Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Through the thoughtful kindness of
a friend who attended the international
music festival in Boston Feb. p and q,
l am in possession of program of that
most interesting event. There may be
others who read the column, who, like
myself, were members OF the "Peace
Jubilee chorus" of 1859. If so, thay can
not fail to be pleased with the recognition
given to that musical celebration OF fifty
years ago. Some two hundred members
of the old chorus sang the other day, and
when those in the audience who I'd also
been members were asked 10 rise, large
number responded and remained stand
ing while ''Auld Lang Syne" was sung by
all.
The program was artistically gotten up.

DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained Home Maker Is to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand
ard Minimum Wage.

Courses for training home assist
ants, who will go into the home by the
day. hour or week and work on
schedule of hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as
means for meeting the problem OF do
nestle service.
The object of this course, now being
tried out in New York City. is to place
domestic service on the same dignihed
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours a day for salary of SO week.
She will not live in the home of her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can 20 to restaurant or eat
lunch which she has brought with her
lust as she would were she employed
in factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name, She will be Miss Smith or Mrs
Brown, as the case may be.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places of eating and living as
the factory girl, house-work has
greater appeal. as being a less monoto-
nous and more interesting work to the
average woman.
The course is a thorough one In plain
cooking, waiting on table and door,
chamber work, plain sewing, care of
children. making of menus and the
washing and ironing of light things.
Heavy work is TO be done by outside
workers. On graduation the student
receives a certificate which proves her
qualification as a dependable home
worker capable of attending to all ordi-
nary duties in home.
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation has been interested in the prob
lem of domestic service both from the
standpoint of the employee and from
that of the employer for some years.
The first commission on Household
Employment made its report at the
fifth national convention of the Young
Women's Christian Association held in
Los Angeles, Cal, in May, 1915.
The difficulties of attracting capable
women TO this field of work were laid
to the long hours, lack of independence
in arranging recreation hours, lack OF
81 60 nd
and lack of social standing.
Girls have acquired a distaste for
the conditions which govern household
work since the freedom they have ex-
perieBced in working in munition fac
tories. BY standardizing domestic serv-
ice it is believed by the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association that
higher type Of worker may be at
tracted to the necessary work in homes

program that the poems, sin Flanders
Fields" and its response, are copied.

l have been wondering this morning
why women have such turmoil of
house cleaning every spring. Is 1t
custom or a necessity? In these days of
modern improvements some specialist
will quite likely work out that problem
for the redemption of women from that
bugbear OF the glorious springtime.
Remembering the special kinds of work
which our ancestors (not so very remote)
went through with leach spring, have
no doubt that even the governors wives
of this commonwealth and OF Massa-
chusetts, set up ''lie leach" and MADE
their own soft soap. Why not? 1t was
for SO long a New England custom. there
must have been good authority for its
continuance.
The mention OF soft soap reminds me OF
washing. 1t reminds me, also, of the
good old reliable ne;ghbors, who used
mutually to inspect each others barrels
OF soap and suggest, if it seemed to need
il. the addition of little more water.
What a slur it was on that jellied soft
soap when the name began to be applied
to the f1attery OF persons.
Now about the washing. Clothes were
slways boiled in those days, and it must
have been on account of the use'of that
kind OF soap, to remove the odor. 1t is
vet matter of choice, not of regular
custom. whether or not clothes are boiled
to perfect their cleansing. There is no
doubt, with washing machines and
wringers, with washing powders and
fluids and soaps galore, the washing may
be done more easily than in the olden
times.
Twill admit soft soap and washing may
not be esthetic subjects, but, at least, they
are practical.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still brayely singing, ny,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe.
To you, from falling hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
II We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
In Flanders fields.

Rest you in peace, We Flanders dead,
The fight that We SO braveIy led
We've taken up, and we Will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep,
With each cross to mark his bed,
And peoples blowing overhead,
Where once his own life blood ran red.
So let your rest be sweet and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that you have died for naught.
The torch We threw to us, we caught;
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedoms light shall never die.
We've learned the lesson that We taught
