HOUSEKEEPING IN: CHINA

Excepting house in China is delightful said the
wife Of an American army officer who has just re-
turned from the far east. 'tWe had lovely little
about the servant problem and you don have to keep
continual watch on tho want columns Of the
papers for fear your hired girl will leave you sud
denly.'
The truth is, however, that your 'hired girl" is
really boy, says Interior Decoration, for very few
Chinese women do any work outside of their own
e
may be hired for almost nothing, that most for
egners have anywhere from six to eight employees
about the house. One Of these Is promoted to the posi-
ton Of 'butler," and he Is the only with whom
you have any direct dealings. All your go to

the mistress This butler is the responsible head Of
the domestic staff and be depended upon to take
Of everything and to get the proper amount Of
work out Of the other servants.
