after supper, when the plates of
breakfast and supper are washed, many
an evening is given to housework. AS
rule, the American woman sends her
big pieces of linen to the laundry, but
washes all her small pieces of fine silk

there is the eternal drudgery Of mend
ing stockings. Many Saturday after

contrary to the opinion of European

Maid Requires Room.
"Year after year, up to the moment
when her husband is financially sue
cessful and when an amount of $50 or
$50 for the maid no longer means a
hole in the budget, the American
woman Serves Anyhow, a maid does
not mean only $50 or $50, but she re-
quires three meals day and q room
of her own. It is quite natural that
no American servant would consent to
sleep in the kitchen, as is sometimes
the case in Europe.
II cannot find words to praise these
women. Most of them find their life
quite natural and accept it without a
murmur. They are industrious and yet
they find time for book, for bridge,
for the theater and even for sports.
