I do not suggest that a number of outcasts⁠—using the term in the sense that they are outcast from home and security⁠—are competent cooks. But a certain proportion are skilled, as I have said, in the domestic arts, and if an employer could persuade herself to try them out at a proper wage⁠—none of your ninepence an hour⁠—they would discover unlooked for ability, and at the same time have the satisfaction of feeling that they had offered an opportunity, very rarely to be found.
