The Gambling" process consists in
looking through the egg at light, or
holding it between you and the sun.
If it shows up clear and spotless, so

The Hired Girl.

The discussion of the servant
girl question" has become so one
sided that it is well TO call
halt and try to even up mat
tiers, says "Boston Budget" Surely,
the shortcomings can not be all on the
side of the maid; there must be few
for which the mistress is guilty. Each
should realize that there is room for
Improvement, and that the best way
to accomplish the most work and rele-
gate the domestic problem to the back
ground is by combining the peculiar
and individual abilities Of one with
those of the other. Both the mistress
and the maid should bear in mind that
the secret of happy results in the
household lies in unity of purpose and
mutual obligations. They should re
member that while managing house
hold they are managing peculiarly
organized business, and that evenness
of temper and pleasant mutual rela-
tionship nre absolutely necessary.
In too many homes nowadays faith
fulness on the part of the maid is un-
appreciated by the mistress The maid,
on the other hand, should be willing
to receive instruction patiently. AS a
rule, she is young, with lack Of mature
judgment and experience, but If she
falls into the hands of mistress who
has patience and ability to instruct, she
will not only be an apt and eager pupil,
but will also bestow obedience, respect
and esteem. women blessed with
homes of their own" says the "Fouse-
keeper" SHOULD have womanly in
terest in all young creatures who have
to face the world and labor to suit
every ones within in the house, with
out the privilege or power to mold
surroundings. The life is hard enough
without unjust eXaction. Women who
themselves can not prepare whole
some meal are often fastidiously ex-
acting. and expect maid to know in
tuitively just the thing that they
WISH which is sometimes moro than
they themselves could define. Every
housekceper who has young girl serv
ing her has an opportunity to aid
in that girls education; she can be her
good friend and adviser Us well as the
administrative mistress. In nine cases
out of ten the maid will respond with
faithful underst lnding and good will.
And again: "A kind word may be as
instructive as harsh one. Common
dation may show what pleases, as
readily as criticism can express dissat-
isfaction; and when the mistress says
well DONE let it be an incentive to
the maid to sustain the standard win
ming the commenda ton. When honest
effort has accomplished good results
let the kind word be spoken"
