From a Chicago Servant.

No. l requires no introduction. She
launches forth vehemently from the outset:
&c With regard to c. b. s. in the paper
So much is said about the servant girl
getting of evenings once or twice a week.
Why don't some Of them good women that
go around seeing that clerks, shopgarls, and
laundry girls have law for 50 many hours
q day see there is a law for poor servant
girl? But, no! they are out for making
name for themselves and to have their
names in the paper, while their own ser
wants al home are working twelve and
fifteen hours a day. Yes! they give you
day of every other week. but they man
age to have some one in for lunch that
day, so all that is left Of your day is few
hours in the afternoon. and as a rule they
have you take a note out for them out Of
your way. Its the same on Sunday. Late
dinner, 50 that it is nearly or o'clock
when you get of. Call that Sunday
out with Monday morning. dining room
and kitchen all upset-dishes anywhere
ct cetera. Why not a law so that when
girl puts in more than twelve hours a day
to pay her 10 cents an hour for overtime?
You would soon lind out that the ladies
would change their dinner hour from to 8
o'clock. Also why have girl stay up until
9 O'Clock in case the door bell should ring
or the telephone have to be answered?
All you hear the women talk about is
their girls or maids (as they say now
how they want to run out every evening.
Why, it's s or when a girl gets through
her work What is there left of the even
ing by then? Ladies can get out from
in the morning till in the evening and buy
what they want. but if the girl wants TO run
out for an hour!
They don't think that after staying in
the thick atmosphere in the kitchen, or
maybe in a little stuffy room next to the
kitchen. that a girl may like to get little
Z fresh air.
e Why mayn't a girl ask the lady about
how many hours or days off she can have?
And how many in family, we'll as a lady
has right to ask all sorts of questions?
How often you expect to get out? Do you
stay out late? Have you steady company?
How often does he come to see you? How
long have you known him? Do you expect

you go at ) or O'Clock mass? How long

leave? Now. why not let the girl ask why
the lady is looking for maid and why her

she does not leave her place. but some

,~HE letter and comment which ap-

cerning The Right Kind OF Rice
interests me very much. l have
repeatedly tried to obtain un-
polished rice but though there is so-called

so different in character and taste from

particularly noticed that it was so extreme
ly nutritious that a small portion only could
be eaten at a time. When so much has ap-
peared in print relative TO the value Of un-
polished rice I cannot understand why 1t is
not everywhere procurable. Many persons
would buy it If they could get it in good con-
ditIon. and It would surely become favor
ably known. Cannot We who are interested
Join in an effort to bring this kind Of rice
into the market and create a popular de-
mand for it?
Mr. c. Of the Vegetarian society once
sent me a sample of what he called un-
polished rice but though not as shiny as the
: ordinary rice it was white and tasted not
nearly as good as the unpublished rice had
as the rice which everybody knows.
- think I shall write to a firm of rice
growers in the south and inquire into the
reasons for depriIing the public Of good.
. honest, whole rice. If other consumers will
do the same perhaps there will be desirable
results. ANNA +.
! And We are much interested in what you
tell US about the unpublished rice. !, too,
have been unable to get it, although Ihave
made inquiry OF the leading grocery firms in
our largest cities. I have, for long years,
advocated the claims OF rice Ieven as We
buy it'll as a nutritious vegetable product,
holding it to be when properly cooked su-
perior to the ubiquitous potato in nutritfve
properties and in palatableness, as 1t un-
doubtediy surpasses the rank tuber in
wholesomeness. II We could only supply
our markets with the real thing as it is
