
envelope, can make up the deficit
by paying a price which will cover
the losses caused by the dead
heads. 1t will be great life; if
you can stay in until the finish.

N URlNG the course of the past

especially anxious as her feet were
white and pink tinted, smooth and

Undoubtedly, so long as none Of

the weeks spent running about so
would improve their health. But it
would not improve their feet, for no
