Qualifications
Of Personal
Servant
Neat Appearance,
Ability to Care
For Clothing
By Emily Post

That the retrenchments in the
personal service angle of living will
ever be restored to yesterdays S
standards Of luxury is more than
unlikely. A letter from a young
woman who wants to qualify as a
personal maid, and who tells me
that she has finished her courses in
hair dressing, manicuring and mas
sage and wants to know how to OBJ
tain q good position, almost i'm
PEELED me to look at the postmark
to see in what year it was mailed!
In answer, I am obliged to say
that personal maids are becoming
fewer and fewer each year. Older
ladies who are well-to-do still have
them, of course, but as incomes
grow less. 1t is necessarily the per
sonal maid" whose work is first dis
pensed with. In other words,
think it is position of very doubt
full future.
However, if this is what you be-
!ieve yourself best fitted for, the
qualifications are these: You must
have a very nice appearance and a
quiet ladylike manner. You must
be an expert needlewOman and your
principal work is to examine every
article of clothing that your lady
has had on and when necessary
mend, clean, press or wash out each
item before it is put back on its
hanger or in its drawer. Expert
packing is always required, hair
dressing usually, manicurin2 seldom

sonal maid often has charge Of the

heard of a maid who was a mas.
seuse Cthe knowledge and expert
ness exacted by this profession Is
scarcely within the scope of any
outsider). Some ladies like a great
deal of help in dressing-others re-
quire little more than having their
things laid out for them and picked
up after them.
! Dear Mrs. Post: I received an in
| vitation to a shower not long ago
and since there was nothing on the
invitation about its being a sur
prise, I called the guest of honor the
day of the shower and asked her If
she wanted me to stop by for her
She seemed surprised that there was
to be party and said she had un-
derstood that just she was going
to our friends house to dinner an6
spend the evening. I was severely
criticized by the hostess for having
let the cat out of the bag and she
gave me to understand that every
shower was a surprise and that shl
thought every one she was inviting
knew that. Who was wrong, the
hostess or I?
Answer: In most circumstances
a shower is given only on occasion
as a surprise. Therefore, unless
established custom Is different In
your community the hostess shoulc
have told you it was to be a sur.
prise shower" Not having done so
you were quite right to suppose She
knew.

Why? Well, the girl who has
raft of dates with different boys
probably isn't too discriminating.
She becomes 30 enthralled by the
rush she gets that she loses her
sense of values. A dateless week
end becomes q major tragedy-she
fears her popularity is slipping away
and she'll 90 out with almost any
one rather than stay home.
And the minute q girl stops dis
eliminating, her stock begins to
drop in the eyes Of the nicer fel-
lows. If she goes out with q couple
of fellows who are known as heavy
neckers, they assume that she Is
going in for heavy necking. And
few worthwhile boys will get senti-
mental about . girl who has ac-
quired that reputation-whether it's
JUSTIFIED or not.
Furthermore, the too-popular
miss often becomes conceited and
flippant. She is the center of her
own little universe, and the boys
who date her are merely her satel-
lites. A guy with any gumption
won't put up with that sort OF thing
for long. It's human nature fol
a boy to want to be the star OF the
show himself-or at the very least
to rate equal billing with the feml'
nine lead.
SO we'd suggest that you feminine
readers stop envying the girl who
has all the boys dialing her number
The big rush she's getting now may
actually do serious injury to hel
future happiness. The girl who i:
Just comfortably and moderately
popular will probably make out Z
lot better in the long run.
And. above all, don't envy the
girl who is . terrific success with
bows, but who isn't liked by Other
GIRLS. The traits and characteristics
on which genuine, worthwhile popu-
larity Is based, are just rs effective
with your own sex as with the other
A girl who is disliked by other girls
may dazzle the boys for q while. but
she'll never win their permanent re.
gard or respect. Sooner or later

Rejected in House
By Vote Of go 10 50
Measure Would Have
Increased Lump Sum
By S., 900, 900
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The House late yesterday killed
the Senate-approved Overton bill by
a decisive record vote of 230-69.
Death came to the measure which
provided a formula for measuring
the amount of the annual Federal
payment toward District expenses at
the close of nearly four and half
hours of debate.
The measure would have required
the Federal Government to increase
its share by approximately $4,000, 900
in the fiscal year beginning July /.
Passage was hoped for to help meet
expenses growing out of expanding
defense activities here.
Attack Tax Rate.
During major portion of the de-
bate members devoted their time to
attacking the tax rate here, alleged
high rentals and reiterating previous
arguments intended to show that the
voteless people of Washington are
living in "a land of milk and honey"
Refusal of the House to approve
the Overton formula, which would
have based the annual Federal share
of District expenses on the basis of
the ratio of tax-exempt United
States-owned property, after certain
deductions. to the total land area,
so aroused Representative Hunter,
Democrat, of Ohio he threatened to
resign as chairman of the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the District
Committee. Mr.. Hunter had spon-
sored the Overton bill in the House.
"On two occasions" he said, II
have tried to do something con-
structive for the District. One of
these occasions was when I at
tempted to get the House to accept
revision of the District income tax
law. The other was when I sought
to get more for capital improve
ments in Washington through the
Overton formula.
Would Give Task to Another.
"On each occasion the House
voted contrary to my views. This
has convinced me it is time for me
to step down and give some one else
a chance to see what they can do for
the District"
Representative Hunter announced
he would submit his resignation as
head of the Fiscal Affairs Subcom-
mittee to the full. committee next
Monday. He said, however. he would
remain on the full committee only
long enough for completion of action
on two bills he has introduced pro-
viding for reorganization and CO.
ordination of recreational activities
in the District.

Is entitled to better treatment of
bills it brings before this body. All
ask Is that measures of the COM
mittee be considered on their merits
and voted either up or down."
Representative Dirksen argued
that adoption of the Overton
formula would make permanent the
ratio of the Federal payment to-
ward District expenses and "divest"
Congress of the authority to fix the
amount In the future unless 1t re-
pealed the legislation. He pointed
out that as the Government acquisi-
ton property here increases, so will
the Federal payment under the
Overton plan.
THE formula" he declared, sis
like the jumping frog of California.
1t will Jump little each year."
Mahon Fears Precedent.
Representative Mahon told the
House he was opposed to treating
the District like stepchild," but he
did not believe the Overton formula
would settle anything"
On the other hand, he contended.
it would establish dangerous and
indefinable precedent. 1t is a most
unfortunate plan"
Mr.. Mahon contended that taxes
here are lower than in most cities
of comparable size, that the Federal
pay roll amounts to between $780,
100000 and s340, ,000, 900 a year, and
that 100000 tourists come here
every year to aid business. These
favorable conditions, he declared,
allow for two cars In every garage" +"
Representative Rees, Republican,
of Kansas, who introduced the bill
to raise the real and personal prop
erty tax from SITS to $3.50 a year,
described Washington as a boom
town" for 10 years, and declared the
people here should pay a fair
share" of the local tax burden. He
argued that taxes here are the
Lowest in the country"

been spoiled and haven't been edu-
Gated to pay for their own govern
ment.' said Representative Ford,
Republican, of California, a former
member of the District Committee.

rents and pay just taxes. they will

ton"
Indiana Taxes Cited.
Representative Springer, Repub-
lican, of Indiana, who has intro
duced bill to raise the local gas tax
from to cents a gallon, claimed
that as a result of the small"
gas tax here, people all over the
country are required to make larger

contributions toward support of the
District government" In Indiana,
he said, and in his home city
Connersville-the tax rate is 1924
on 500 of assessed valuation, and
In addition, the people there pay a
poll tax and cent State tax on
gasoline.
But here" he declared, "the real
estate tax is SITS and the local
gasoline tax cents a gallon"
Representative Dingell, Republican
of Michigan suggested that Federal
activities In Washington be decen-
tralized, and that so per cent of
them be moved westward" prefer
ably to Colorado Springs, Colo,
where, he said, there Is mo gold
rush"
People in the District" he de-
clared, don't know what the situa-
ton Is elsewhere. They don't know
there has been a depression. The
tougher the things are back home,
the better off they are here. If
we move part of the Government
activities out of Washington, we
will be able to get a decent rental
here and get a room in a hotel
without making reservation a
month ahead.
IT don't think the Federal Gov
eminent should pay the District
one red cent"
At that point Representative
Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri
asked:
do you think the Federal Gov
eminent should give to such a
place fire and police protection,

That's right" replied Mr.. Dingell.

One of the most vitriolic attacks
on the District came from Repre-
sentative Poage Democrat, of Tex

trict Committee, who said:
"The people Of Washington have
no more chance than the people of
Berlin to learn the truth about their
affairs because there is not a single

He challenged the local papers to

crat, Of Maryland told the House Its
debate on the Overton bill had
placed it either in a rather ridicu-

Residents of the District, he ex-
planned, have no vote and look for
ward toward members Of Congress
to represent them. He said he OBJ
served that there were only so
members on the floor at that time,
which indicated to him there was a
"lack of interest" in District affairs,
