Her Grace and the Kitchen.

The problem of the domestic servant
sadly familiar in this land Of democracy
and plutocracy. in both the fiat and the
palace. has assaiIed the arist0cracy OF
England. The sad announcement is made
that the Duchess Of Fife, although the
daughter of the King. cannot keep
hired girl. Possibly, when the cook goes
on a raging strike and the maid suggests
that the mistress is not a lady, the Amer
ican housewife may ind some consoIa-
tion, however meager, in the thought that
even the purple and other trappiugs of
royalty secure no exemption from these
domestic disasters. But there IS a certain
suggestion Of parallel conditions in this
matter OF discomfort in the royal
menage. II is highly probable that her
grace knows almost nothing about the
practical affairs of the kitchen. It IS
certain that this statement may be made
OF many OF the reigning mistresses Of
American homes. Incapable servants are
paid high wages largely because the
women who should know how to manage
their households are equally incapable.
The wife who knows how TO go into the
kitchen when there is need and TO produce
edible and wholesome results need dread
neither Incompetence nor impudcnCe. Her
servants know that they have no monopoly
and are likely to perform their duty,
granted that other conditions are Of rea-
sonable amenity. tt is growing percep-
better education of the American girl in
the science and art Of that kind of house
keeping that means home-making. The
English duchess could proclaim, if she
would, a new declaration Of independence

asking to whom he was talking, he said:
