Servant Girl Problem,

Wise ChiCagoans are pointing
With the prOudest kind of pride
To solution Of a problem
Long in vain by others tried.
They are hiring men as servants
To do all the household chores,
While the former maids are seeking
Jobs in Offices end slcres.
And the men are broadly smiling
Ger the easy work and pay.
And each one of them is fOping
That the girl will stay away
For the tasks 10 them are trihing
And their rooms and meals are free,
And it's lust like finding money
When their salaries they see.
That they're giving satisfaction
is d fact that's very plain.
For they're UP I'm all the business
That made old-time serN ants vain.
Clouds of dust they're promptly raising
When they give the broom a whirl,
And the men can smash the dishes
Just as we'll as any girl
There is no fear that madames bonnet
VIII be sported by the cook.
And the gown she highly prizes
VIII be found upon its hook
There are now no lunches waiting
For the hungry beauX to eat
and no smiling from the window
At the copper on that beat.
There are many other reasons
But these surely should suffice
Showing that the servant problem
in Chicago cuts no ice
There $50 well the scheme Is working
That it's pretty safe TO guess
Other cities will adopt it
AM enjoy the same success.
Men will do the washing, baking.
And an other household chores.
While the women hold positions
I'm the Offices and stores.
And some bubbles now are trembling
Seeing I'm the plan this doom
That their wives will go out clerkins
While they WELD the mop and broom.
