The Servant Problem
200 NAVVIES COMING. Per United Press Association. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, Alarch Hi. The Hon. W. I’, Beeves has accepted two hundred navvy emigrants for New Zealand, and is willing to give a thousand domestic servants reduced passages to New Zealand, regardless of the capital qualification. (Even now a fair number of servant girls are arriving in the colony, and they nil find places waiting their coming. They are snapped up as soon as they are off the boat. The experience is that they are delighted to get places at 10s a week, but as soon as they make a circle of girl friends they stick out for 15s, and can always g'ot it. A thousand girls arriving in two or three batches Would about restore the mental balance of New Zealand's married womankind). .
