The Servant Question.

Toronto, July 21.—The iocreasing dif ficulty in securing domestic servants, which ia felt on every hand, may be due in part to the failure of one ofthe impor- tant sources of supply. Jacob Spence, cbeif of the Ontario immigration bureau said today that in recent years there had been a great falling off in the arrivals of young women. Fifteen years ago from 2,000 to 2,500 single young women canie out yearly from the British Isles to On tario, and were employed chiefly as do- mestics. Now very few women come ou, and the young women of tae country are so fully employed just now in industrial occupations that there is a remarkable ecarcity of domestice.
