In these pages recently, was reprinted j The Half -Price Lady.
Why pay ten cents for having your

it done for five cents? Children's
ribbons also nxadeel#ke new.
In renovating her ov-n w twirohe she
had discovered a simple mixture' that
cleaned perfectly. She used it in the
chalk form for gloves and, zn the li-
quid form for ribbons.
s Soon orders'began to come in from
people who had light gloves that soil-
' ed easily and from mother:. who must
make a. few ribbons do long service for
their little girls. They are still conn-
ing.
Tlie average number of gloves re-'
• ceived on week days, except Saturday
is fifteen pairs, and on Saturday aa;
many as sixty pairs, As the material
Iused costs this girl only two cents for
, a pair, sire clears, more than four dot-
lars a week on gloves alone. The rib-
bons come in at the 4average rate of
ten yards a day, and sometimes as
much as seventy-five yards on Satur-
day. The cost of cleaning a yard of
ribbon is one and a half cents and the
charge hi fivef cents, so that that
branch of the work brings in four dol-
. lars and thirty-five cents a week. She
clears altogether about..eight dollars
and forty-two cents a week.
One advantage of: that kW of work
is that the worker can systematize her
labors in such a way aas to leave the e
afternoons and evenings free. The!
pressing and cleaning is not easy, but 1
a girl who undertakes the work can
stop for rest and recreation when she •
is tired.
Many other girls could turn the plan I
to account, for the number of ribbons :
