THE SERVANT QUESTION.

S0me Mistresses Need Training as
Much ms DO the Maids.
schools for the training Of mistresses
are as much needed as schools for the
training of maids, said woman who
10 actively interested In philanthropic
work and is frequently called upon to
secure places for worthy young women
In search of employment as domestics.
Some of the estimable women who
come to me with tales about the ineffi-
cheney OF servants would probably con-
slider such speech rank heresy on my
part, but hear both sides of the story,
and do not wonder that so many girls
prefer factory and shop life to domestic
service. In the factory or shop they
have certain work to perform In a GER
tain time. Then they are perfectly free
to do as they like.
I'm domestic service the hours of
work are mighty elastic and the hours
Of freedom rigidly defined. and in many
houses where the mistress thinks her
self and is thought by others to be very
charitable and broad minded her serv-
ants lead q life OF drudgery. OF course
there are homes where the mistress Is
treasure and the maids likewise, but
this oft discussed servant problem and
the proposed regeneration and reforma-
ton of the maid is not the one sided
question so many consider it."--Brook-

TIE roo KIND MOTHER.

Nlae Does an Injustice 20 Both Her
SER aud Her Daughters.
1T Is al very well for woman to
look after the interests of her children,
and it is perfectly natural for her to
want to have the best of everything for
them. But If the accomplishing OF
these desires means the mothers giving
up everything that gives her any pleas
ure and making herself merely a fam
lily drudge for the honor and glory Of
her offspring it should not be done.
Many a mother will not buy herself a
new gown for fear she would be taking
money that could be used to better adj
vantage in arraying her daughters IN
festive costumes. Mother doesn't care
about going out anyway, and the girls
do, SO they might just as well have the
things" That is the way it is with
everything. and before very long moth
er arrives at the startling stage of not
having even a company gown for the
house, while the daughters have really
more than they need and make the con-
trast between the appearance of their
| mother and themselves all the more
noticeable than IL they were all dressed
more alike.
The daughters are relieved Of all
household duties that they may keep
their hands in good condition and have
time for learning to appear accom-
plished. Very few girls, If any. can be
brought up this way and still be true
women In the proper meaning Of the
word The too kind mother" is not
nearly so common as she used to be,
and let us hope thatin few more years
she will have passed into utter oblivion
and new mother. who believes IN
equal rights between mother and
daughters, reign in her place Pitts.
