I will not tolerate untidiness in per-
son or dress, nor unkept hair at any
hour of the day, but find that few
words of praise accomplish more than
much of general remark. Thus l may
say to my help: "How pretty your fresh
calico looks - or ''I'm SO glad you never
wear old slippers" and | find that such
remarks are long remembered. | do
not require a servant to wear a cap or
any other uniform or livery if it is dis
tasteful to her. Recollecting how much
of a trial to myself has been the wear
ing of some article that dislike, | will
not add needless discomfort to SER
wants life"
"Then never scold. If the work is
not we'll done | show the maid what
does not suit me-, or explain to her
better way Neither do blame unduly
for broken dishes and torn clothing.
Such things happen under the best CT
care. But I do require all accidents to
be at once reported, so that may know
Just the condition of my pantry or ward
robe. [ think that few servants are
wifully careless, and scolding only
makes them assume a very trying air
of bravado as they feel the injustice of
Censure."
Yes, when kind word rightlyspoke en-
would have been of decidedly more
weight.
l respect their religious views what
ever they may be, and arrange mat

service at some fixed place.
| trust them, no. keeping every thing
under lock and key as if thought they
were watching chance to steal, and,
so far as I know, have never lost the
smallest trife by the dishonesty of a
servant.
When my children wish any special
service they are required to ask it cour-
teously and not demand it, though ex-
pect reasonable requests to be attended
to.
Lastly, as ! never had servant Who
liked to be called by that word I never
use the word Servant" in their hear
ing. According to the neighborhood
custom, or their own preference, they
speak of each other as "help," or
"girls," and generally speak of ser-
vice in families as ''living out" If the
use of any of these words seems better
to satisfy their sense of independence l
like to crafty them.
With me housekeeping has been a
long pleasure; when illness, or absence
