A Servant Who Kept
"PIace" Ninety-Seven Years
Special Correspondence Of The star.


LONDON. January -. 1919.
THEY have the servant problem"
over here in almost. IL not quite. "a
acute form YOU have il in the United
States. but it would be solved in no time
if there We're many more domestics like
Mary Ann Lancaster. who has just died.
Whether this real Mary Ann" was a
treasure or not YOU can guess from the
fact that she lived as maid and friend
according to her obituary notice. with
a family in Stoke Newington for sixty
five years, or UP to the day OF her death.
at the age OF eighty-three.
1t proves. moreover. that besides being
a model servant Mary Ann Lancaster
had the welfare OF her fellow-domestics
at heart. and that she contributed in all
over $50 to the funds OF the Domestic
Servants Benevolent Institution, an or
ganization in this country which be-
friends servants in time OF stress, helps
them to get good berths and grants PEN
sons to some OF them when past work
William Sly. the secretary of this So
ciety. on being applied TO, gave the rath-
er surprising information that Mary Ann
Iancasters period of service. though
creditable, was far from being .. record
smashing one, in this country anyhow.
1T may interest you to know" said
Sly, that We have recorded on our books
the case Of one domestic who remained
with a family for ninety-seven years
and OF another who stayed in one place
for seventy-five. The first of these was
Susan O'Hagan of Lisburn. near Belfast,
who died in June. 1909, at the age OF
l07 and who for ninety-seven years was
in the service of three generations OF a
family named Hall at Lisburn. Her case
is the most extraordinary that has come
to our notice The holder of the next
best record. OF seventy-five years. was
held by Hannah Cook, who lived with q
family named Norris, in Leicestershire,
for that length Of time.
"Other striking records" Sly went on,
''are those of Marianne Stammers, who
died at lightweight. after completing
her SEVENTEEN year of service in the fam
lily of the late Henry Hoare. the banker.
and that OF Mrs. Alexander. who was
housekeeper to Lord Ashcombe for fifty
years. Viscount Citizens late butler. too.
was in his lordship's service for over
half a century"
Sly says that over two million women
are now employed as servants in the
United Kingdom. Quite a number OF
them out of their hard-earned savings
contribute to the funds of the bcnevo lcnt
institution. which has received in lega-
cies from servants nearly S2,Jo and in
trust funds over si"@O. One supporter.
"A butler. left sufficient sum to provide
for pension OF Si15 year TO the Oldest
female beneficiary. while another serv-
ant left 5000 i'm trust for two pensions
for needy "slavcya' One pensioner OF
the institution who died lately, at tho
age OF 10l, had received benefits amount-
ing to 81 $50. -.

He seems to think that the wedding
ceremony is some sort of magic
rite that will turn a parrot with gay
feathers into a good little brown
hen, just to please him.
And sometimes the poor parrot,
who sometimes has q good heart un-
der all her fine feathers, is very un-
happy about 1t and the man goes
around calling marriage a failure.

Tho reason why opals are so often
lost from their settings is that they
expand with heat more than other
precious stones, and consequently
force open the gold which holds them

correspondent. This was Mr.. George
borrow who wrote Of the Carlist

The first chimney pot hat was worn

PRACTISE AT HOME.
For added grace and suppleness
practise in your own room when your
clothing is loose many of the little
dancing steps that you see on the
stage and all about you.
Avoid sweets. rich sauces, pastries,
starches, oil dressings, cereals, dark
fish, veal, pork. cream and all made
dishes and fried foods If you would
be proud of your figure. Drink weak
tea with lemon. Never relax just
after your meals. Pay the price Of
eternal energy and vigilance, and
without any injury to health or
strength or the buoyancy that adds
spring to your figure, you will be
gracefully well-built
In the two pictures accompanying

own ideal of Ia belle figure.
Erect poise of body. firmly held
head and throat are illustrated in the
right-hand view. Learn to poise your
self on the ball of the foot. with the
