VAIN SEARCH FOR MAIDS

Mrs. Hester O. Egan, who has been
in England, Scotland and Ireland for
the last three months as representa-
tive Of the Canadian government to
select domestic servants wishing en-
ployment in the various dominion PROV
inces, has just arrived in New. York.
far. from successful. -, p
"Before I had been long in Great
Britain,'' Mrs. Egan said to the New
York Tribune, :tI realized that Canada
and the United States are not the only
countries that have the servant, prob
lem to deal with. In the United King
dom servant girls were drug on the
market until three years ago. Since
that time they have become not only
noticeably scarce, but exceedingly inde-
pendent. In Glasgow, for instance, the
women domestics have come to realize
that they are living in a free country
and have rights as well as the men,
and they are now asserting them to the;
limit. They have actually organized a
servant girls union, announce a regu-
lar scale Of wages, and declared an.
eight-hour day, with extra pay for
overtime, as well as the power Of de-.
Gliding the number of afternoons off ;
every week each girl may have.
"The domestic girls in London are
| no less assertive. There they have a
housemaids' union, which is flourish
ing. In several other places the house,
maids are organizing for theirsown ben
eft. IncLondon one Of the rules is that
members shall be suitably and neatly

A Vegetarian Dinner
BY coRNELIA G. BEDFORD,

til all are tender, about half an hour,
adding more seasoning if needed. just
before serving, sprinkle in heaping
tablespoonful Of chopped parsley.
The caulifower should be boiled until
barely tender in sailed water. This
must be done in advance that it may
be cold before using. With a sharp
knife divide it into tiny branches. Sep
arate the whites and yolks Of two eggs.
To the yolks add one-half cupful of
cold water, pinch Of salt and one cup
full of -four. Beat until smooth bat
ter, add tablespoonful of melted but
ter and beat again. Stir in the whites
which have been beaten to a. stiff froth
and put aside in a cold place for an
hour or more Have ready a kettle half
filed with smoking hot fat. Dip the
pieces Of caulifower in the batter, lift
out with fork, let drain for an in
slant then drop in the fat, cooking un-
til golden brown. Five or six pieces
can be cooked at once in this way.
When done, drain for moment on soft
paper, then send at once to the table.
Use crisp lettuce and cold boiled
beets for the salad. Cut the beets in
slices, then in match-like strips. For
pint SO prepared mix together a
French dressing, using four table
spoonfuls Of olive oil, a half teaspoonful
Of salt, dash of black pepper and one
tablespoonful Of vinegar. Sprinkle this
over the beets, heap them on the let
tuce in the salad bowl and pass a small
bowl Of additional dressing with them
when served. 49,: za-..... - .. =. n =. !

dividual tastes.
Should the day be warm one, iced
coffee will be more enjoyable than the

pare the coffee early: in the day; add
an equal quantity Of scalding hot milk

Of vinegar, one even tablespoonful each
Of ground cloves and ground pepper,
three-quarters Of tablespoonful, each,
fof ground mustard and allspice, one tea
spoonful Of ground cinnamon, one-half
teaspeonful each of ground ginger and
cayenne pepper, one coffee cup of sugar,
one small cup of:salt. Boil the tomatoes
first and strain thru sieve. Then put
all ingredients into porcelain kettle
and boil, without skimming, to one
half. Bottle hot, without. straining. .
For chill sauce take thirty large to-
matoes, thirty tablespoonful of sugar,
five tablespoonfuls Of salt, ten cups of
vinegar, ten onions, eight red peppers.

Paisley, and SO. does her husband. I
don't know just how successful Mrs.
Murray has been, but I succeeded in
getting only one domestic girl from
that city to emigrate to Canada. The
same dearth and independence of SER
want girls I found in nearly all the
places visited. Even in: : Ireland,
where poverty is supposed to reign
supreme, L got, little encouragement,
altho, I must say, I succeeded better

thirty-six, where I fully expected to
get at least two hundred.

"the frst-class servant girl in Great

for herself, cannot be made to under

are kept, have anything but hard

Indeed, there. are many refined but

cept their positions. On the other hand,
the less. experienced domestic, aside
from her growing scarcity and indie
pendence, is becoming strongly preju-
diced against emigrating to either Can
