BREAKING IN YOUR MAID.
Practical Ways to Teach Her Without
Also Befuddling Her.

TTdCtICdi ways 10 leach Ter WITHOUT
Also Befuddling Her.
In teaching a new maid you win
have to be patient and try not to tell
her too many things to do all at once
that is, impress one duty at the time.
If she will wear the neat print frock,
white apron and tiny cap of the reg
ular dining room maid they will help to
give her proper pride in learning to
serve correctly.
If soup is dished in the kitchen teach
her to bring in the plates not more
than two at the time on tray. Have
the large service plates in place and
let her place the soup plates in them
from the left hand. In removing they
are taken one at the time. not piled.
also from the left. Everything Is
served from the left hand. as it is
more convenient in every way. A
point you should insist upon is that
she be very careful not to touch the
edges of any dish with her thumb in
passing, and the way to avoid this is
to have a tray upon which dishes with
vegetables may be carried, serving
spoon or fork. or both, in each dish
Teach her to have the glasses filed
before guests are seated; also to have
the bread either on a bread tray or a
slice or roll within the fold of the nap
kin. Salt and pepper casters as we'll
as coasters for iced tea glasses, bread
and butter plates, spreaders, spoons,
knife and fork, ETC., all should be in
place. This relieves her and makes
for q quiet, pleasant meal
In removing all plates and dishes
after serving they should not be piled
nor placed noisily within hearing.
Crumbs are to be removed with a nap
kin In her hand on to a plate held in
her left hand. Dessert is served
from the left After dinner coffee Is
placed at the right hand with sugar
and cream, If liked. If large cups Of
coffee are served with the meal they
should be placed at the right hand
from a tray with the greatest care not
to spill any In the saucers.
Many women select all white for
maids, but the striped blue or gray
and white or plain blue with small
white apron and a tiny cap are good
choice. II a maid must help In the
kitchen the big apron covering her en-
tire dress Is easily slipped or before

Separate sport skirts are now quite
as likely to be of silk jersey, khaki
kOol or la jerZ, as of linen, even if the
knitted silk, wool jersey or the velvet
coat is worn. They are very lovely in
white. and the advantage of being
washable and needing no stiffening
makes them invaluable at the shore.
While there are some skirts laid in
long, narrow pressed plaitS. most Of
the sport skirts are cut faring and in
few cores Their novel feature lies in
the pockets. on which much personal
ingenuity is displayed. Pockets. wheth-
er SlaShed or patch, are cut in odd
shapes. The crescent tops are one Of
the favorite outlines. The upper edge
will often have a tiny plating of
contrasting material. The belt. which
is of the same material generally, may
have this same plating along the edge
and buttons with as many as three
buttons. Sometimes pockets are found
in the belt They are little slashes,
which are often faced, as are the up to
date buttOnholes. and are only large
enough TO hold n watch or key.

Wise Precaution.

In making up wash materials one al
ways has to take into consideration the
fact that the fabric may shrink after
washing. If you wish to avoid undoing
the hem In order to lengthen It again
try this method: Before you hem the
bottom Of the skirt run a tuck In the
hem on the wrong side. Sew this tuck
with long stitches nearly at the top Of
the hem, then finish the hem as usual,
taking care not to take stitches Of the
tuck with the hemming. II the skirt
shrinks 1t Is a matter Of a few mo-
ments to rip the long stitches and Let 1t
down without undoing the hem.

HOW PINK LEMONADE ORIGIN.
ATED.

Away back in the sixties Adam
Forepaugh's circus from Philadel-l
phia, which was then a rather small
affair, strayed so far away from civ
ilizatiOn that it ran sIap-dab into the
great American desert. AS usual the
water was scarce and the lemonade
man, who occupied a space in the an
imal tent, could not procure any for
love or money. He was in despair.
1t was during the afternoon perform
ance that on going to the horse tent,
w. Fl. A. Tobey, one of the attaches
of the show, noticed a red blanket
fall into the barrel of drinking wa
ter. 1t was dyed deep pink and
the horses would not drink it. More
in fun than anything else, Tobey
called the lemonade man and told
him he could have barrel Of pink
water. Nobody suspected what hit
it would make. That night pink lem
onade made its first appearance, and
it has been an indispensable adjunct
of circuses ever since.-L. NJ. Wilcox
