WOMAN and
SOCIETY.

has gone
Ave. with her bag and baggage taken |
leavei
She was not fair to look on, yet L
grieve
AS broken-hearted droops the
stricken fawn-
Where are your two weeks notice, |
Bridget Bawn,
Which your credentials promised |
believe?
But patience, Wife-be brave before |
your sorrow,
(Come hither, pray and light the I
kitchen stove)
Well go and hire another Jewel to-
morrow
From Bink's Employment Bureaus
treasure trove,
I'll take nv food tonight from your
fair hand,
Don't turn the gas range on like that
good landD
There is no Servant Problem, that 1
feel,
To any housewife willing to be kind,
To help the Cook, to carry coal and
The bell, and when the servants tired
to peel
Potatoes, and with sweet, unselfish
zeal
To teach the housemaid epigrams
refined,
TO wash the dishes with devotion
And help the waitress as she serves
the meal
The trouble with you women is that
you
lars per;
Va1sro looking for a ladV who will do
The sordid household jobs you ask of
her,
Without consulting her innate desire.
(Gladys. those mashed potatoes are
on fireO
AT Bink's Employment Bureau in
Fen now 1 see the eligibles stand,
Jewels all of them-the prices
they command
Assure their precious values that 1
know;
But this one not laundress, tother's
The Si next too delicate to lend a
hand
To beating rugs, and adds in ac-
cents grand,
eff We don't kape no coachman OF
don't go.'
T
think that we
Can lure an Angel to our humble
hearth.
To act as chaperon for you and me
And make our home a heaven upon
EARTH
To ease awhile our lives with sorrow
goaded?
GLADYS, look out! Great Scott, that
stoves exploded!D
All, Fate has served us many bitter
dole!
Do you remember Mary Ann Nc
Gee,
Who at a dinner party scalded me
And served us pretzels with the soup,
good soul?
Do you remember Dinah Jones. whose
whole
Life was a blunder varying in de-
gree,
Who used your Dresden chocolate
pot for tea
And brought on salad in finger
bowl?
Do you recall-but why the details
give
OF that from which we fain would
find release?
Without a Cook, alas we cannot live,
Yet with Cook we cannot live
in peace.
Oh. for a lodge in some vast forest,
Wife,
To dine on herbs and live the Simple
Life!
