WORK AT HOME. "The Women's Educational and Industrial Union, of Boston, Mass., oau:ion.s all women to be wary ot' advertisemente and circulara promising - on receipt of a certain sum - work at home with large earnings.

Either the person forwarding the moriey gets no answer at all, or the materials and itnplements sent are of little worth, or the finished work is rejected, even if well done, or o her obstacle3 are placed in the way, (the object being simply to get rid of her.) The parties advertising mike frequent changas of name and address, with some difference in circulara. They are now sending out through the Uuited States and Canada and the Provinces, hundredf of thousands of plausible circulara, well calculated to deceive, for not many of the hundreda of thousands of women receiving thera are a ware, that by a single advertisetnent any city firm can get plenty of workers close at hand. Learning that this evil can best be checked by enlightening the public, we goliat the aid of the press, and the following continuous notice appearing in our daily papers, eaeh in turn giving it one week'8 ingertion, will much help the poor working women : "The Womeu's Educational and Industrial Union 74 Boylston-st, Boston, Mass., will gladly give information regarding circulars and advertisements offering to women work at home." It is earnestly desired that the newspaper everywhere help to enlightenthe public by ccpying the whole of the present article and by giving the above cotice, or a similar one frequent ineertions, also that Women's Agsociations, variously Iocated, join us in thig work and by snitable advertising make themselves known as centres ol information.

Sueh general concurrence of effect will save multitudes of women from sorrow and loss. Work effectively againat the swindlers, and promote the iuterests of the honest advertisera." Mrj.
