A lot of them don't even stay long
enough to rehearse.
One woman started treating her
cook like one Of the family and you
can't blame the cook for quitting.
Some people have contract with
the employment office. They keep
one cook coming, one working and
one going.
Cooks come and go faster than
rabbit riding banana peel skates on
a hardwood floor.
You ask her to cook you q swell
dinner but then you've got to ask
her II she'll be there long enough
to serve II.
Most cooks won't work for You
unless you have two garages. One
for your car and one for hers.
You can't expect a cook to be
satisfied with one night off q week
even II that Is all you give your
husband.
Remember. the cook isn't married
to you. she doesn't have to stay.
1t Is discouragfng. though, to see
your maid walking around the house
with time table In her hand.
One woman lived near a railroad
station, and every time her cook
heard train whistle she dropped a
dish.
Then the woman OF the house had
to look at the time table to see
how long her dishes were going to
last.
You owe II TO your cook 10 do all
you can for her and always remem.
Der that it's time TO change your
butcher and grocer when she starts
eating In restaurants.

Says if You Treat Your Cook Like One Of the
Family You Can't Blame Her for Quitting.
By John p. Medbury

The servant problem is worse this
winter than 1t was last year.
Wealthy people are hiring maids

come and perhaps they'll stay.
A lot Of cooks work with their hat
and coat on. They're not going to
lose any time II they decide to quit.
While cooks aren't I'm the theatri-
cal business, most of them play one
