Washington Housewives and
Maids Asked Why Some
Stay and Others Don't.
KINDNESS WILL KEEP THEM
Mere Man Declares His Fam
iIy's Experience Is Due to Its
Availability.

Why?
Aye. there's the question nearly every
housewife in Washington Is asking. as
she reads the records of long years or
service submitted by those who are
entering their servants in the woman's
clubs competition for efficient cooks
and maids.
Obviously the answer to this why"
Is to be had from the woman Of the
house, perhaps from the man OF the
house, and most important OF all. from
the servant In the house.
Then. when II comes to the domestics
themselves, the old colored servants
whose employment dates back to some
vague period before the war; have
one answer the comparatively younger
colored women, who form about 30 per
cent OF the entries. have another. and
the white women. OF whom there are
only few, have a third.
Here's the dope"
After talking with representatives OF
each OF these classes. here's how one
earnst young INVESTIGATOR had It "dopd
out" for him:
A housewife-'I treat my maid like
one OF my family. She works hard
and long. but she Is as loyal as any
Friday could be-"
A mere MAXWELL. our maid has
been here twenty-five wears. I guess
that's a tribute to our amiability. We
