Thodomandfor woman to do housovrork is never supplied. Women nnd girls wanting places in ofilcoa , stores , shops and manufactories an obliged to nook thoai or to ndvortiso for them , while the columns of news papers nro filled with demands for persons to do chamber work , cook , wash , iron , and take care of children. All labor wants are supplied except the wants for fomnlo laborers in house holds. It is generally admitted that general housework it less laborious than most of the work which women perform in other occupations requiring manual labor. It is certainly loss monotonous , and is in ovpry sense highly respectable. Domestic labors , by common consent nro the proper ones for women to perform , nnd the ones iu which the largest number of highly respectable wives and mothers are engaged. No woman ia .moderate or fair circumstances fools any deg radation in cooking food , swooping floors , and keeping clothing in order for the members of her own family. She would , however , fool degraded if she wns obliged to tend store or work in a manufactory. Evidently it is not the difference in remuneration or in the nmount or se verity of the Inbor to bo performed that causes girls to prefer almost any kind of occupation to that of house work. The cause of their aversion to household duties must be sought else where. An intelligent wrjter in one of our magazines suggests that caste distinctions are very closely drawn between the persons who-do different klnils of labor W thi country , Seam stresses who work t n custom gnrmdnts regard those who1 sow on ordinary work as their inferiors. The latter look with scorn if not contempt on tbo girls who prepare their food in cheap boarding houses. Iu the several arti ficial grades among working women , that of general house servant is thought by these otherwise employed to bo the lowest in the social scale. T.his class distinction , in the opinion of the writer , has much to do iu the influenc ing the choice of occupation. Girls who do housework must bo ele vated to the social position that seams tresses and clerks enjoy , or they will bo reluctant to continue in the calling in which they are engaged. A writer in an English paper states that girls engaged in 'housework are often nbusnd in the public press , and the faults common to them as a class greatly magnified , while a good word is rarely spoken in their favor. Ho states that the few thefts committed by servant girls are always promptly reported in the papers , as are their acts of carelessness , while no public notice is over made of faithful con duct or heroism in the discharge of duty. The question of domestic help is now attracting considerable atten tion in Great Britain , and measures are bning taken with a view to induce superior girls to work in private fami lies instead of in hotels and manufac tories , Many mistresses in the higher classes of society are desirous of obtaining the services of women of ( natp and refinement in 'heir ' house , holds , Only a few days ngo the papers chronicled the death of a young ser vant girl as the result of saving her mistress from being burned. In her heroic efforts io extinguish the flames her own dross caught fire , and , after suffering protracted misery , she died the most terrible of all deaths. The instances of nurse girls periling their own lives to save the lives of children committed to their charge are fre quent , and are deserving of general notice , Considering the largo amount of valuable property loft in charge of servant girls by women who devote much time to shopping , visiting and pleasure seeking , it seems remarkable that cases of theft are not more fre quent than they are. Wo hear of about as many banks being robbed by high-salaried officials as wo do of houses being robtted by poorly paid orvant girls who are left in charge of born. The temptations sot before omestica are many , and ore generally osistcd. Servant girla do not unite n gono'ral atxlu'a for shorter hours or ighor wages , > > r for both , as persons o who nro on igcd in most kinds of rork , Aa n class they are conscion- ious , honest and upright. They orm the most useful body of persona n the community. If their services voro bettor appreciated , they would n most cases , bo bettor performed. VJmt is moro , a bettor class of girls vould prefer working in private louses to working in shops , stores , and large manufactories. Now that o many now avenues are opened to working women , it may become ne cessary to offer greater inducements or girls to engaqo in household lutica * THE CHALK LINE , Whioh the Legislature is Bx- pooted to Too at the Eo- liost ofNaucoj This Having Particular Reference oronco to Matters and Things in tlio Uni versity.
