It is generally supposed that an

This is not so. The modern oil -stove
burner is a cleaner, and more perfect
burning apparatus than a gas burn-

coming from the completed learning
of kerosene are a clean, dry heat
that is purer than that conning from

Why Not Be a Washerwoman?
Not long ago I was left alone with
three children to bring up and no-
thing to clo`it with. When i sat down
and made an inventory of my accom-
plishments, preparatory to earning a
living for thyself and them, I found
that the profession for which I
seemed best suited was, that of a
washerwoman.
My friends were shocked—and die-
d guste'1. It seemed dreadful to them.
a The fact that I actually liked to
-1 wash and iron pretty things, and
u would almost rather have died than
1 have gone .;tato a man's office or be -
f/ a eounter, meant nothing to
i them. "Never you mind," I told
them, "I'lI be a washerwoman de
luxe, and the woman who doesn't
!send' her fine things to this Madam
Sans Gene will be so behind the
1 Hines that she will be as uneo2nfort-
able as she would in a last year's
1 hat."
I went to a society editor of one
Iof the daily papers in town, and got
a list. -of the ultra-fasitionables. I
, sent a letter to each of them, ex-
pla,ining my new venture, although,
of course, 'I didn't tell them that • it
was a new one, and stated my prices,
which were so high that they created
interest in themselves,
"I am riot soliciting ordinary
stuff,"' I said, "that an ordinary
laundress can clo; I can't bother with
that. But 12t/en your white satin
skirt is ready for a bath, or your pet
silk sweater, or your silk underwear
and stockings, send them to me. I
eau do them so you will never have
to worry about them again."
The responses I received from the
tatters surprised me. I do eiery
