Servant Girls In Demand

Chicago is pleading for servant girls. Employment agencies and individuals are ransacking the city and available neighboring towns for either raw or experienced material, but the demand continues to far outstrip the supply, says the New York World. ín factory towns the prevailing era of prosperity has caused an increase in the working force of girls employed.

Towns where factories are not competitors with the housewife have been depleted by the factory towns, which are consuming more than the local girl supply, and the increasing demands of Chicago and other large cities are absorbing the available domestic contingent by reason of the offer of appreciably higher wages.

The same scarcity of domestic help is said to exist in other cities.
