trained nurses and his six servants.
This may seem a surprising number,
but you must remember. as every
housekeeper knows, that servants be-
get servants. The more you have the
more you need. All these servants re-

for instance. They never do. not even
in the households Of poorer folks Each
servant has her own special function
for which she is responsible to one or
the other Of the trained nurses: the
valet has his line of duties as the
trained nurses have theirs: all of them
are under the direction of the govern
ess who, in her turn. is accountable
TO the special physician.

plain as the life of this ten-miIlion-

agreed that it is as important that he
should be properly amused as that he
should be properly fed and fumigated.
