English Family.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t Is so often said that the plan of engag.
Ing ladies' as domestic servants does moi
succeed that II Is satisfactory to hear mt
least of one case where the plan has been
tried most satisfactorily by a lady who
has domestic establishment both in Lon
don and in tho country.
The eternal servant question cropping up
In recent conversation with this lady,
lwrites lady representative l asked her
how, now ahe plan of employing Educated
women OF tho upper S1tfsBles ns servants
had answered. .It-R6s been entirely sue
cessful," was thu reply, "and my servants
are now always ladies'. | have one, a house
maid, charming girl, who il the daughter
Of medical man, and all of whose male
relations are professional men, and who
does her work as thoroughly and as well
as any ordinary servant could be expected
to do IL.
"rhen you do not find that, after the
glanor Of novelty is worn of, the lady SER
wants begin to find 1t rather unpleasant to
do menial work." "Not in the least. Ifthey
are real ladies land II is, of course, only in
cases where they are that it can succeed,
they will know that menial work does not
lower them. Ofcourse, l try to avoid giving
them so-called dirty work as much as pos
sible. For instance, backing CRATES is very
unpleasant work, and very ungratef,il
work too, for tho result ia never lasting
and never particularly effective. | there
fore have only CRATES decorated with tiles
as much as possible, and with the smallest
part of ironwork requiring blacking.
Again, in order to AVOID scrubbing, / have
the floors covered with a material which
only requires wiping. A great many ar
rangements can be made In this way to
make housework less hard and un pleasant,
and II we, the mistresses, would only
spend a little more thought on these mat
ters am sure there would be fewer COM
plants from and about servants.
AT the same time" the lady went on, 81

every duty they have undertaken to per-
form. lfthey engage To black my boots
they have to do II. and do it regularly and
well. But this does not prevent me from
having them in my drawing room afler
dinner and playing II game of whist or any
other game with them. Their lives are,
even under the most favorable circum-
stances, rather monOtonous, and where we
can put little color and brightness into

Then do they take their meals with YOU,
too9" "No; as rule find that they prefer
to take their meals together separately,
and as they have to cook and serve the
meals this is "a more convenient arrange
mont. But otherwise treat them as equals,
and have not found that they abuse this
treatment"
