THE MAID AND HER PRIVILEGES
BY MARGARET E. SANGTTER


I ROM time to time congresses of wo-
men. who have converged to a
central point via the drawing room
car. women who wear beautiful gowns
and ravishiUg bOnnets. and VINO look
as If they Jared sumptueusly every
day, have considered the servant prob
iem- Their motives are altTuistic their
discussions are clever, the speakers are
matrous Of poise and dignity, whose
deliberations are conducted on strict
parliamentary lines. Far be it from
the woman who keeps house with one
maid TO depreca1e the conclusions of
the woman who orders her establish
ment with the aid of a butler, a foot
man, a coachman, a gardener, a cook
a parlor maid, a waitress, a scullery
maid and several other functionaries
The woman with one maid is affected,
however, much more seriously by the
results Of the woman's congress on do
nestle affairs than is the woman with
dozen servants. There are ca good
many more Of Number One than there
are OF. Number Two. For every such
congress there are a hundred little
conclaves below stairs which have
much to do with the comfort of the
simple householder. Nora happens in
70 have a chat with Bridget, and the
two, not possessing vast resources as
10 topics OF conversation, naturally
talk over the affairs that Immediately,
concern them.
In q thousand tenement homes and
modest little cottages on back streets
the privileges CT the maid are matters
of great concern. The maids after
noon out is the gala day Of the fort
night for the honest people with whom
hl har . F@
mentary Oh our management that very
few maids ever think of the place
where they live and work as home. A
smouldering hostility is much more apt
TO obtain between kitchen and parlor
than a wholesome friendliness. our
women's congresses should really set
about seeing whence this condition
comes, and should offer a remedy. Up
10 this date the most advanced stu
dents of sociological problems have
done nothing practical or helpful in
this particular situation.
The maid hears fine ladies say. or
hears that they say, that her day of
homework should begin and end
definitely with certain fixed hours. She
is told that she has rights which have
been trampled upon; che is informed
that for every little extra she should
receive compensation, also extra. Not
having trained Diind, she assimilates
the advice badly. and much trouble
comes OF it, particularly in suburban
households.
For example. a lady living a few
miles from q large town not long ago
invited her father and mother to spend
a Sunday with her. She personally pre-
paJSG the guest room, made the dessert
and arranged everything for the re-
ception OF her dear ones. Not a straw
was added to the maids usual burdens,
nor step required OF her beyond the
steps she ordinarily took in ner daily
routine. Two plates and two cups
more were set upon the table. and that

Secular Side of Churches.
Leslie's Monthlyl

A young minister was called a few
years ago to a church in a thriving
eastern city. His predecessor had been
a well known preacher whose sermons
had attracted large congregations, but
whose expressed belief was that the
clergyman's single duty was the spir-
itual welfare Of his people. The church
had failed TO meet current expenses
for several years, and its considerable
debt was increasing with mechanical
regularity. The newcomer was not a

Moths-These may be prevented
by the use of moth balls or bags

Tne way to Fight

The papers all over the country
that are receiving the support of
their home merchants are crusading
against the catalogue houses that
are endeavoring to put the trade Of
the country into hands Of a few
large concerns, and cause death to
trade competition. The only way
the only way this war can be car
ried to a successful end is for the
smaller business houses to advertise.
The sooner the merchants see that
the only successful method of dong
business is to advertise regularly the
quicker the enormous business done
by the catalogue houses in the cit
les, a be wrested from them and
placed in the hands Of those TO
whom it righttuIly belongs. The
trouble with many merchants is that
they don't understand the efficiency
of advertising and think that eco
nomic advertising is but the expend-
iture OF a smaller amount of money
in advertising and look upon money
in advertising as a donation rather
than an investment from which rs-
turns shall be derived. The quick
er they are made to see their mis-
take the sooner the cure shall be eff
fected. If you can't see where adj
vertising pays. let the other fellow.

chlneh Bur Dlsease a Fannre.

A series of original experiments
by the University OF Missouri has
proved conclusively that the practice
Of spreading diseased chinch bugs
among the healthy ones in infested
fields does little if anything towards
preventing the rayages Of this de-
s,ruciive little pest. The EnTom-
ologist who has conducted the ex-
periments places part Of the blame
for the failure of this remedy that
once promised so much upon the
farmer himself.
1.-THE persons receiving these
bugs" he says, ''were supposed to
place them ! n boxes similar to ours
and keep them under similar con-
ditions until they became thorough
~ diseased and then scatter them
throughout the wheat aud corn
fields. AS a matter OF fact, each Of
the seven years that ! have eondue.

that over oalf the farmers DO not 20

disease but SIMPLY scatter IN the

them.'
