The duties of lady's maid vary with
each mistress. Some require their maids to
dress their hair, massage them, etc, while
others do not make this stipulation. A maid
should be carefully Trained, however, in

of the mending for the family and takes
care Of the children at times. Her hours

employers are very kfHd and considerate,
making the work pleasure, but IL they

YESTERDAY we were sitting around the

step was TO make pointed frill to hang

which Nell outlined with a dainty beaded
design. Then she added single row or
beads about the very top and finished each
point of the frll and the bottom of the
bag with tiny steel-beaded balls. The draw
