Have n Sc wing Room.

The wise housewife is she who would
rather dispense with reception room
and have sewing room than vice
versa. The sewing room does not need
to be large. 1t must not contain carpets
or upholstered furniture. The floor
should be stained and vanished, SO
that the daily brushing up may be cas-
lily accomplished. There should be
hooks on the wall, from which the
piece-bags should hang. Several shelves
are necessary, where boxes containing
buttons, trimmings, findings, patterns
and the like should be kept. A lapboard,
an armless rocklng-chair, dress form
and big closet for unfinished work are
other necessaries. The machine should
be placed in a strong light, and there
should be long mirror, in which the
hang" Of skirt may be viewed with
ease.

Reasons for Preferriny the Shop.


The Wisconsin State Labor Bureau
has been collecting reasons why girls
prefer working In factories and stores
to household service. Inquiries were
sent to 100 persons, says a Chicago
newspaper. Among the answers were
these:
"If ladies would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment, and warm
er beds and let them live Independently
more girls would do homework"
II went into factory because |
wished to be treated like human be-
Ing"
The reason won't do housework
Is because l won't be treated like half
a slave and always a nobody"
II love housework, but, like the host
of other girls, refuse to do it under
present conditions"
"None of the girls l know would do
housework because girl who does 1t
is always looked upon as kitchen
drudge. always on duty and seldom
treated justly"
Il am treated better in the factory
in every way. and, besides, l am no
longer obliged to entertain In the
kitchen or receive my friends at the
back door, since l can live at home
with my own people,"
There is no sign in these replies of an
insistence on the part Of servants that
they be regarded as members of the
family. They desire as little to lntrude
on other circles as they wish for intru-
sion upon their own. But they complain
justly when the fact Of social dlstinc-
lions is thrust upon them with bald bru-
tally. The Wisconsin answers, which
would probably be good for any other
State, suggest that upon the untactful
mistress Of the house lies large bur-
den Of responsibility for 1.-The servant
