Rather a common sight in these autumn
days on Long island roads is a queer
procession Of carriages and station
wagons and autos conveying light bag

get into the great trunks and boxes; and
for passengers the servants, a little COM
pany held in decorous silence by awe of
the housekeeper's aIl-seeing eye.
For the housekeeper, the butler. the
cock and the valet and the lads maid,
the aristoeraey of this little under
world of serving people. are very great
servants to wait upon them. Nor do they

special church service for their servants.
Thus religious and social opportunities
tend to brighten their lot.
But the great permanent households

are the trained nurses, whom it is now

young children.
The average unskil1ed lower servant

chambermaid or under Waitress-some-
times finds life in a great household
pleasant for its human companionship;
sometimes she dislikes the auarreIing

of the time, and 1t is hard upon the mod
