LOOKING TO NEW ZEALAND.

In a private letter received by a Wellington lady from a relative in Rugby (England) the following passages occur (says the 'New Zealand Times'): —'Doubtless attracted by the glowing accounts of tho possibilities New Zealand and the other overseas Dominions oilier, large numbers (men' and women) are inquiring as to the possibility of transferring'to your and other distant parts of the globe. Personally, I know that, many domestics will make the experiment as soon as opportunity offers, and ' I also know the independence of the average New Zealand girl, and I admire her for it. She will willingly assist at home, but she won't go into service—and I don't blame her. These Home girls are quite all right, and will supply a longfelt want. They are. well trained, and are domestics pure and simple. So far the Immigration Department n't your-High Commissioner's offices in the Strand has held out little hope, because there' are thousands yet to be shipped home, and others who have,a prior claim. But the shipping arrangenieuts are gradually becoming'better, and unless there is something in your ever-changing legislation to prevent it, you will have a substantial addition to your .male and female labour bei'oro long.' ■■
