DOMESTIC SERVANTS
Sir,—The shortage of domestic help is a subject of interest, and I notice two of your correspondents consider that domestic help should be imported io lighten the labour of their wives jind daughters and incidentally themselves, as they have to turn to when no other help is available. I think I am right in saying that women are the majority of the papula-, tion iri this Dominion, and if that is so Micro should be no need for, importing domestic help from nny other country. There aro hundreds of offices all over the country, where women are employed in place of men, because they aro cheaper; let t>he men have those posts and you will free t>ho women to do t(ie work of the homes. . The men of the country hove no right to ■ grumble about their women-folk being overworked as lone as they 1 employ women in what 6hould be men's work.— I am, etc,, JOHNSTON. -
