CHAPTER XVIII.
The Advertisement.

Next morning a party of three were
assembled at breakfast.
You don't seem to have much OF
an appetite this morning. remarked
DIR. Cartwright, addressing his host,
who appeared rather %distraughi with
a tendency to start when spoken TO,
"How's that?'
The young mar replied, as l." fd'

he didn't seem to care to est any

AZ this moment there was al inter
ruption. A maid presented herself
with a letter which had just come by
hand. and gave it to her young mas
ter. stating at the same time, that the
bearer was waiting for an answer.
A letter! and come by hand! He
started again as though he had been
shot. and the doctor noticed that his
hand1went up to the breast pocket
of his coat, as though there were
something there he The doctor shook
his head as he made this observation.

that mistrcsses cannot manag serv.

manage one another?

| could easily find fifty reasons to &C.
count for It. The mistress who over.
works. the mistress who u%nderworks
the mistress who IL unkind, the mis-.
tress who Is too kind. the mistress
who Is too strict. the mistress who is
not strict enough, the mistress who
makes favoritcs, etc. etc, would all
prove fruitful subjects to enlarge upon
were they not too obvious. The @
marlkable thing about the whole ques
ton is, that though money will Sc
cure you everything on the earth, no
amount of wages Will induce serv,
ants, as a rule, to stop long In a place.
II is a mistake to imagine that serv.
ants are Independent and love Ia
roam. As a matter OF fact, they are
terrified To leave, because they new
know what character a spiteful mis-
tress may give them. and one bad
character means the street. II Is the
haunting fear OF this which makes
them, II possible give notice, before
they receive II, for this is their only
protection. Is 1t natural To suppose
that any friendless, and homeless, and
moneyless creature willingly leaves q
good roof. good food, and good wages,
to run the chance of meeting a worse
mistress? The thing is absurd, for
the motto of servants is the not very
lofty n of Gervaise:

to work all their lives, to die in theiI
beds, and be buried %decently."

Later in the morning he paid a visit
to the lady of the house. She sat IN
in bed to receive him, with her Indian
shawl over her shoulders. and allowed
him to feel her pulse in the f~riendliest
possible way. But when DR.. Cart

The door banged again and he was
gone. A few moments later his sister
crossed the hall.
II wonder what the doctors doing?"
she said. ut is very rude of us to
leave him to himself in this way.
What's that"
Her eye had been caught by some
thing white, lying on the mat at her
fee;. She picked it up and saw that
1t was a letter, the contents of which
merely consisted of a couple of lines,
as follows:

But this fact remains. We are as
much indebted to servants for the
comforts Of home life as we are to
our wives and daughters. The only

that some of rs are allowed to try

and some OF us succeed. but none of

thing is that we can get rid OF our
servants, but not OF our wives and
daughters. who, | candidly believe, are
really the most to blame. though, poor

resses, factory girls, and all sorts OF

but men cannot stop at home to man
age servants, and If they could, they
could not prevent their wives and
daughters from interfering. The ques.
ton is: What is to be done so that
We may live in peace when our days
work Is done?
1t looks like an impasse, but 1t Is
not. The larger proportion of serv-
ants are women. therefore it is women
we have TO deal with. The real rem
edy is to promptly sack all your wom-

able to teach them. Men can teach
themselves to cook in a very short
time, and all the rest is child's play.
Yes, the solution OF the servant Ques.
ton is to get rid of your women sery-
ants, engage men, and make them en-
tirely answorable to yourselves. Men
servants will cost a little more, but
