children ma servant..

Perhaps there is no greater source Of
friction in household with servants
than the habit of allowing the children
Of the family to be impertinent and
tyrannicaL This should never be per-
mltted. Nothing is more III bred and
more disastrous to both. Servants must
do great deal of extra work where
there are children in the house. 1t is
impossible to arrange matters 80 thnt
this will not be true, and the least that
can be done is to have the children
courteous in manner and speech. II
children see their parents polite. it will
be second nature for them to be polite
also, and their rare lapses will be for
given quickly. Every one agrees that
servants should not be permitted to
punish children or be unkind to them,
but children should not be permitted
to torment servant, and parents who
excuse it are responsible for their own
discomfort. Neither should children be
allowed to bring disorder into Kitchen
or to dirty 1t wtlfully.-Agnes Bailey
Ormsbee in Woman's Home Compan-
