The Maids Duties.

| The actual amount Of time given to a
maid for her own enjoyment differs ac-
| cordinS to the place in which she lives
and the number of servants employed in
| the household. In the country more time
is given maid. save in large households,
where formal living prevails. But when
there is only 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 d.
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 individual cook and her employer
Some cooks will act as maids when occa-
sion demands, but other cooks refuse on
the ground that they are not dressed to
go into the dining room. The cook Goes
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
meal.
If general servant is employed in the
country, she, too, has one day a month,
and If the place in which she lives is far
| from the city she is given the night also,
in order that she may enjoy the evening.
In such cases she is supposed to be back
| for work the following morning.
! 1t has become a general custom in town,
| where one or two servants are hired, to
| give each girl every other Thursday at
ternoon and evening. The maids alter
| nate these holidays so the household
Servants in the city are expected to be
on call in the evening-that is, one must
be. Each may have every other evening
out in some houses, but If the maid is off
duty the cook must be prepared to go to
| the door if the bell rings.
! If two maids are kept, and living is for
NAL the cook has one evening month
in which she is not required to get dinner,
and has one afternoon week to go out.
| On such an occasion she must be back to
prepare dinner. A woman who works in
| this capacity in town never opens the
front door. The maids alternate this task
| in the evening.
Maids are not expected to do heavy or
| dirty work in the afternoon. Whether
| one or more are kept, they are to be
dressed. ready to appear at the door if
| required.
| The second maid answers the door bell
| while the parlor maid is dressing in the
| afternoon.
| Maids have no stated hours to them
| selves on the days when they are on duty,
but a considerate employer generally ar
| ranges work so that duties Will be easy
in the afternoon, and by this plan maids
! have a little time for their own mending
and other personal matters.

Caring for Eyeglasses.

Most people seem To think that glasses
will stand any sort of treatment, and
yank and pull at them until they go to
the repair shop with alarming frequency.
Glasses should never be taken off with
one hand. An optcan advises that they
tie carefully grasped by the rims of the
lenses on both sides and removed by
pushing upward. Pulling at one side OF

lens shakes continually. Sometimes thin
happens in spite of care, and then it is
we'll to purchase enc of the tiny screw
drivers used by opticians and tighten
them whenever necessary.
Clean your glasses with some soft ma
teriai-a piece of common tissue paper is
better than any medium yet invented
and occasionally give them a bath in
warm water into which little ammonia
has been dropped.
