How We Took the Dread From Wash
Day. "
It seems that anything that gives
light :on lessening the drudgery of
wash day is appreciated, especially by
the women, as washing seems to be
one of the housewife's most undesir-
able duties. I never understood why
it should be, until once when my wife
was sick and the hired girl refused
to do the washing.
It was up to me to do it, so I got.
out the two old wooden tubs and the
washboard. I waded right in, rubbed
the skin off my fingers, slopped the
water all over alae, nearly broke my
back, and the clothes were a sight,

pair all sorts of rubber articles—
hot-water bags, syringes, garden
