MatrOn and Graduate Maid.

For some time Chicago has been the
centre of concentrated thought on the
domestic problem the problem Of
getting and keeping efficient household
servants. There many movements for
the elevation of the kitchen have moved
or baked. The downstairs divinities
have been propitiated by means Of
musical and literary entertainments
and dancing parties, and have been
urged TO read papers on Culinary
Science in Browning the poet and not
the potatoes Employers have sought
10 establish an improved modus rirsndi
between parlor and kitchen. Employees
have formed clubs and laid down iron
rules for the regulation of employers.
Chicago is largely composed of women's
clubs: and these have been discussing
projects for a little moro Emancipation
of servants and little more emancipa-
ton Of the lady of the house. Perhaps
not very much has been done, but a
great deal has been said; and talk is
comforting to the talker.
The Chicago Housewives Association Is
one Of the most active mancipators and
emancipatOrs. 1t is notable and busy,
a. a housewife should be. II has now
formed an ultimate or, at least, penulti-
mate plan. In the first place. the assoc
ciation understands the deep-scated
and mystical power Of names. If better
servants are needed, how can better
servants be had? By giving them a
better name, the association answers.
Henceforth the draggled terms, do
nestle" servant" girl, must be
heard no more. The lady downstairs
will be maid and maid only. This
is the proper title now, we believe; but
wo shall miss that excellent phrase,
hired girl =; also help
The naughty and presumptuous title
mistress IL not to be used longer
The Chicago Housewives move to amend
by substituting matron,' term as
respectable and imposing as the die
tionary.
Maids will be divided into cooks
waiting maids, ladies' maids and
laundresses"; and the greatest of these
, are the cooks, by large majority.
Hereafter only maids who hold d.
plomas on real parchment issued by
the association can get jobs in the house.

says, we have graduate nurses to look
after us when We are sick; why shouldn't
we have graduate maids to look after
us when we are well?" Analogies are
often treacherous, but the argument is
impressive. When maid has lived in
one family for year and has done her
work with certain proficiency, she will
be entitled to diploma certifying the
degree of proficiency attained. The three
degrees or states after proof will be
marked IA satisfactory, good re-
markably efficient These correspond

may not come in crowds.

there is a section of New Zealand
people to whom Mr.. Seldom is ''Kine
Dick" derisively. and he has had tc
fight through many bitter politi
cal campaign. The best proof of his
popularity with the majority, how
ever, is that he has held the pre-
miership for IL years.
The man who has risen from
''bottle-washer" to 'chief cook is
rugged and burly and looks rather
oddly in court dress. He is especial
ly fond of telling how he owes his
life to a brass band. 'As a boy"
he says, 81 once came very near
drowning. A passing bandsman no
tieed my frantic struggles in the
river and, reaching his long from
bone over the shores edge. he pulled
me. gasping and grateful. out of
the water on to dry land. I have
encouraged brass bands ever SINCE
When it was reported that he was
to give up the New Zealand pre-
miership and become governor of the
Orange River Colony, he said: "When
L leave New Zealand for good it will
be for Heaven"
Mr.. Seldom may, however. be in
duced to change his plans, for it is
rumored that pressure viii be
brought to bear on him from high
quarters to persuade him to give up
the New Zealand premiership and
take some important post in Lon
don, there being a growing feeling
that the more strong shoulders that
can be got against the government
wheel the better it will be for the
country.

AuNTIE.

FFhen auntie comes to see us, then we have
to stand around.
Us children hate to have her come, jes' on
account of that.
We've got to set still an behave an never
make a sound,
An when we come indoors to wipe our
feet upon the mat.
The house is scrubbed so awful clean we
mustn't make a track,
An we're scrubbed, too. tell you, till 1t
most takes off the bark.
When auntie goes away We wish she never
would come back,
For while she's here to see US we jes'
have to toe the mark
When auntie comes to see us then we have
good things to eat,
We sort o. like to have her here, jes' on
account o. that;
An. pa. he always says a great long grace
before the meat
An gives her the best slices an don't
make her eat the fat.
He's awful funny an perlite, is pa, when
auntie's here,
An ma she calls us darling n she
gives us twice o. pie;
An pa an ma, when auntie's here, they
call each other dear
But when she goes away they don't do
that. wonder why?
When auntie comes to see us it's like Sun
day every day.
It's funny that it should be so jes' on ac-
count o. that.
She's cross an kinder fussy, but she's rich
as mud, they say;
An nobody to leave it to, unless it is her
When asIntis. comes then pa an ma seem
dckled most to death,
An when she talks of going they say:

breast). Another matter that Nine. WI
disapproves of, is the dress of our
women; especially the decollete
style, and the suggestive and uncom-
Portable tightness.
WI Ting Fang is about so years old.
He was born near Canton, and in that
city received his early education. He
studied English at Hong-Kong, in
which commercial center his father
was engaged in mercantile pursuits.
In his experience in business life, WI
realized that the Chinese were often
at disadvantage when competing
with the English. owing to their ig-
norance of English law and language;
and he felt that some Cinnamon, for
the good of their countrymen, should
become familiar with both. In 1874
he went to England, and after ardu-
Gus study there become a barrister.
On his return home he practiced law
in Hong-Kong.
Several services he was able to per-
form for his country brought him into
prominence, and in 1897 he was APP
pointed minister plenipotentiary and
envoy extraordinary to the United
States, Spain, Mexico and Peru. He
has been kept pretty busy with Amer
ican-Chinese affairs since assuming his
duties as minister to this country;
sometimes called upon to explain Chi
nese actions, and again interceding on
behalf of justice to his countrymen.
He has also found time to make visit
| to Spain, and to make a treaty OF
| friendship with Mexico. From the
| first. Minister WI has been approach
able; treating all, reporters included,
with much suavity. He is eminently
good-natured and is immensely popu-
! lar. WI, who has a considerable for
| tune of his own, has been one of the
most lavish entertainers in Washing
| ton.
WI is a marvel of energy, wants to
know something about every thing- As
| a diplomat, he has proven himself
| both willy and bland. Society has not
| found him unmindful of her claims.
| Periodicals whose policy isVell known
| in regard to having only tSicles writ
ten by authorities, have been glad to
| class WI among their contributors.
University men have sat in the audi
| torium and listened respectfully and
attentively to words of wisdom from
Wu's lips. The University of Pennsyl-
| vania conferred upon him the degree
| of Doctor of Laws. WI Ting Fang has
made himself felt in our national life.
