THE SERVANT PROBLEM.
The servant problem is evidently more serious in America than it is in New Zealand. The New Yoik newspapers daily contain extraordinary offers from despairing householders who are unable to obtain domestics. Perhaps the .most remarkable advertisement is that inserted in good faith by Mr George Tolow, a millionaire distiller, who wants a cook for his house in the Alleghany mountains. The advertisement reads as follows: —"Wanted, woman cook for mountain lionie; good wages. Room with private bath, private dining room. No laimdiry work or milking. Use of back verandah and half an acre ■ of lawn. Lots of flowers to look at. Off one afternoon eaelmveek. Seventeen miles motor ride once a week."
