Tho Servant Problem
TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--I wish to state, in relation to
the domestic employer and domestic
servant problem. that the difficulty
starts generally with tho first interview.
The servant meets the lady of the house
and both talk in a most congeDial man
ner and both are supposed to have un-
derstood each other perfectly, namely.
the servant must be competent and ca
pable Of carrying on her part Of the
work without tho aid OF the lady, be.
cause the lady IS supposed to be of such
society typo that she would be too
busy to supervise.
After the servant has remained for n
| couple Of weeks and has her work
down to q final point and has mastered
the situation and finds q few minutes
for recreation, probably to mend an
apron or other articles Of necessity, tho
lady becomes uneasy and the next morn.
ing something has gone wrong. Finally
that day the lady sees to It that the
servant continues busy. The next day
supposed congenial conversation arises
ir which the lady begins to speak Of
some servant, perhaps, that has never
existed who was your superior In every
way, a better cook or housemaid; or Of
some Old nanny that used to be in the
family for a century that used to scratch
her back or rubbed her feet since she
was baby until she married.
With this old story kept up over the
maids menu during each meal, the
servant suffers with indigestion and be.
comes 40 disgusted that she makes VI
her mind that the next time she vii
resent, not by words. but by action
Then the lady sees the discord. ant
finally they become estranged. While
the servant Is sleeping on her cot tht
Indy is in the library discussing Will

she has. and what great mistake sh,

the principles the association mad nae

The New River field, with nearly
