Mistress and Maid.

Professor Mary Roberts Smith, of
Leland Stanford, Jr., University,
thinks that it is an Extraordinary in
consistency in domestic society that
the dressmaker, the milliner and the
shopwoman may demand respectful!
treatment, while the waitress and the
cook must accept the treatment ac-
corded only to menials."
The cause is 'the liking of human
nature to command its interiors.
Women, especially. do not want in
telligent equals to serve them; they
want an inferior, a subordinate-a
servant, not an employe."
Is not this a condensed expression
of the entire domestic-service prob
lem? The terms mistress" and
"maid" imply not service but servi-
tude. Disguise it as We may, that is
the real truth.
A maid is q luxury. The possession
of such functionary testifes to the
responsibility of the family. Two
maids and we are rising in the world.
Three-we have arrived. Four, five,
six--we are really among the best
people. Such are the distinction of
class, of which the maid is the badge.
Service is voluntary, mutual and
fraternal. Servitude is born of the
"class consciousness, and in spite of
democratic pretense will survive,
acknowledged or unacknowledged,
until the human consciousness es-
tablishes that equality so dear to
optimistic philosophers. When that
blessed day comes mistress and maid
will vanish and in their place will
appear two sisters, serving each other
but not for money.
1t is clear from this that the ques-
ton of ''help" is not practical, and
sensible persons should not talk about
it. Leave it to the professors and
philosophers. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
