Schedule Best
For New Maid

In this country it is customary al
ways to have the new maids room in
good order when she arrives. Just the
fact that she is to be employed as a
domestic Is no reason why the room
should not be freshly cleaned and
busted, with the bed nicely made up
with clean bedding and a fresh bed
spread. TO expect the new maid to
clean up after a maid that has de-
parted Is decidedly inconsiderate and.
moreover, she will be far more apt to
keep her room neat and attractive If
she sees 1t first under such circum-
stances.
Some housewives adopt the principle
Of leaving the maid to her own devices
at first for few days and then check
ing her up after she has given sam
pie of what she can do. That is, they
let her make the coffee and tea accord
ing to her own methods at first and
then make corrections later.
This Is really unfair. Better by far
Is it to take the time to give the maid
minute instructions as to how you like
things to begin with and not create
false impressions at first that you will
be quite content to have her cook en-
tirely to her own liking.
To O maid of intelligence it is always
satisfactory to have some idea of what
each days duties will be. 1t is a good
plan to give this to maid in written
form,

Right Lamp Adds
Cheer to Rooms

Now that the evenings have length
ened-and are still frightening
lamps assume more Importance than
they had In Summer time.
There are really many who welcome
the darker evenings, when indoor
cheer takes the place of outdoor
pleasantness. Nothing, surely, is more
cheerful than o well-shaped lamp that
sheds Its warming glow over an attrac-
lively furnished room. And even @
rather shabby room blooms forth into
new charm under the rays of a good
lamp.
There are so many lamps it is difn-
cult to choose the one you want. But
for that very reason 1t is possible to
choose exactly the right lamp for the
right place. Simplicity, fortunately.

fully shaped bases and shades that tenn

the right combination for the ideal

Girdles Achieve
Nodded Silhouette

Before we attempt to wear the new
clothes we must make over our figures.
We must remember that to enjoy sue
cessful results in clothes of more fitted
lines, more definite waist line and snug
fitting hips, we must start right. And
this means a correctly cut and fitted
foundation garment or girdle and
braSsiere.
The new girdles are higher by several
inches than last seasons and corre-
spondingly longer. Brassieres are cut
to meet them and even to overlap so
that a fat.front effect may be OBJ
tanned. II not this combination. one
piece foundation garment is worn, for
there must be a lining on which to
mold the new princess gown.
OF course, there is a certain amount
of boning, but 1t isn't excessive and
each bone has been very carefully adj
iusted There Is also far more elastic
webbing used.

Blotting Paper

Blotting paper-well, it Just used to
be blotting paper.
There was only one kind and one

Just good plotting paper, in white or

the old-fashioned method of drying the
ink on ones letters by sprinkling sand
over them. You didn't worry, in those
days, as to whether the plotting paper

It comes in every color, in many
shades, so that it is not difficult to get
1t in Just the right one for any given
decorative scheme. All you have to do
is to 60 to the shop where 1t Is sold with
a sample OF the color you want-and
then choose it.
Gray and rose, green, blue, red, rust,

/ came across black blotting paper
not long ago in a detective story. The
clever man in the book always used
black plotting paper, so that his SerV-
ants should not see whom he had been
writing to. Apparently servants in
books are supposed to put our blotters
in front OF the mirror and thus read
the addresses of our letters and even
their contents. But if the plotting
paper Is black-of course no writing is
visible. And the wicked servants

SO I got some black blotting paper
and found It quite effective. It doesn't
look so messy as other colors look. A
white blotter, for instance, looks untidy
five minutes after you have begun to
use 1t. The black blotter stays I'M

New Skirts Not
Tight or Full

The new skirts are neither tight nor
full-or rather they are often Excess
sively tight and very full at the same
time. Many of the French dressmaker
have made the drapery extending from
the waistline nearly to the knees so
tight that the models who showed the,
dresses would not have dared to sit
down while wearing the dresses.
But below the tight swathing Of the.
upper part of the skirt, the drapery
flares forth so that the skirts may be
several yards around at the hemline. !
