A complete revolution of the position of the domestic servant is foreshadowed, says a Home paper. by the Guild of Housewives and Houseworkers, which For Particulars, apply to to be started in a suburban districi, and, if successful, may be expected to spread rapidly all over the country. The main idea is of co-operation between housewives. und houseworkers, with a communal staff. Servants will no longer be engaged on the old principle of serving one mistress uzd receiving board and lodging. The gild will supply servante to its own members, but they will remain at the dispean of the guild, in the management of which they will have a defizite and equal interest. At the beginning the workers will be billeted in the district where they are employed; but if the scheme warrinte the expenditure hostels will he built eventually. Wages will be high compared
