GIVING THE MAID DAY OFT.

A ia
When l hear women talking'I feel
very sure that help is thing of the
past in the average home. The COM
forts Of home have been given up by
many and they have gone TO hotels
and boarding houses to live because
they cannot have nor keep help.
l have never given a lecture nor
written an article on this much theor.
lied subject, nor do l intend to now.
Not stone will tear from the foun-
dation of the help question until
have a better one to put in its place;
yes, it needs several of them. But a
suggestion or two might be in order
First The woman who regards
Homework as drudgery and beneath
her will never make success of it nor
keep help.
Second--lf she is trying to manage a
home and only making a bluff at it,
she may fool herself, but not the help,
and they will leave very soon.
Third-Set a high standard for work
in the home AID then have the same
standard for help. We are all servants
There is and can be no one below us
If our standards of work to be done
are right.
l know many women who, with the
above standards, have kept theiI
Mary for years and love and respect
her, too. Why shouldn't they. if she
does her work we'll? The husband is
a servant also, working for some pres
idcnt, superintendent or general man
ager, and he only grows in value t.
his employer according to the excel
lence of'his work. In this sense he is
no different from the servant employed
in his home who carefully cooks the
food which makes him hold or lose
his position.
She Is entitled TO a day or part OIL
one for change, and the mistress Of
the home, in planning her meals, ii
aware that three meals planned in ad
vance will mean easy sailing for hel
on that day. Or this may be the one
opportunity for the family to enjoy 6
dinner away from home. Whichever
way it is decided, there should be little
OF extras to do. | am only thinking o.

made hats of soft materials are es-
pecially new. Chiffon and crepe hats
are very stylish.
A graceful pink chiffon hat has
soft draped crown of pink chiffon.
The brim is low and dropping Of Tus-
can straw covered with three cir
cular ruffles of the chiffon. A black
velvet ribbon is folded under the
crown. A dainty touch is added to
the hat by the wreath of small pink
and blush purple flowers placed near
the edge Of the brim.
1t is also predicted that there will
be vogue for lace hats. These are
made along the same lines as the
crepe and chiffon hats. The effect of
these hats is always particularly
youthful and simple, and what wom-
an doesn't crave for the appearance
of youthfulness?
A gray crepe hat has the crepe
shirred on thick cord. The brim
slightly rolls at one side and Is faced
with yellow straw. A fancy band OF
straw is at the base of the crown.
An ostrich fancy of gray is placed at
the back.
For the Voman who motors, there
are many new innovations and little
motor caps, which can be adjusted
closely to the head. Most of the caps
have ties. A motor cap of water
proof silk has a little turned back
brim very much on the order Of a
little "dust cap" Another has a tan
crown, straw brim, with a grosgrain
ribbon around the crown finished
