New York Servant Rcvcngcs Herself
Upon Unkind Employer.
The New York servant has found a
way Of revenging herself upon an un.
kind mistress. The plan Is not original,
but II works satisfactorily. 1t explains
why some women can only keep ser.
want for few days. The scheme Is
simple. The departing domestic writes
her opinion of her employer In some
hidden nook or Granny, either In the
Kitchen or In her own room. The new
domestic finds this communication. She
profits by 1t. Inquiry at an employ
ment agency on Sixth avenue revealed
that this scheme was generally prac.
tIced.
'It Is no more than could be expect.
cd" said the manager of the agency,
"that girl who leaves a place In a
rage against her mistress. as many Of
them do, should want to have a word
TO say 10 the next servant that comes
in. Its an easy matter to leave q line
where the newcomer will find IL. One
woman told me that on the wall at the
head or her servants bed she found a
penciled line. The mistress here has

a place the other day came back in
few hours. When | asked her what
was the matter, she said: i didn't like
the missus' references. They wasn't
as good as mine I knew what she
meant, and I've told the housewife In
question that she had better rub out
the notice that her departing maid left.
'The plan was perhaps suggested by
fhe Chinese servants in San Francisco.
Their method was to leave few hero.
