OF course, one may have ones OPP
inions as to whether the helpful
newspapers are entirely sober-faced
about their suggested methods of
capturing that rare article, the maid,
Perhaps they spread it on bit thick
don't you know. But certainly they
must be vaguely reaching for the
truth, though they may pull our leg
now and then in the process Of en-
tightening US. But this one actually
happened. 1t is in the Times, that
six cent journal, which must circu-
late so widely among the really ex-
elusive domestic servant class.
Turn to the Times of April 20 and
find it for YOURSELF Screw of four

this. Desiring maid. perchance, in
England now, oh, never insert an ad-
yertisement built along the good old
fashioned lines we can all remember
in America: Wanted; Hired girl"
etc, etc. II must be done deftly,
daintily.
There's really no maid shortage, IL
one goes about it properly. Look at
the two million surplus women and
then tell us how can there be maid
shortage.
The thing that's short, all comment
on the servant problem shows, is
good advertisers, diplomats of the
household. Take few lessons in
methods of enchantment. Develop
your best high society manner. Learn
to be an engaging hostess.
Then sign up with correspond
ence school teaching the psychology
of advertising.
And then there will be servants
galore. Thus prepared, one may
have ones pick.
The newspapers even will help yor
with timely tips on how it is to bt
done. For instance, we are giver

"FIu" Aids Wiq-Makers.

Wig makers of Philadelphia have
trebled their business since October.
The supply Of human hair has been
hardly sufficient to meet the added de-
mands of the trade, they say.
Influenza is given as the reason for
the tremendous increase in wig max
ing. Thousands of persons who were
attacked with this disease have visit
ed the city's wig makers, carrying the
hirsute adornment of happier days and
beseeching the experts to turn them
out something lifellke in the way of
a toupe before their friends began tn
make personal remarks about their re-
semblance TO hard boiled egg.
1.-The loss of hair in Philadelphia
has been appalling" said Anthony
Buch. q wig maker. The worst of ii is
that many persons whose hair had fall
len out could not use 1t again. 1t was
lacking in elasticity and life"
Wig makers decline to estimate the
poundage of false hair that is daily pa
raded on the streets OF the city.
