Study In Contrasts
Look at a modern Want Advertisement, then compare this one which appeared in a 19th century London newspaper: "Wanted, for a sober family, by the Profane, denominated Methodists, a woman of light weight who fears the Lord and can drive a pair of horses. She must occasionally wait at table, join in Household Prayer, read a chapter in the Bible, she must (God willing) rise at seven in the morning, obey her master and mistress in all lawful commands, if she can dress hair, sing hymns, and play at cribbage, the more agreeable, N.B.: She must not be too familiar with the men setvants of the House lest the flesh should rebel against the spirit, and she should be induced to walk in the thorny paths of the wicked. Wages, 15 guineas a@ year." The grand old days!
