make others in your household rather
careful.
Another question that think ought
to be settled at the outset with any
maid you employ, is that of uniforms.
If you suggest uniforms after a maid
has been with you several days, she
may take 1t as criticism Of her way
of dressing for her work. II, at the
outset, you tell her that you win ex-
pect her to wear washable cotton
frocks for her work, no offense can
really be given-and I am sure none
win be taken. These wash work frocks
it is customary for the maid to sup
ply herself, but If you expect her TO
wear dress-up uniforms for afternoon
and dinner, these should be Of your
providing.
If you keep a single maid and must
be economical, 1t is often possible to
make these frocks yourself, and the
fact that you have gone to the trouble
to make them will in the very nature
OF things make the maid feel the i'm
portance you attach to them. The
black or gray or other colored sateen
needed to make a neat little afternoon
uniform costs very little, but still
think that the understanding should
be that the frocks remain with you in
case the maid leaves.
Another question that is very Diff
ficult to discuss with a maid after you
have taken her into your employ s
what might be called the makeup
question. If your maid does not sleep
in and has no bedroom In your house
then she should by all means be pro-
vided somewhere with a place where
she may keep brush, comb, towels. etc
She ought, Of course. to know enough

Summer Laundress
Has MANY Secrets

Many a woman becomes her own
laundress when she goes away on her
Summer vacation. and often she plans
her wardrobe with a special eye to hav-
ing most of her frocks, blouses and
undertakings such that they may be
ironed with the electric iron she has
taken in her trunk Then skirts Of
pongee, canton crepe and wash satin
are to be preferred to those of cotton
and linen needing elaborate ironing
There are things to remember. Silk
burns more easily than cotton. hence
you should take precaution that your
iron Is not very hot.
The best way to iron pongee is to let
it become perfectly dry and then to
iron it on the wrong side. If 1t Is wet
In any place this will look like spot
when it is ironed
Unless you want silk to be very stiff
never iron 1t wet All silk Is softer
when ironed perfectly dry. If you wish
you may press it with q damp cloth
laid over the right side. This is a good
plan when silk is badly wrinkled

Sunburn Color Best
For Bathing Suits

A portrait painter who has made a
study Of the effects of color on the
apparent tone of the complexion told
me the other day that ford tones and
sunburned tones were toned down and
sofsened by the darker shades Of the
neutral tones. Shades of beige dark,
but not dark enough to be real browns
and certain fairly dark grays, also the
color we call putty. he said. should be
chosen by women whose skins had been
Redeemed and excessively tanned.
And few days afterward saw
at one OF the exclusive beaches a
smart bathing suit that bore out this
theory.
1t was worn by young woman whose
skin had assumed coat of forid tan.
and the suit was most becoming. 1t
was OF deep beige tone-almost but
not quite brown-and wondered why
this tone was not more often chosen
for bathing suits. Incidentally the
bathing suit In question came from one
Of the smartest Of French designers.
The same day raw another bathing
costume, also from one of the best
known makers Of such things. II was

Things That the Mistress Should Say
When She Is Hiring New Servant

Where maids are scarce and choosy,
the housewife is inclined to confne her
preliminary questions to prospective
worker to the simple question of wages
II the maid will consent to come for
the amount the housewife has decided
TO pay. she may come on her own
terms-and the housewife, unless she
is a person of unusual force Of charac-
ter. hesitates TO discuss these terms.
She feels somehow that those things
win work out best without q prelimi-
nary discussion.
There are some questions, Of course,
that are best not discussed at first. It
Is hard for maid to say whether she

some questions that think ought to
be settled to start with as q matter

And one Of the most important OF
these is the question Of telephone calls

Jellied Beef Loaf
Good for Hot DAYS

Boil three or four pounds Of the meat
and bone from shank Of beef very
slowly in enough water to cover 1t until
the meat is very tender. Then pour off
the liquid and allow it to cool so that
the fat can be removed. In the mean
time remove all bone and gristie and
fat from the meat and cut the meat into
small pieces. If the liquid forms firm
jelly when it is cool, melt it. and pour
salt, little mace and paprika, and
pack it into bread pan. II the liquid
does not form firm jelly, boil It down
until it will. Chill the loaf and turn
it out on a platter and garnish With
parsley. Serve sliced.

Children do not take cold after a
bath. though most mothers seem to
have some apprehension about this.
Can baby be taken out of doors after
bath?" OF course. The type of per-
son who takes cold after bath is the
one who lives In hot dry house, who
perspires easily and who is addicted
to very hot baths. When he goes out
of doors his skin, relaxed by so much
heat, does not react quickly to the
change of atmosphere and thus retain
his body heat, but instead his body tenn
perature is rapidly lowered, and In con-
sequence he chills and has goose flesh.
He thus keeps himself in a condition
susceptible to picking up stray germs.
Unless advised for some particular
condition. hot baths are not good for
any one. Don't accustom the baby to
them, A bath of % degrees or 90 is

No fuss or muss. Just think-you
apply Del-a-tone Cream, and in min

Far better than shaving or pulling hair
