A WISE HOUSEKEEPER.
She Mixes Brains with Humanity In
Dealing with Her servant.

WIN
Brains and humanity-those are two
qualities every man and woman needs
to possess before it is given to either
of them to have supervision over
others.
The wise housekceper starts out with
a servant in perfect understanding.
she let's the girl know what is ex-
pected of her, and she keeps faith
with that girl in any promises she
may make.
She does not begin by saying, ITS
just nothing at all to do the work
here" and then bring four women in
to luncheon on ironing day.
She realizes that the kitchen is the
most important room in her house and
that when she has everything there
running smoothly the rest of house
keeping is a sweet and simple dream.
She realizes that the person who
feeds Il family acccptably and keeps it
comfortable 800 days in the year Is en-
titled to some consideration.
Therefore she sees that there is Il
comfortable room, with plenty of air,
a good bed, CHEEKY, pleasant, home
like place, ready for the girl when
her work is done.
She arranges her work systematical-
ly.
1t is a woman like this that keeps the
same help in her home for years and
makes them say of her, "She's a real
lady. she is"
The girls say that lack of considera-
ton on the part of the women who en-
ploy them is the reason for the revolt
against unspecialized homework.
They say that the general homework
girl Is supposed to combine the duties
of cook, waitress, chambermaid, par
lor maid, laundress, lady's maid, nurse
maid, bellboy and errand girl.
She is never supposed to be too tired
to respond to the buzz of bell, and
she is expected to put up with what
ever accommodations are left after the
rest of the family is comfortably pro-
vided for
And | believe there is fairly good
foundation for her complaints A
whole lot of incompetent, selfish, in
considerate women are so placed In
the scale of fortune that they can keep
house and have girl" Women of
this type have the idea that the plac-
ing of a girl in the kitchen and pay
ing her so much week end their re-
sponsiblity as far as housekeeping
goes.-Exchange.

Probably everybody knows that very
pretty rugs can be made from bits of
colored silks and ribbon. but in case
some one has a lot of pieces and does
not know what to do with them we
make this suggestion: Select only bits
of harmonizing shades Il pink and
brown red and dull green and black,
yellow and dark green, purple, black
and cream color-and cut the pieces
into strips of even width. sewing the
ends together firmly. Roll into balls
and send them to weaver OF carpets,
with instructions not to use any dis
cordant color for binding them to-
gether. You will be surprised at the
soft artistic effect of old scraps. A
really charming portlere or couch cover
will be the reward of little patience
and very little expenditure.
