LA COMTESSE (_Dairy Work_).—You would expend £5 very wisely, it seems to us, in taking a month’s course of training at the Reading Dairy Institute. You had better wait till the spring, as you suggest, and then devote your attention as closely as possible to the practical dairy work and cheese-making. From renewed inquiry which we have made on the subject we still learn that women licensed at such schools as this obtain excellent posts as dairy-maids and managers of dairies, and receive salaries of about £25 with board and lodging. You should try on the completion of the course to get an appointment in the dairy of some large landed proprietor, and you might be willing to forego something in wages at first in order to work under a competent superintendent. The Principal of the Dairy Institute, we imagine, must constantly be asked to recommend trained pupils. In any case you should consult him as to the whole question of your suitability and prospects before engaging to take the course of tuition. ANXIOUS (_Suggestions_).—If the sight of your one eye is thoroughly strong and satisfactory, you had better learn dressmaking. But if the eye is at all weak, it would be unwise to try it, and in this event cookery or laundry-work would be better. In the end we believe you will not be sorry that you have been considered ineligible as a shop-assistant. It is only in youth that a shop-assistant can be sure of obtaining employment; whereas the skilled worker at any trade can always earn her living. LAUNDRESS (_Superintendentship or Opening for Laundry_).—If you have received a thorough training in laundry work, by which we mean not less than a year spent in learning the business, then by all means advertise for a post as superintendent or manageress. The National Laundry Association has lately fully corroborated all that has been said on the subject in the “G. O. P.” by drawing the special attention of educated women to the prospects that this business now offers under the steam laundry system. We hear continually of places where a laundry is required. Harringay, in the north of London, is one of those most recently mentioned to us. Requests have reached us also from Lichfield, Elstree and Richmond-on-Thames to recommend laundresses to establish themselves in those localities. H. A. T. (_Training in a Children’s Hospital_).—At nineteen you are too young to be admitted as a probationer to any London children’s hospital. But when you are twenty you would be eligible, so far as age is concerned, for the East London Hospital for Children, Glamis Road, Shadwell, E. The vacancies there, however, are extremely few in proportion to the number of applications. No premium is required, and a salary of £10 is given the first year, £12 the second, and £20 the third, with laundry and uniform.
