Governesses i'm New South South Wales.
New South Wales does not seem an
ideal place for "gentlewomen" to emil
CRATE to. An advertisement recently ap-
peared in Sydney paper to the follow
ing purport: "GOverness required, oOun-
try, eldest pupil eleven; must be good
lady who has ably filled some of the best
appointments I'm England and in the
colony, but who was for the moment dis
engaged, answered the advertisement.
And this is the reply she received to her
the punctuation: "In. reply to yours 1 re-
drawing French (beginners), calisthenics
there are four pupils eldest eleven young
est four and a half and two younger
children with whom you would have
little to do as there Is nurse. Your
two younger pupils would require to be
washed and dressed and the eldest to
have her hair done. There would be a
few light household duties of which
could tell you should you consider the
position likely to suit you. The salary
Is $50 per annum!'
Surely, this is enough; but there fol-
lows gracious promise that the salary
shall be raised BY a pound or two, IL
you suit your employers" and "are
agreeable in the house." 1t is fortunate
for the successful applicant for this lu-
crative appointment that she will have
but little to do with children under the
age Of a.; for, with four to teach all the
subjects required, two to dress entirely,
and two to have their hair done, what
time Is the unfortunate governess to
have for herself? But, then, she is to
receive ESQ year, with promise Of q
rise" II she is agreeable" in the house.
