are entitled to courtesy and considera-
tion, and there is a well defined eti-
quette in regard to them.
Some girls act as if their interiors
were not to be recognized except when
service is required of them, and then
adopt manner of naughty disdain,
demanding everything and taking the
attitude that the servant is a mere
machine. There is, of course the other
extreme, that of intimacy with a-serv-
ant, and the latter attitude is as much
to be deplored as the former.
Every girl of wealth in these lux
urious days has her own maid and this
domestic naturally comes into close
contact with her. 1t is the maids busi-
ness to be at the beck and call of her
young mistress at all hours, but the
mistress should remember that the maid
is human and not make unreasonable
demands on her. 1t is unreasonable to
