THE EIGHT HOUR PROBLEM

TOT long ago a wealthy Chi
M cago woman announced that
~ she had solved the much
vexed question of domestic
service. She simply engaged three
sets OF servants. paid them full wages,
and arranged their duties so that
none was busy more than eight hours
out of the TWEEN ty -four. 1t was
merely keeping house on factory prin-
eiples, she said trivnphantly. and she
felt repaid by the smoothness with
which the domestic machinery ran.
and by the consciousness that she
could give q luncheon and a ball In
the same day without having TO face
a kitchen rebellion.

who have never been trained to any
special employment, yet who need
money sadly. Let the housskeeper

ings of Topsy or Bridget seek one of
the women out and make her a
