Housewives who were enthusiast
cally in favor Of the plan when it was
first started, because war conditions
had greatly complicated the domestic
servant problem, are now as much at
sea as ever. The Germantown Y. w.
G. A. secretaries were loath to discuss
the matter. They said the plan had
been abandoned, but they felt that some
other would be evolved to take care of
the situation.
"The trouble with the home assist
ants" said one of the employers who
tried the plan, lis that they were glad
to do the cooking, and the more pleas
ing duties of the house, but reluctant,
even to the point of refusing to do some
things they thought menial. Every
woman knows that a certain amount of
drudgery Is essential In every household.
The floors must be scrubbed, the bath
room kept clean, and dozens Of other
petty things are necessary.

There can be no such thing as
equality between the mistress of
household and her domestic assistants.
At least that is the decision reached
by many Germantown women who have
been experimenting with the "house
assistant" plan.
Both the mistresses and the assistants
were dissatisfied and kept dropping out
of the experiment till the Y. w. @. A.,
under whose direction 1t was made, has
given up the idea.
The women employees, who were sup
posed to be addressed as Miss" or
MRS" and treated in the same man
ner aa Office assistants, say their en-
nloyers were snobbish and insisted on
treating them as servants. The mis-
tresses say the employees wanted to run
the place, assume all responsibility and
boss things generally.
When the experiment started the 4.
W. O. A. asked young women who
wanted to make living and still did
not want to be known as servants to
enroll as house assistants to work q
certain number of hours each day, and
be treated as equals in the household.
A number of women applied for such
nositions, Even in the beginning many
were dubious. Some married applicants
said they would try the experiment II
they could use fictitious names, Otherwise
their husbands would object to their
doing domestic work. None wanted her
