Topeka women might be interested
to learn how a Wichita woman sue
! ceeds in keeping her help in spite of
a great deal of competition among the
women of the town with money. MI
| merous friendships have been broken
up thru housewives Turing away the
maids of their neighbors with the
| promise of higher wages, and various
and sundry ways of keeping good help
are being resorted to by the owners of
| large homes.
| This Wichita woman is said to have
| told her maid one day not long ago
| that she was going to have five guests
for dinner that night and wanted an
especially good dinner. She ordered
| flowers and decorated the table with
| candles to match. When the guests
| were all seated she went to the kitchen
| and told her maid that it was time to
serve, and asked her to look in at the
table. The maids surprise was great
| on seeing five of her most intimate
| friends seated around the table. IT
was her birthday and she was told
that the place of the hostess was to
| be filled by her. Even tho some of
the neighbors may be able to pay
| higher wages, this housewife is in no
danger of losing her cook-in fact
she could probably get about five
| more, if they were needed, since that
dinner party.
