"Too many Tomen expect their ser vánts to be reasonable when altogether too much is expected of the domstics," said a matron, who has given much thought to the servant girl problem. "The more I look into the subject of household science the more I am convinced of the crying need that mistresses be educated. The amount of work they expect from a single servant is marvelous. I know one woman who has a large famlly and one servant, and she does not expect to do any of the work of ths house herself. She does not even make her own beds. To be sure, they are only pulled open, the clothes thrown over the foot, and then pulled back again, but the one has to do it. And I have known her to cali this one girl from her general housework to bring her a glass of water upstairs and take the glass down again, and she does not hesitate to cali her to bring her a tape measure or something that she needs for her sewing. She expects personal waiting upon in addltion to all the work of her house."-
