" It la certainly a curious fact that Invention, which has
done 110 much for man' work all along the line, baa done
ae little for that of women. Of course. It has done some
thing. The housewife was able to mention several labor

pared with the myriads of Inventions that have corns to the

Of this invention. Woman would be given more time. It is
doubtful If the human race can buy any more valuable
