Bunnelle, Chief | of London Associated | Press Bureau 1 By Cable to AP Feature Service | | | LONDON—Women in England |are streamlining their household | establishments because it's hard to get servants and too difficult and too expensive to do things on a lavish scale any more. Thousands have closed down | their large houses and have taken small, compact places where the; can do their own housework or manage with a part-time maid Where I live, in South Kensing-| ton, there are blocks and blocks| of stately old homes deserted by | their owners. The few modem, apartment houses in this district | have waiting lists, and rents for these "places are exorbitant. ' A friend who recently movu!’ out of a lovely big Georgian | house with a beantiful garden into an efficiency flat explained | that “it’s just too expensive and | too much trouble to keep up a hrrf place. Anyway, my family is scat- tered. One daughter is driving an| ambulance, the other is a nurse, and my two sons are in the army My husband spends most of his| time out of Loudon on war work.”| Wemen Do Men's Work The servant problem has be- tome more trying because men’s jobs have been opened to women. Women now are bus conductors. Lruck drivers, railway porters, “milk men” and “postmen” as well as working in the various women's services, | Servants who had been accus-| tomed to working around the cloc for four or five dollars a weex and keep fipd the hours, pay and more independent position of the: new jobs more attractive. ‘There are many other household | problems. - Plumbers and electrici- ans'+have been drafted, and you have to wait weeks to gei . fhe) smallest job done, Taundries c -1 lect and deliver only once a week A small family laundry which used to cost about $2 a week now cosi |a point Laundry is delivered once a week. $4, and the work is inferior.

If you pay 50 cents extra you can get “express service,” by which your clothes are finished in 10 days—if they aren't blitzed. Every housekeeper makes a daily contribution to the war effort by saving waste paper, tinfoil, tin | cans, bones and food scraps, which have to be kept in separate con- tainers for the garbage collector. Everyone has to be careful about sing water so there will be plenty to put out fires. Lavish entertaining is out be- cause party food and cocktafl in- gredients are scarce and prices way up. Cigarettes are hard to find, too, and many people make of rolling their own! Daytime entertaining has be- come more popular because of the blackout and transportation diffi- culties, and this summer many people who have gardens have entertained out doors ' AWVSKnitting Plans Changed for Friday A change has been announced in the meeting place of the knit- ting members of the American Wo- men’s Voluntary Services for their meeting next Friday night.
