With .regard' to the ever-increasing problem of domestic help, a woman writing to a Weillingtoni wnitfcemporary says:—"To begin with, ladies ha.ye jdo difficulty whatever in getting domestic help. Kind, thoughtful, courteous women will always command loving and faithful iservice. The two reasons why girk desert, domestic work are the (treatment (received from mistresses amd the monotony and isordid;ness of the usual surroundings of the domestic help. Self-respecting and refined girls will usually prefer to half starve themselves on what they can. cairn in factories and offices than to have their finer feelings 'trampled on ■a dozen times a day. Mam's inhumanity to man pales into insignificance beside woman's inhum-anity to women. In this democratic country often is the maid the equal of "her mistress in inenita] calibre."
