T.'Pearse, the well-known artist, bears the legend "New Zealand Wants Domestic Servants. Happy Homos. Good Wages, Fares from London and Liverpool £2 165." N This is very nice in it's way. But we should ?ilce to knov just how many of the hundreds of domestics who hare been imported during the last year or two are at present in service.
