That sense Of humor comes

there is no telling what the
conversation will be.

present sense Of humor Is
mere window dressing for her
deep insight and affection
for people.
Now responsible for the
proper kind Of service in
such homes as that of Secre-
tary of Interior and Mrs.
Seaton, Mrs. williams was.
for the most part, never
trained for her role.
She received her finishing
school education from the Ma
danes, of the Sacred Heart
and did not go on to college.
Instead she made her debut
in Detroit in 1910, joined The
Junior League there and I'd
the usual volunteer work. 10
f947 she married Chip W.
liams and they moved to
Washington SO that he could
attend the GEORGETOWN For
eign Service School.
A diplomatic career didn't
pan out for the couple but
a life in Washington did.
Mr.. Williams is in the auto
mobile business here.
Three Services
The operation of Hourly
Aid breaks down into three
services. the monthly service,
accommodating service and
permanent placement. In
every case it is the customer
who pays. not the employee.
In the first case. the Gus
toner gets eight services a
month for a set fee. The elm
ploye arrives with uniform
and is trained in whatever
job is requested. They in.

The permanent placement
includes all types Of domes-
tics although Mrs. Williams
says that In this case the de-
mand is much greater than
the supply.
Henrietta williams does

With q knowing chuckle
she says. almost all women
discuss their household prob

the same goes with domestics
talking about their jobs with
their friends" Both roads
seem TO lead to Hourly Aid.
When Mrs. Williams inter-
views girls for placement she
notes their appearance and

The first thing ! tell. them,
because I feel very strongly
about it. is that domestic
work is not demeaning and
therefore they must take
pride in it. After all it takes
a great deal more intelligence
and tact to 60 into another

In speaking on the other
side. she says, that contrary
