In these days of difficulty in securing domestic servants, mistresses

will accept almost any sort of help, but there are limits. A woman

interrogated a husky girl in an employment office, who was a recent

importation from Lapland. The dialogue was as follows:

 

"Can you do fancy cooking?"

 

"Naw."

 

"Can you do plain cooking?"

 

"Naw."

 

"Can you sew?"

 

"Naw."

 

"Can you do general housework?"

 

"Naw."

 

"Make the beds, wash the dishes?"

 

"Naw."

 

"Well," cried the woman in puzzled exasperation, "what can you do?"

 

"I milk reindeer."
