Duties of Maid in the Household

The actual amount of time given to a
maid for her own enjoyment differs &C
cording to the place in which she lives. and
the number of servants employed in the
household. In the country more time is
given a maid, save in large households,
where formal living prevails. But when
there is only a general servant, or cook
and one maid. they are supposed to have
for themselves evenings except on occa-
sions when the mistress entertains. At such
times they are on duty.
In the country woman employing one
or two servants gives them one day a
month In which to go TO town. On this
day out each girl leaves the house di-
rectly after breakfast and doesn't return
until late in the evening. Both maids do
not go to town on the same day In the
absence of the maid, the cook washes the
dishes Whether or not she sets the table,
and clears it. depends largely upon the in
dividual cook and her employer. Some
cooks will act as maids when occasion de-
m6nds, but other cooks refuse on the
ground that they are not dressed to go
into the dining room. The cook does no
chamber work in the maids absence.
When the cook takes her day off the
maid is expected to serve the meals, the
food having been previously prepared for
the stove. On such days the employer
usually relaxes the dining room work, as
few maids can both cook and serve a
meal.
If general servant is employed IN the
country she. too, has one day a month,
