WORK FOR WOMEN . ■ ■«-— • - ■

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l would like.to endorse tha; letter appearing in Saturday's "Post" written by "Spinster." I am wondering how much longer the employed women are going to be made -to pay tax to keep men on sustenance-^-many of the latter well able to work, but they will not look, lor work. I. have had over 20 years* experience in housekeeping, etc., and through ill health cannot keep on at the work any longer. The women who employ labour today—the majority—seem to need a week's work done in half a day. With all. the women's ;cpmmittees and clubs in Wellington - surely someone can do something to help.—• I am, etc.ANOTHER SPINSTER. and we could see: spotlessly laid out Holland, with its canals, dykes; windmills,- £nd. currycombed .fields. • We passed over many towns which' we were unable to identify, but after crossing the frontier at the River, Maaswe soon. struck the Rhine and followed it up over Cologne and Coblenz and so to Frankfort. It was a quarter to eleven at night when, after circling Frankfort, we came softly down on* the landing-field to pick up the mooring mast, which in. turn towed us into the immense, brightly-lighted, hangar. We lad made the 4000-mile crossing from. tfew York in 42 hours- 52 minutes—a| ie\v Atlantic record- ,
