A sPLENpIp PROPOSITION.

Another Montgomery woman whose experience makes her opinion on the subject of even greater value writes the following:
 My Dear Mrs. de Cottes-You know a committee of C. and I are working at the problem of importing white ser wants.
 Now, don't you think that to educate our own poor girls up to the idea of the dignity of labor and prepare them to work seems a more loyal and sem sible thing to do than to import an- other States poor girls. I think 1t would be fine! Such a course would secure not only the independence of but the release from poverty and need of charity in the poor girls, less fortunate than others, but often not one whit less womanly and true hearted. It would give them, too, that contact with culture and intelli- gence from which they would be great ly benefited.
 Organization being necessary, we are fortunate in having in our midst al- ready in existence an organization made up of some of the most purpose full. energetic and sensible women in the city. Civic housekeeping is but an extension of private housekeeping.

THE SERVANT PROBLEM.

The thinking housekeepers of Mont gomery are beginning to treat very se- riously the question of the servant problem and to plan remedies for the evil of the present state of affairs. In every other line of work man or wo- man who is able to pay for assistance can procure 1t, and the women of this city have determined to bend their en- orgies and effort to the end of good service in their homes.
 The following letter from one house. keeper whose opinion is of value Is in- teresting:
 Flomation, Ala, Jan. 3. Dear Mrs. de Cottes:
 In line with movement to make our selves independent of unreliable service such as we now suffer from in our Kitchens, is the enclosed which reveals the methods employed by the Richmond women to meet Similar situation in the Capital Of Virginia. As has been stated in previous copies of The Times Dispatch, from which the accompany ing item Is clipped. the effort is made 10 induce girls dependent on self-sup- port to take the Domestic Science course instead of the usual Business College course in stenography. book keeping, etc. It is claimed that service fin good homes throws more protection around working girls than office work, and is equally self-respecting. At least the dignity of service lies in the personality of the man or woman who renders it; and it's agreeablity or dis agreeability depends much on the char acter. intelligence and sympathy of the employer.
 Surely no condition makes more im- perative demand than does household service for loyalty of employe, and ap- preciation and sympathy of employer.
 The Civic Improvement League might on Investigation into this Richmond en- terprfse find suggestions in line with their own aims and aspirations
 The following is the item from a Virginia paper. Names and addresses make possible correspondence if 1t be desired:
