Fad foz Seem.

The old prejudice against perfume s has
died out with the passing of musk and
patchouli. Those crude odors, which
made a room sickening after an hour
or so We're considered vulgar, but the
delicate sachets and refined destinations
which have taken their places are more
popular than ever were the musk and
patcnouli. The woman of taste chooses
one favorite odor and sees to that her
soaps, her powders, her creams, her
gowns, her gloves. her curtains, and
her bath are all scented with it The
odor of a single flower, SO popular a
few seasons past. has given place to
Paris connections or mixtures called
bouquets. The most fashionable women
have an exclusive bouquet made to or
der. the secret of which is kept from
all others

AMERICAN IAD|ES' MAIDS
ARE As z RULE INCOMPETENT
They Are Above Their Work and Consequently
Do Not Make Success of 1t

at is almost impossible, said u So
ciety woman, Ito find in America a real
lady's maid. [ mean clever, bright.
refined girl. trained for the work and
competent in her profession. In France
it is different There young women are
brought up from babyhood to fill just
such positions. They do not account
it q disgrace to be a lady's maid; it is
with them an ambition.
The trouble with the American girl
who must work is that she hates and
disdains her work. She does not love it
and make an art of it. She is so anxious
to be what she calls lady herself
that she quite overlooks the advantages
she might acquire by the profession of
lady's maid. She would rather so into
a shop and slave from s to 6. be bullied
by a f1oorwalker and insulted by great
lot of women who are not ladies than
to wait upon any one woman. She
would rather drudge in Il factory for
half the money than to travel over Eu-
rope i'll comfort. with ali her expenses
paid and SO a month in good, cold cash.
| once had an American lady's maid
vino was clever enough, but so ofhcious
and disdainfuI that my brother used to
call her Duchess in Disgust. l never
hired another.
Advantages of the Position.
AS matter of fact. the ladY's maid
has a great many advantages over the
girl who works in shop. I She has. first
of all. much better wages If she under
stands her business. She has good,
comfortable home, and the privilege of
constant association with refined and
intelligent people, from whom she can
learn all those graces of gentiltty which
such a girl may not have had the OPP
portunity to acquire in her home, and
certainly would not acquire in the
burly-burly of a city shop.
Il know of one iady's maid who
speaks French. has studied music, and
bears herself with the gentle dignity or
a woman of the upper classes This
little girl had absolutely no advantages
TO start with except cleverness, common
sense, and ambition. She has travelled
all over Europe, has been to Egypt and
JAPAN has visited, in the company OF
her employer, all the best theaters and
heard all the great singers She mas
lived conforta bly,. and yet has been aDle
to save her money, and possesses quite
a snug sum in bank From her diftef-
ent employers and in the exercise OF her
profession she has learned the art OF
dressing and of making herself lovely
to look upon. She scarcely knew how
to read when. at sixteen, she got her
first position; but she soon learned TINS,
and from having to read to her mis-
tress she has become mistress herSeI1

pensable to the toilet. but they are an
ir jury rather than a benefit If not kept
perfectly clean. They stand washing

some day she Will be more than a LADY
maid. and she will certainly know how

her life i'll a factory she would still be
ignorant, uncouth, and undeveIoped.
Requires Thorough Training,
But TO be a good Iady's maid most
young women should receive thorough
training. So many things are required
of a young person in this capacity that
to enter the profession unframed and
uaskilied means a slow upward climb.
First of all, the lady's maid must IN
deTstand how TO do homework and to
keep room in perfect order She
should be skilled in handling her needle
and able TO mend daintiiy torn laceS
and broken gloves, to sew on hooks and
eyes and buttons and to polish and
clean slippers. She should be some
thing Of a masseuse and should take
few lessons in the art of manipulating
the muscles of the face and body. She
should know how to smooth out wrinkles
and to dust on powder and put on
rouge so that it will not show, Every
ladyS maid should be Il good hardness
eF. A lew months spent as an appreh-
tice in Il hairdreSsing and manlcurlng
establishment is an absolute necessity
to the girl who would be perfect in her
art. She should understand how to
shop. for she must often buy ribbons
and gloves for her employer. If she is
a good reader she can double her sal
airy, for Il lady's maid who can be q
companion and can read to one intel
lightly is considered a jewel.
IF one is not naturally anxious to
please. willing and obliging, she had
better not attempt TO become a lady
maid: though. for the matter of that
she will succeed in no business or pro-
fession without these qualities.
Should Know How to Dress.
Last, but not least, a lady's maid
should know how to dress, not fash
ionabiy, but neatly. She should keep
her figure trim and wear black gown
and a white apron with the air of
duchess. Her finger nails, hair, and
feet should always be very dainty.
There are so many advantages to be
gained from such a position that it is a
wonder the profession is not oVercrOWd-
ed with good talent The great trouble
is that the American working girl con-
siderS herself above her position, while
the French working girl, on the other
hand, raises her work to the level of an
art. The American girl would rather
work for a hundred women at So a week
in a manicuring establishment than to
work for one woman at twice the salary
in the retirement and refinement of a
quiet home. 1t is a distorted view of
life which she takes, aTi;f by which she
loses so many of the good things that
come the way of the girl who loves and
respects her work.
