cook we are apt to make allowances for tho extras which the most of them carry off But aside from this tin bucket. graft, many of us might pay our ser wants more in the matter of human inter- est and personal concern"
 Tt is a mystery, really" suggested why some women can keep servants and others can't. though they are willing to pay any sort of wages"
 There are born housekeepers,' said the veteran in the cause, land others who do not know the very first principles Of how to hold a servant. I believe the woman who refuses to countenance slack ness and ylovenly behavior, and who is exact but kindly, is the one who keeps the best servants and for the greatest length of tine."
 Which Is the principle that ante-beilum housewives had" I observed, 'and which made devoted friends of their servants many of whom were so close to their mistresses that they had no other con- fidante so true and so loyal, and for whom they held so great an affection"
 The friendship between mistress and maid said the veteran housekeeper, had stood the test in many cases of re- construction days, and fredom without altering the positions of the two in any way"
 oft times it was not a question of money continued the woman, "but the bond of loyalty before which an tempta- tions to better themselves in a financial way, were put aside. I have in my mind case of a faithful servant who worked E20 years in one family without being paid"
 That's hard to believe" interrupted
 Tt is nevertheless true" said the vet eran housekeeper When she was ques- toned about the situation, she said
 ''Uv course wants my wegges; wegges is whut I wuks fer, but dere's other things sides wegges."
 Her master could never see his way clear to spare her any change. Finally he grew so poor that he decided to let Aunt Katie go. Calling her to him he said:
 T am not able to pay you, Aunt Kate. so you can get you another home, though hate to let you go."
 But 1 ainter goin'. No sir-re-e," said Aunt Katie. .'Ise gwine ter stay right heah an cook out dem 20 years wegges.r
 "Of course, if you feel that way about it' said her master If you want to stay and cook out the 20 years wages owe you, why do so.''
 And triumphantly she stayed
 Ut is a good thing for the housekeep- er." said the veteran after a pause, ito lose her cook occasionally, just to make her appreciative. When she must get up and cook three meals day herself she is pretty apt to appreciate the hardships that her cook goes through every day, and when she gets another she is kinder to her and more thoughtful of her trials and vicissitudes."
 "A man whose wife had eight cooks in two weeks" I said, having heard of the incident recently, Suggested that a prize be given faithful servants on every anni- versary. When your cook has been with you year, and given satisfaction, at the end of that time give her nice little remembrance, and the next year make her more substantial testimonial, and so on, as the years go by
 "It is good idea said the veteran housewife. flor in the end it is proven that an appreciative mistress goes long way toward keeping an appreciative cook in the kitchen"

The Cook i7 he Kitchen

! 1T UST short time ago in New York, at what was caled household " show" the greatest curiosity on ex- hibition was an old family servant who had worked in the same family for 50 years.
 The newspapers besought the old fam fly servant for interviews, while the mis- tress of the menage was asked for her picture and views on How to Manage and Keep Servant for Thirty-tive Years" and while many hoped to find some new and cunning art by which this 35-year arrangement had been effected they were disappointed to have the sim pie explanation made that there was no trick or "catch" in it. but merely an un- derstanding between mistress and maid which had made possible their long and peaceful cooperation.
 The Irish servant-for she was Irish, Maggie Murphy by name-explained the situation by saying she had stayed with the family because they had always treated her considerably and kindly and that she liked them.
 "Begorra, they're foine folks said Maggie with twinkle in her eye.
 "Theres really no explanation" said Mrs Thomas Wellington McGuire, we regard Maggie as more than a servant, because we regard her as one of the fam ily She has served us faithfully and we are appreciative of ,her efforts She is one of our loyal friends as well as our loyal servant"

E7T1 HE Alabama Art league win pre-
 sent an exhibition of pottery and
 embroidery from the Newcomp School of Art in New Orleans. The ex- hibit will be shown in the little gallery in the Watts building beginning March b.
 Newcomb embroidery, which has won a unique place in the appreciation of art lovers, had it's origin in the Newcomb School of Art in New Orleans, the school which has won distinction by giving it's art training practical application.
 For this reason this embroidery has peculiar value. It is the product of years of training in color and design, and above all training of the power to se- iect from nature the essential qualities of beauty.
 Every true art reflects the qualities of the place which gave rise to it This embroidery is from the far south, and is in the best sense souvenir
 Great care is exercised in securing ma terials to insure permanency. Hand- woven linens are. chiefly used as a ground work, chosen for their strength and in- teresting texture. These, in combination with Tussah silks noted for their soft lustre and unfading though delicate colors, insure lasting quality Moreover, the relation secured between the stitch of the design and the simple weave of its background, secure harmony which gives Newcomb embroidery peculiar dis- tiDction.
 Among the articles spun woven and embroidered at the school are wall hang ings, table covers centerpieces and table mats etc, and special department IS devoted to church embroidery to vest Inents and altar hangings with designs carefully carried out with reference to symbolism
