The Servant Question Out West (1914)
The Briggs family has moved west to a euphonious settlement known as Jaw Bones. There are comparatively few women in that locality, and correspondingly large numbers of men, so that they lose their first hired girl quickly by the marriage route. Not to be put out of business, they import another girl. Soon they lose her and send east for another. History repeats itself over and over again. Cupid is continually robbing them of kitchen help. They finally order through a relative in the east in whom they have confidence, "a plain girl." This does not break their spell of luck very long, for "the plain girl" is greedily snapped up. Then they order "a positively homely girl," but the market of their ill luck keeps steady, and the positively homely girl is fortunate in getting a wealthy husband. Women, short and tall, old and young, are imported, but they are quickly snatched up by the matrimonial aspirants in Jaw Bones. Finally they solve their problem by hiring a Chinaman. Nobody wants him, so they keep him and have good cooking and some fun in the bargain.
