Miss Gertrude Sack-ett, in an admirable address before the Summit County Horticultural Society, at its recent meeting at Springfield, Ohio, remarked: "One thing should here be spoken of - a woman may be a good dressmaker, but not all are. I think the old saying, ' Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well,' finds illustration here. A dressmaker in order to be successful must learn the trade. The average American woman has a good figure, when it is not distorted by a wretchedly fitting dress.

"To take a different view of the subject, let us mention a few ways in which women may earn money, if that is what they are seeking.

"Gardening may be carried on to a limited extent, and the cultivation of flowers may be made a specialty. Lima beans are quite easily raised, and sell for a good price in the fall. Sweet corn may likewise be raised with some profit, even if some of the gain is lost in defraying the expense of hiring the harder part of the labor. Gardening, too, has the great advantage of being a decidedly healthy occupation.

"A few years ago, a young girl who, from all appearances, was fatally ill with consumption, went to a country home and amused herself in the garden when she felt strong enough. She found the health-giving properties of the soil and recovered. She declared that the spade was her doctor".
