"Fdltor Woman s Page: Why are young women so ashamed of or op-1 op-1 posed to any signs of work In their living rooms today? A fresh magn 7ine and a gorgeous little satin work j bag indicate that they can read and attend a thimble party The well worn books, the big work basket and I sewing machine of a generation ago , have disappeared; even in the homes I of moderate incomes. If the young mother will briug her sewing machine back near her kitchen kitch-en she can sew half an hour while the bread Is baking or the meat boiling Thus she can make all her little bo , s waists and sae buing everything ready made She can make button holes while she talks with a friend and teach the children their Sunday school lessons while 6he mends their stockings "I am sure the constant buying of ready made clothing is one of the greatest leaks in family economy today, to-day, and it is partly due to the fact that the sewing machine is put away upstairs in an inconvenient corner for work. b.
