DEARTH OF WOMEN
 SERVANTS IN ENGLAND.
International News Service Staff
 Correspondent.

London, Nov. 25.-Man Is q com plete. very complete, failure as a do- domestic servant.
 Wives who have any doubt Of this statement may consult British em- ployment experts who have been try ing to offset unemployment by secur- ing eN-service men positions as "cham- bermaids,' ''parlor maids and char women
 Men can't fill the places that have for centuries been filled by women, and this is a domestic tragedy in Eng land, where there are too few servant girls and too many unemployed men.
 "GeneraIly speaking. our exper- fence with the ex-seryiCe man as a domestic servant has not been a sue cess" said J. R. Griffen, of the Brit ish Legion, an expert on employment Man is all right as a waiter or but Ter, but to fill the role previously filled by a wOman-weU those are hardly the functions you would expect a man to perform"
 Nevertheless, there are more men in domestic service now than ever be fore Many London homes have a man and wife as the servant staff. the wife spending more of her time in the kitchen cooking and the husband doubling in brass as a combined butler waiter and parIOr man.
 Several unemployed ex-serviCe men have even hired out as ''nursemaids." but babies don't seem to take kindly to male mentors.

 Now. 1 am rather 0Id-fashiuneI in my ideas. and was surprised rJ near this ] have been wondering if t js true.
 To ho popular with young men dOv= one have to '-vsmp'' and kiss them I do not believe in Kissing every y0u-S man I meet. I have noticed that the girls that kiss the yo'ng men always have plenty of oeaUN. Why is tn5s@
 AN OLD-FASEIOSED GIRL. A N OLD FASHIONED GIRL: It is A very improper. my aear. to dance With a young man 10 whom you have not been introduced
 It is also undisniFed. incorrect and very unyyiSe to allow young men to whom you are not engaged t0 kiss you and to make love tC you. The girls uf whom you speak may seem pp1ular. but lo not think that 9 y1rI0r man would -onside- such girls seriously when he yhoUg It Of marriage Keep up youV iiCuited attitude my dear t is a pleasure to know that you set the way you do You will Ne glad you have conducted yourself as yCl a-e doing and SO ws1 the man vSo IS to be your husband. when that time comes.
