SERVICE WITHOUT A MAID.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

The servant problem is becoming IN
creasingly difficult 1t is easy to see why
young women prefer the semi-indepen-
dence OF working in factories during the
day and doing as they please at night.
to being at the beck and call OF mis-
tress from the time they waken until
bedtime In many cases, OF course. do
nestle work means far better housing
far better clothes. than factory work
means. But these advantages often do
not make I'D for the loss of personal
liberty. So young women continue TO
flock to the factories. and our kitchens
continue to be maidless.
Then, Of course. there sre thousands
and thousands OF US who make no effort
to keep a maid.
Nobody without a maid should tyy for
elaborate service at meals. It Is I'M
possible, in a no-maid house. to give
a butler-and-footman impression. And
our maIdIess efforts to give elaborate din
ner parties in the manner Of our neigh
bors who keep plenty OF servants are
only ridiculous.
So. IL you have no maid. learn to per
feet the no-maid dinner.
In the beginning. make II simple. II
Is easy to serve four courses without a
maid II the work Is all simplined. The
soup can be on the table when dinner Is
announced. Vegetables can be in their
serving dishes in a warming oven and
the meat. too. can be ready to serve.
The change of soup plates for fresh ones
and the bringing in OF the main dishes
OF the meal takes only a moment. The
salad can be ready. on its plates. on a
side table, with accompanying plates of
crackers and cheese. and when salad
time comes. vegetable and meat dishes
can be quickly taken to the pantry or
kitchen and the used plates can be re-
moved to a side table. After the salad
II Is a quick matter TO remove salad
plates, butter plates, salts and peppers
and crumbs. and to bring on the dessert,
all ready to serve in the refrigerator.
A simple way to serve the main course
Is to keep the vegetable dishes. bread
plate. ana all other accessories on a
tea wagon at the side Of the table. Then
when 1t is time to clear away this course.
the wagon can simply be rolled into the
kitchen. and the meat platter and plates
can be carried out In a few trips.
Each course. indeed. can be packed on
a tea wagon or muffin stand; and this
method of having everything ready be-
forehand does simplify the hostess's prob
lem.
