Hire an Aunt
For Their Guide

London, June 22.-Haye an
aunt. Universal aunts rented at
reasonable prices. Special prices
probably boosted specially--for
American customers.
Send chart of your taste in
aunts. Seventy in stock.
It's no ''leg-pulling" contest.
There's no ''spoofing" about it. 1t
can be done.
You can step out and hire an
aunt. on reasonable terms, for a
wide and growing variety of uses
and suit your taste in the picking
of them, for the first firm to enter
the business has seventy in stock.
It's the Universal Aunts." I'm
limited. Which is to say, that If
seventy isn't enough the earnest
band sof aunts will expand itself
and take in new members.
The chief aunt is Miss s. Fort.
She's to be found at No. Sloane
street. She thought up the idea
of providing gentlewomen to do,
for price, the various tasks
which the average family or the
average person OF family sidles
onto the maiden aunt. The idea
being that though everybody has
not maiden aunt who is free and
can be imposed upon, everybody
has these odd tasks that want
doing" and folks will pay for the
service.
The hand of the faithful--wo-
men of education and culture -
include expert linguists, expert
dressmakers, experts at house dec
oration, experts Of all sorts.
They take schoolboys to and
from school. They act as buyers
for helpless men who want to do
the wife proud while on a visit to
London and distrust their own
taste. They read to invalids and
act as companions Of travellers.
They supervise spring cleaning.
They study London's entertain
ments and are ready to advise or
guide visitors about, giving them
entertainment according to their
tastes.
1t is in this latter field that they
hope to cater to the American
visitors.
Universal Aunts' are prepared
for consideration, to take Amer
ican visitors in town and see that
they get what they want, see what
they want to see, and enjoy their
trips abroad.
