She may wear silk gown that is ages
old, but it is so beautifully kept that it

One rarely sees stout Japanese girls or
matrons; they are very careful of their
slender forms. and this is how they keep
slim: They never eat rich foods and
many confections They are up at sun

Opinions differ as to. whether the baby
should be vacclnated on his arm or leg;
in little girls the scar on the arm Is
often objected to. Before cnildren can
walk about, prefer to vaccinate them
on the leg, for the wound can be more

you pleasantly, you'll buy elsewhere. So
when you are the seller you can afford
to be polite, too. That is all there is
TO the condescension idea, anyhow.
Teaching Cooking.
To teach cooking you must have a
diploma from some school recognized
by the educational department for train
ing I'm those subjects.
Training for plain cooking Is given
now in many Of the public schools. A
list will be furnished you by writing to
of any town or city.
The time of training varies; some OF
the cooking classes are at night to ac-
commodate those who work during the
day. Diplomas are awarded on the re-
suits of examinations at the end of the
course
1t is much easier for women holding
such diplomas to secure work as teach
ers, or even as domestics or housekeep-
ers. than If application is made without
any training. There is great demand
for such students. For teachers in train
ing schools salaries vary from $500 to
$1,000 a year. If you want work go to
the school board and apply. You will
learn there of the schools where cooking
is taught. The profession Of Teacher
of Domestic Economy is the best one
to be adopted by the home girl who
loves cooking and finds she must earn
her own living in some way.
Nursery Maid
AS nursery maid for her children any
intelligent woman wants a very superior
person. Therefore, If you like children
and they like you, why don't you apply
for such work? The grand field for the
rank and file of women is home life. II
you have not home of your own now.
take your trained and disciplined mind
to help some other woman to straignten
out her domestic difficulties.
Never mind IL she, as your employer.

little for doing what she calls menial

ing that nothing is menial that tends to
the betterment OF the human race. Re-
gard your nursery work as educational.
not menial. AS nursery maid. You have
as much to do in training the soul and :
intellect as caring, for the body. No
one can be too good, or know too much,
TO care for baby; but the necessary quail
ffications are general knowledge of the
care OF 1nfantS, duluty 10 nandle lne
needle, adaptability, love of children and
knowledge of the art of character build
ing
One can get nurse girl who viii
work for her board. but many a mother
is willing to pay $40 a month to the right
kind of woman to care for her children
You must be the right kind" II you
get the place. There viii be nothing
menial in your duties. You will be
classed socially with the secretary the
tutor OF the professional nurse. In fact,
nowadays a woman is being classed
more by what she is than by the kind Of
work she does.

Three Sick Room Rules.

Three rules must be borne in mind
as being absolutely necessary before
taking or giving medicine:
Read the label on the bottle.
Shake the bottle before you pour the
mixture out
DO not give a sick person medicine
during the night. unless the doctor mas
told you distinctly to do so.
Even IL the bottle is marked. II Is
safer 70 measure the dose in properly
marked glass than to pour il from the
bottle. trusting to the marks on il.

PERSONAL FREEDOM AND.THE GREAT
MONEY PROBLEM
The Question Of Domestic Service Discussed From Practical Standpoint


sharing the narrowness of her life, the
narrowness Of her resources. Remem-
Der, too. that nothing she will ask you
to do will be of nature that any girl
taught at her own mothers side in an
ordinary American home cannot do well.
Fancy cooking will not be expected
of you. Fancy laundry work Will not be
required. You will have a home, you
will be free from the temptations that
beset girls whose hours are shorter
and If you're honest with yourself, you'll
frankly confess that If you had a hus-
band in your own walk of life. earning
his living by unskilled labor, your day
would be surely longer and much more
wearing because of the responsibility
for making both ends meet; RESPONSE
bility which your employer monopolizes
in her home.
The One Servant.
l have alluded frankly to the social
stigma" on domestic service. 1t exists
only or chiefly among the commonest of
common people. For instance, a girl
knew Of who was the only servant in a
small boarding house, the worst sort of a
place, you will say, was made tempo
rarily unhappy because some other girls
who worked in factory called her
pot wrestler" But to her employer
she was a trusted friend as we'll as a
protege. The mistress delighted in
cutting and making an occasional new
gown for her to wear on Sundays; fixed
up her hats SO that they were nicer
than the factory girls could afford;
cared for her like a mother when she
was sick, helped her to pay her own
familys rent when they were about to
be dispossessed: and had not a particle
of condescension about it all. The mis-
tress' was an educated woman. and one
of good family. 1t was the factory girls
alone who felt the so-called social stig-
ma of domestic service.
/ will not say that every employer
feels the same way. because too many
OF the housekeeping women are them
selves not far from the factory girls
idea of life But I am satisfied you
homes without finding q woman who,
granting that you were faithful and
hard working. would treat you as q self
respecting human being, and make rea-
sonable concessions to your normal wish
for hours of rest and recreation. And
three trials are quickly made I'VE
known girls who could make as many
changes as that In three weeks
There are plenty of good, whole-souled
women who can keep only one servant.
and are pestered by incompetence Try
to look at the thing from their stand
point. and you will find your own prob
lem largely cleared up. II you don't
imagine that they are looking down on
you, they will not imagine that you
are looking up at them. You are selling
labor. They are buying It, The buyer
always expects some sort of considera-
tion from the seller. You expect 1t your
self from the man who sells you two
yards Of ribbon. II he doesn't treat
