MAIDS DUTIES SHOULD BE
DEFINED AS SHE IS ENGAGED

be called upon again unless absolutely
necessary.
Each mistress must make her own ar
rangements with her maid in regard to
days out. the general rule being every
other Sunday and one week day every two
weeks.
Where there are children 1t should be
clearly stated whether the maid is ex-
pected to walk with them and. if possible.
at what hour. also how her home duties
would fare in her absence-whether the
mistress undertook them or If they waited
until the maids return.
These are all matters that could be def
nitely adjusted or understood at the time
of engagement.
When two maids are kept the duties
are usually divided thus: One under
takes the cooking, cleaning, the dining
| room and downstairs offices, also the
coarser washing IL done at home; the
other is expected to keep drawing room
and bedrooms in thorough order, wait on
table, and often undertake the mending
of the household linen, such as sheets.
tablecloths. napkins, etc. She should an
swer the front door, serve afternoon tea,
clean silver and possibly do fine washing
and ironing.
A nurse. as the name implies. is ex-
, pected to undertake the care of the chill
dren and their nursing.
Where there are a number one ba by
the mother usually takes the infant while
the nurse bathes and dresses the children
and serves their breakfast. supposing they
take it in the nursery. The little tots
then amuse themselves while baby's toilet
is made and they all go for an airing,
giving a chance for the nursery to re-
ceive cleaning during the children s
absence.
Lunch is usually taken with mother,
and then the nurse takes hers baby
having been given into It's parents keep
ing.
The afternoon is repetition of the
morning, then simple supper and the
children are prepared for bed Practically
the nurse is never free. except when
she goes out alone but this she under
stands and the duties are not hard She
should be able to keep the children's
clothing in repair and IN some cases Is
expected to make simple garments
Where there are grown children in
third maid is kept. She is called a par
Ior maid or waitress. Her duties are
light. but she is kept busy all the time
She must know how to make salads
have thorough knowledge Of waiting at
table, understand the care Of cut glas
and silver. also of bric-a-brac, lamps ETC.
Her duties also will be to dust the
dra wing room and her mistress bedroom
besides giving personal service to that
lady and her daughters when called upon
OF course, the service of a lady's maid
will not be expected of her-there will
be no time for it. but she will probably
arrange the girls hair. assist them In
dressing, brush their clothes. keep toilet
articles in good condition. press a rumpled
garment. perhaps accompany them to and
from school and be at hand to render
any assistance the mistress may demand

Since the city and school district
are up against financial shortages ON
account Of the loss OF and the neces-
sity for FefundIng liquor licenses as
a result OF the adoption OF local op-
ton. Il has been suggested that a
general business and professional tax
ranging from sa5 to 1850 annually
be put into force by a city ordIn-
anco. II such plan is adopted IL
should be carefully drafted to cover
every profession and branch of busi-
ness IN che city OF course the ex-
penae may come on the people In
advanced prices to cover this tax,
but Il now seems to be the only
method Of meeting the deficiency
We understand that the matter Is to
come before the city council at an
early date. II IL unfortunate that
additional taxes have become a ne
