We all know what the servant prob
lem is and thoroughly agree with
very prominent woman in Senatorial
circles, who recently said that the
woman who faced housekeeping to-day
had to be as brave as a lion The
family which loses a trusted servant
nowadays feels that it has suffered a
calamity-the replacing of such a one
is so difficult a matter that the in
terim between the departure OF the
old and the installing of the new
servant is full of tragedy to the usual
" well regulated household. The
housekeeper scarcely knows which
way to turn to look for the new wom-
an or man servant, and to such it may
be timely advice to suggest her taking
her troubles to an agency located in
Vermont avenue. opposite the Arling-
ton Hotel. This is conducted in an
honest manner and with a complete
system which keeps tab on the help
sent out to families and also to hotels
and other institutions. so that only
the servants with recommendations
from former employers are enrolled
here Persons who need help-a cook,
a seamStresS, governeSS, a chauffeur,
or any other kind by paying a regis
tration fee of s. are assisted in seCur-
ing just what they want Many very
satisfactory arrangements have been
made between mistress and maid or
master and man servant through the
cooperative method employed by this
firm.
The biggest bargain of the many
advertised this season, perhaps. is that
offered by a clothing house in the
Avenue, near Seventh street, for this
week Here high shoes for men and
boys and misses are marked $50
in tans and blacks, of several different
style feathers, which not only look
well, but are sold with a reliable
firms guarantee. Can you beat this?
I suppose every woman who has
worn the kimono sleeves since they
first appeared has found the same
difficulty ] have had with them-the
question of shields to fit them. You
all have been disgusted trying to sew
in the ordinary kind of protector. AS
there is no seam in the armhole,
there was nothing to pin them to,
and if sewed they never were COM
Portable and were all around unsat-

other day, made in the prevailing
style-who was it that said one might
as well be dead as not be in the

my shields were of any service with
it So you may imagine how glad I
was yesterday when. looking at the
notion counter of a department store
in G street, near the corner of
Eleventh street, for the kind that is
worn with an elastic strap over the
arm. to find that new shield. made
expressly for the kimono sleeve, has

Socfety's Serious Side.

But society has its serious side The
possession of the real artistic tempera-
mentor the artistic temperature. as we
might basely say-is essential to its lead
ers. The humble butler who arranges
the floral decorations of dinner table
has no little Of an artistic nature And
the woman who can plan with ease and
brilliancy an entire season at Newport
dovetailing her various functions with
cleverness and a beautiful realization of
their relative importance to her entire
household, is not lacking in a minor form
Of genius. Her dinner dances may not
be important to you and to me, but they
are to her and her friends. 1t is the life
she has mapped out for herself, or, more
often, the life that has been mapped out
for her; and society leader must have
many of the qualifications of a monarch
tact diplomacy, finesse. You may call
her insincere; 1 would call her sincerely

Richmond Thin Biscuits.

From the PhiIadeIphla Star.
Virginia Carter occasionally makes a
thin biscuit which she calls Richmond -
and the rule which she gives is as fol-
lows: Rub into pint of well-sifted flour
a heaping teaspoonfuI of butter. When
the flour feels like fine meal, she adds
two well-beaten eggs and enough cream
or very rich milk to make a dough stiff
enough to roll. This she rolls out as
thin as paper, cuts into circles with a tin
cutter. pricks it with fork, dusts with
flour, places in pan, and bakes to a
light brown.
