the next house. Family liars and skele-
tons should never be exhibited In this
way. The family should be by itself
when it chooses, and it never should give
up this privilege by hiring someone to
do the work.
Tue work of the average household
should be simplfied or more servants
should be employed to do il. While the
work should be laid ont and supervised
by the mistress, the girl should be left
to work in her own way, as long as re
suits are good. Sharp reproof and con-
tinual raging are irritating to any girl.
There ought TO be certain hours agreed
upon during the day and evening which
the girl shall have for her own, during
which sheis at liberty to do as she pleases
without call or intrusion. The factory or
shop girl has her hour at noon and her
evening. Sometime during the day the
servant should have as much, and ut q
regular specified time. Without such in
tervals of withdrawal and repose no girl
can long stand to work out. )" This could
be arranged in individual cases accord
ing to the needs of individual house
holds, and the mere recognition of the
rightfulness of such need would do
much to win our smart American girls
back into the field of American house
work. Girls should also have neat and
comfortable quarters assigned them.
The position of servant would be less
CALLING than now if one were sure of
room which has facilities for heating. A
servant is better servant who is able to
have bath in a warm room, and who is
not obliged to sleep where the water
freezes in the ever. Thoughtfulness on
the part of the mistress for q girls COM
fort goes far toward the securing of faith
ful and efficient service. Given comfort
able quarters, kind treatment, a gener.
Gus interest on the part of the mistress
for the we'll being of the maid, and the
promt payment of fair wages for q fair
amount of work, few girls would think
about the mooted question of social
equaiity-they would prefer the social
companionship of their own age and
class.
But the servant girls are growing
scarcer, and when, with such regime,
good service cannot be secured, there is
still a way out of the difficulty, and in
some instances it is the best possible.
Let the housewife put out the washing,
baking. and if need be, the sewing, and
do the rest herself, training her daugh-
ters to help her and to learn the womanly
art of housekeeping.

OF her father in oil. It would have
looked more like the old gentleman and
would have smelled infinitely more like

wart on Mr.. Daubigne's cheek is omitted
in the picture; and the right ear which
was bit off in fight down at the red
bridge ten years ago, has been restored

Women Lawyers In Italy.


Italy is getting as much ahead of us as
America. La Signora Lydia Poet has
just been admitted to practice at the bar
OF Turin, and appeared for the first time
in her barrister's gown to plead the cause
of young painter whose pictures had
been uniustly detained by his landlord,
and much injured by the damp of the
garret to which they had been consigned.
The lady barrister obtained great suc-
cess for her humorous description of the
subject OF the pictures, and amid much
applause, obtained verdict with goodly
damages in favor of her client. She was
escorted home, still enveloped in her
lawyers robes, by large concourse of
people, who gave her serenade in the
evening, IN which the tenor voice of the
young painter was conspicuous by it's
deep expression. London Herald.
