*- WANGANUI WOVIAN’S EXPER-

lENCE,

A well-known Wanganui res.dent who- recently visited the Mother Country took the opportunity while there of [engaging “the services of a couple of domestic helps. She paid their passages to the Dominion and the girls, on their part, promised to “make good” s at this end to the satisfaction of their employer. They “made |ood” right enough, but not to the satisfaction _of the lady by whom they were engaged, for o ce reaching New Zealand they carefully gave Wanganui a wide, berth, and have not since been heard of. There is a rumor that one of them to k, unto herself a husband k preference to taking the billet for which she was booked, while the other, apparently, was content to take French leave. There are hundreds of girls at Home only toi anxious for a chance to make a start in a new country, but treatment of the kind to which the Wanga. nui employer was subjected to is not calculated to encourage others to make a similar experiment.—Chronicle,
