SERVANT GIRLS
QUESTION NEEDS SHAKING UP.

Situation Here Abnormai.-Desradin
Conditions Must Be Removed.-Do-
mestie Service Must Be Brought
Up to the Standard of Other Occu-
pations.
There's got to be shaking up in
the servant question In this country.
and shall strive to do my humble part
of the shaking
This Is the conclusion Miss Elizabeth
Banks has reached after several
weeks observation, Miss Banks has
devoted the last eleven years to the
study of the servant problem in Eng
land, and is the author of several
books on the subject, that are looked
upon as alternative.
In 1893 she spent many monts as a
servant in various families in England
and used her experience as the ground
work for subsequent work. Now she
has come to America to study the situ-
alton here with the view of writing
another book. She treats the subject
in practical way.
In this country we find an abnor-
NAL condition of things" she said
'oAhVctit i'' Itlt must bt put Ou
a par with other work What we
need is schools where girls may be
properly fitted for domestic work and
whereby that work may be dignified. |
have heard a great deal about the Do
nestle Guide of America, recently es-
tablished in New York, and have come
on here from California to learn more
about 1t. From what | have heard, I
believe it is very important step in
the right direction"
But do you believe domestic SER
vice can be brought up to the standard
of other occupations for women in this
country"
why not?" she said Does a sensi-
BILE man look down upon his wife be-
cause he finds her at work in the
kitchen? Certainly not. and if condi-
tions were right he would not shun her
because she worked there before she
was married. | would take. housework
in preference to stenography and type
writing.
1T is the natural attitude of every
sensible girl to want to get married
and make her own home, and just here
comes the most serious questions Of
all. Many girls will tell you they
shrink from domestic service because
they cannot see their young men
friends except in the kitchen. That
hurts their pride and that is one of
the conditions that need shaking up.
The abuse Of the tipping system
here also needs reform. My theory is
that an intelligent, skillful servant is
Just as good as anybody else until he
or she accepts tips. That is letting
down from higher standard of the in.
dependent workman

WELL WORTH SEEING

One of the most interesting exhibits
among the many of all kinds st the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition IN st. Louis is
that Of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, of New Haven, Conn, manu-
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness aud was opened on the
first day of the fair q fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date
methods of the company behind il. 1t is
the aim Of the Winchester Repeating A rms
Company to show at their exhibit the high
development which they have reached in
the making Of guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to see the exhibit to realize
how near to perfection that development
has come. There can be seen the new auto
matte repeating rifle, all kinds Of shotguns,
the modern smOkeless powder shotgun
shells and rifle cartridges; in fact every
thing that can interest the devotees OF
hunting and trap and target shooting.
Don't fail to SEQ the exhibit at the Manu-.
facturers and Fish and Game Buildings.
Its well worth your whiis.
