DOMESTIC SERVANTS IN CHICAGO.
•"Servant'problem! You don't know what •it is over here!" said an Australian newly returned from America. "You should try to keep it house in Chicago. Servants, are rarer than dollars over there. Somo\ friends of mine were faced with the difficulty, and got over it this way. They built a house -specially'', designed for labour-saving, so that they could manage the work themselves. Then they hired a cook, and dispensed with any other; servants. They pay the cook 375. a. week, and she condescends to prepare them one meal a : day. If there are guests staying in the house, they all—- men or women —make their own beds as a matter, of course. ( The servant girl will soon be an extinct animal in Chicago."
