caps and aprons. While sweeping and
busting they wear colored caps. Dark
dresses are worn in the morning, but
are changed in the afternoon for taste
full light gowns of print. Twice a week
they are given instruction in the gym
nasium, and this they enjoy very much.
One afternoon and one evening of each
week each girl has to herself, the time
for recreation thus allowed being the
same that would be granted to hen IN
actual household service. Once week
they are all taken by the superintendent
to see something of interest in the city,
such as the museums, the charity
schools, etc. In the winter time they
are frequently taken to concerts or SIM
liar places of amusement, and in the
summer there are occasional picnics
None of their work is utilized in the
boarding and lodging house department
except in the taking care of the board
ers' rooms and the bathrooms. Girls
who are beginning in chamber work are
assigned to this duty, and later in the
course, when they have become more ex-
pert and careful, are intrusted with tho
care of the more deliberately furnished
rooms of the officers. They care for all
the bathrooms, because there are only
five in the house, and they need to learn
that sort of work. One reason for their
unemployment in doing the necessary
work of the institution has already been
explained. Another lies in the fact that
if they were they would be apt to sus-
pect that they are being used for profit
by the Young Woman's Christian asso-
citation instead of being taught domestic
homework free of cost.
For the year ending March 4, 1895,
so girls were graduated, and every one
of them secured a place at once at
wages varying from S. so to So week.
These rates, it will be observed, are
considerably in advance of the average
wages received by domestics, and every
girl who accepts the privileges of the
school is guaranteed a situation if she
remains for the entire six months
| Nearly 700 have been graduated since
| the foundation of the institution. An
applicant, to be sure of admittance,
must be more than 16 years old and have
| good references as to her character. She
must agree to remain three months, and
if she leaves before that time has ex-
pired without good and sufficient rea-
son is charged 81 week for the time
she remained. This course has been
adopted in order to insure that all who
leave the institution shall be taught
enough to prevent their bringing dis
credit upon the school.

lodged. He watched the paper for some

The operator told him the message
was already at its destination. But that

determined to let it be known.

to keep the table linen spotless. The
glassware, for instance, is washed with
cold water instead of with hot, as the
manner of come is, and if there is
stain upon the cloth it is at once and
entirely removed by slipping an empty
bowl under the spread and passing
scalding hot water through the fabric,
which in that way is made as white and
unstained as when it left the laundry.
This is wrinkle that no doubt will be
new to some Of my women readers.
The pupils sleep in really pretty and
comfortable rooms upon an upper floor
of the building, and there they have
some time to themselves, though not a
great deal, for it is the purpose of the
schools managers during the six months
over which the course extends to ground
the girls thoroughly in the practicali-
ties of domestic service, and it is real
lied that q half year Is none too long
time to devote to that purpose. With
out going further into details concern
ing the purely domestic part of the
training, it is quite proper here to men
ton briefly the subjects included in the
complete course. They are cooking and
serving. general homework, chamber
work, parlor work, laundry work, sew
ing and mending.
Outside of the purely domestic course
lessons are given in reading and SPELL
ing, penmanship and letter writinz,
arithmetic and geography. Besides
there is d daily Scripture lesson. The
very first thing new pupils are taught
is the care of woodwork, the best way
of cleaning it, how to wash it always,
the way of the grain, etc. Then they
are initiated into the mysteries of stain
ing and waxing a floor, how to darker
woodwork when it has ''worn light, "
as it will sometimes, and SO on. All
this information is impaired in the lee
lures before mentioned, of which the
pupils are required to make notes. To
one not acquainted with the working
of the school this would seem to be q
strange proceeding, inas1nuch as large
percentage of the pupils are quite ig
norant Of the English language when
they enter this institution. Bearing
this in mind, the reader will understand
that one of the most important pur
poses of the school is the teaching of
English, and this is greatly facilitated
by this plan of notemaking at the very
first lecture. OF course an interpreter IS
necessary to explain the lectures to nom
English speaking pupils, but they must
make their notes in English and are
helped to do SO by the teacher, who
writes upon the blackboard the things
she wishes them to copy in their books.
1t is remarkable how well they do this
and how serviceable they find these
copied notes at later period, when
they can read and understand them.
The oral instruction is followed by OBJ
ject lessons, of course-that is, the teach
er herself does all things she requires
the pupils to do, and they are then re-
CURED to initiate her closely.
The homework lessons only require
six hours each day. In the afternoon

there is a well supplied china closet

necessary to set the table of a well regu-

upon by the managers of the school is
that the table shall not be set in the
