longed to know what thoughts were in the
childish brain to soften and deepen the dark
eyes, when Edith turned her sweet face and
asked, Mamma, do you chew your pud-
ding?"
A woman of culture, says the New York
Recorder, who was once wealthy, hires all
the servants Mrs William K Vanderbilt
employs in her different establish msnts
The fresh retinue OF servants re quired for
the Vanderbilts' marble palace at Newport
were employed by this gentiewoman. who
has the keen discernment necessary in Juds-
ing of efficient servants.
She was fine houskeepcr when mistress
of her own home. A fine housekesper In
America is SYNONYMOUS with "a good serv
ant trainer and Mrs. Vanderbilt, knowing
her friends ability TO find and keep capable
attendants, suggested the idea TO Der to
do it for few rich families who were will
ing to pay a fair remuneration for being re-
lieved Of the trouble and time involved IN
finding the right rulers for below stairs. "
The lady who hires the servants is alert to
hear of good ones. Size patroDiZss the best
Intelligence offices. No one suspects she is
not grande dame, weighted with wealth
and burdened with leisure. She drives in
carriage. and is always attired In neat
gown, simple in make, but superb in fit
and she looks, what she is-a thoroughbred

A widow, left on her own resources, has
built up profitable business in this city by
sys;e matte houssclsaning. She has her
clientele among the rich who have CITY and
country homes. The grand dame who
wishes to leave her town residence for her
country villa does SO with as little concern
as if she were going to q matinee.
The housecleaner takes possession of the
house, puts her corps OF upholsters, carpet
cleaners and meoders at work. Draperies
are taken down, bric-a-brac is packed away
and the house is thoroughly cleaned-cor
ners dug out and every room made square.
The furniture is covered. The furs are
carefully attended TO, and, il necessary, the
mat resses arc picked, " and by a new proc
ess of cleaning, the feather pillows are
washed aud made sweet and fresh. When
every thing has been see to, the house is
closed up and left undIsturbed until fall,
when the housecleaner is requested to get it
in readiness for the home coming of the
family.
The country house. vacated, is thsn taken
in charge to be cleaned, put in order and
closed for the winter season.
With few town houses under her super
vision, the housscleauer manages TO earn
good living. She charges high for her work,
but her patrons are able to pay her prices.
A thorough knowledge of housekeeping and
the ability to superintend number of
people in different kinds of work are
signally necessary to make the business OF
systematic hOusecleaning a success. The
woman who does II is making a brilliant
success and enjoys the work so thoroughly
that she feels every house she cleans is her
own-and, consequently, her real estate is
immense.
Residing in bed says the New York
Tribune, is supposed to be injurious to the
eyes on account of the recumb9nt position.

as it is in bed yet no one suggests that it is
bad for the eyes in any way to read at ones
ease The real difficulty in this reading Ia
the light. Beds are generally SO placed that
the eyes are Shielded from the glare of the
windows, and the single candle by which
night readers are lighted is generally quite
insufficient TO prevent a certain amount Of

''is undoubtedly the reason that reading in

reading In bed for one with a strong sight

Plain India muslins have reappeared with
embroidered borders in collors, and lighter
than the popular wool crspoas are the
oreped India silks and vapsrous creped silk
muslins that are used both for afternoon
and evening toilets. For the former uses the
gowns are very frequently finished with
short, gathered capes made of the dress
material. Others have added capes of
green. cream or Vandyke red surah, the en-
tire cape and COLLAR finished with pinked
edges.

keeper recently In the New York Times
that this age of special service has not
evolved an occupation OF fruit preserving

who will put up your fruit for you at their
own places, furnishing everything. but the
rates are very high, aud the fruit sold at the

'It is curious" remarked man to the
New York Times, who spends much time 10
London that while American mothers are
bringing up their daughters as nearly on
the model Of the English girl as possible,
REFRESHING them at every step and preaching
the solidity of good form morning, noon
and night, English mothers. on the contrary,
are encouraging their daughters to initiate
the sprightliness of American women.
Fortunately, it will take good many
generations of severe training to evolve the
prototype Of the average English girl out Of
my young country IN fact, it is
ever possible, which doubt. The environ
ment is so different, and the material TO
work upon so very dissimilar that dupli-
cate result Is hardly TO be feared.
