WOMAN WITHOUT A MAID.

- - III
There is a wear and tear on patience
and strength whether does
her W Homework or directs many
servants. The oma who can keep
house with comfort without a maid Is
q fortunate woman. She must be sys'
tematic without making system a bug
bear. 1t takes brains as well as mus
Gle to be a successful housekeeper. A
maid has her regular work laid out for
her. which she can usually do with no
thought of Interruption; but how 10 #
with the house mother? She has a
thousand calls and Interruptions from
Mary. with a cut finger, to the tele-
phone and door. 1t Is so hard. too. at
all times to be fresh and ~presentable
when one Is doing homework. A big
apron that will cover the dress Is a
most desirable kind to wear. and may
be used as a dress In hot weather.
The early rising habit has helped
one ~housekeeper to solve the mo
servant" problem. getting so much
out of the way before the family are
astir. She is not able TO accomplish
as much rs a good Bridget. who boast
ed of her early rising. however. as she
said she got up and got breakfast and
had all the beds made before the fam
lily were up.
When q IN does her own work
she must not waste time and energy
doing things over. A kitchen door
need be swept but onece in the fore
n @ = and when doing work that will
soii table or sink. use papers and burn
them. saving the time for more essen
tial things.
A dainty table is . necessity. and a
dainty person is another: both may be
kept with q little care. II the table
is slightly use doilies instead OF a
cloth, and save the ironing OF large
linen; q few doilies are easily laun-
dered.
Another help to a busy housekeeper
Is having the family on time at meals,
being late is only q habit and q good
one to break.
Take q few hours each day for rest
or recreation. You owe 1t to yourself
