seems ignorant of the fact the great
mass of American households has the
problem of getting service done from
g a. m to or p. I'M. for the sum
which win pay a single housegirl a very
moderate wage.
The fact is that the domestic service
IS on a business basis and always has
been 1t is on the basis that those
who wish the best service must pay
high rates for it, and those who cannot
pay those rates must put up with the
half-trained or inefficient service which
is all that can be had at the price. The
unbusinesslilxe part of the subject con-
sists of complaining when first-class
article cannot be got for a second class
price,
