INTERESTING'. TO LADIES. -our .Lady:
readers can hardly fail to have their.
attention: callee. this week to the' latest
combination of InipitiVetneall sin ilia ':
most useful of all domestic implements,
the "sewing machine." As we:tinder-
stand it, a machine• for family :use
should Inset firat'.of'alt these require-
ments : It _ should be , simple in -its
mechanlstn, PO RS to be.easilymanaged;
it should run easily; so'as not to weary
the worker unduly ; it should do a wide
range of work', that the' oweer' -need
not wish for. any- other 'machine; it
shunld be as nearly noiseless as pos-
-isble, that it may not be .a nuisance ;.
it should be; light, handsome,- durable,
and as cheap as is 'consistent, svith°:
cellenee-tiefougliout. These conditions
the "Light Running 114w Home"` 'cer,
tainly meets. It has also several very '
important and useful attachments and
" notions" of its own, which go far to
make good its claims to popular favor.'
Now a great many families • have been
and are still using the old machines --
waiting for the times to insprov-e; wait-
ing for the latest improvements in deo
signs and Mechanical excellence. But
why delay longer 1 Considering the
low price at which • good. .machines are
now sold, and the improvements that'
have been made, now is a good time to
buy, ,and the "New Homee'specially
recommends itself to purbhasers on ac-
count of its supeaior- nieehanical con-
struction, ease of management and
reasonable ,price. . Nearly half a - MU'
