"THE HOUSEWIFE"
M.P. QUOTES EPITAPH
Mrs. M. C. Tate, M.P., quoted the following epitaph in the House of Commons recently to give point to her claim that a woman's work in the house was often dreary.
Here lies a poor woman who was always tired
Because in her house the help was not hired. Her last words on earth were: "Dear friends, I am going To where there's no sweeping, washing, or sewing. Everything there will be exact to my wishes For -where you don't eat there's no washing of dishes: Don't mourn for me. don't mourn for me, never,
I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever."
