COMFORT FOR SMALL INCOMES. CHAPTER I. Old Servants New FaceE How to Keep a Dinner Warm Early Troubles Again New Faces How Places Acquire Bad Names The Subver sion of all Order To lock or not to Lock Ser vants' Allowances Implements and Cloths for Servants' Use Kitchen Necessaries Easentially Requisite. When I first went to my new home aftor our bridal tour ot only a fortnight for my husband, a mrffpon, having his way to niak?, deemed it impolitic to remain longer from his pntients I found everything belonpng to houseuoVl mat ters that oould uive me com tort ha I been ar ranRed by my mother and my husband's sist'-r, Anna Wj nter. My chief cause tor thankfulness was In two servants, who had lived for some veurs with the latter when she kept her father's noiisc. With these domestics, mother and daughter, the lass about cishmen, everything went smoothly. I could listen complacently to the narratives of the trials with servants of my lady vibitors, aDd In my heart deemed that they, and not the domestics, were in fault. I arzued that it girls were treated kindly and considerately, they would be well behaved and grateful, and that mistresses alone were to blame for taking any with inditfereat characters. For thesa pre sumptuous thoughts I have been well pnnihed since, 'The same measure ye mete to others shall be meted to you again," has been amply veritled in my case. I have repented of all such uncharitable constructions. For four years my happiness was complete. My two children were healthy, loving little crea tures; my husband's practice was Increasing, and my servants were all that could be desired obliging, clean, industrious, and methodical. Su?an was nurse and house-maid combined, and her mother whs a good and faithful house keeper. One day, about threp months previous to the birth ot my third child, as I was m the kitchen .arranging for dinner, and giving directions for some particular cleaning, cook said, " If you please, ma'am. Su-an U going to be married to Alfred Jones, the wheelwright, as -ooii n vou can eet suited, and they are going to Australia, and I am to eo with them." My dismay at this announcement may be con ceived. 1 had nothing but good wishes to offer both, for the intended husband was not only in dustrious, but had recently come into property worth 300, and in their takinar the mother with them they were fulfilling their duty. There was nothing for 1t, but to promptly supply their place, which I thought could be easily done; only there might be a little confusion at first, soon to be got over. Just a week before my confinement the new servants entered upon their duties. I had an excellent character wlih them from a lady who lived a few miles distant. They wanted higher wages than she could give, and that was the reason for the separation. The house of the lady was scrupulously clean, so that I was satisfied on this important point. Within a tew days alter their arrival I had misgivings as to their capabilities and competency lor their situations; the rooms looked dusty, the grates dull, the knives stained, and there was a general air of discomfort exxedingly annoying tome. I knew that for a month I could not interfere, and thousht It bet not to coramenue fault-finding, but to bear with all sbortcominas till I could be about agaiu. My chief care was for my husband and children. Allen could rarely dine at our regular time; he could never say when he would be at home. I did not grumble at this, but devised a remedy whereby he could at any hour have his princi pal meal at a moment's notice, ms dinner or meat, potatoes, and gravy was arranged in a soup-plate and covered; other vegotaolcs In a second plate, also covered, and both were kept hot over two saucepans of nearly boiling water, so that not an instant was lost in serving when it was reeded. At the same time t'tat the family cloth was laid another was placed on a separate table with dinner-service, knives and forks, and the usual condiments. ' I do not bay that the dinner had all the fresh flavor which belongs to one eaten at the right time, but habit made the loss unpercoived. My little ones dined with me every day, but the house maid waited, cut up their food, and attended to their wants, and as they were taught never to touch the things on the table, nor to ask or cry for anything, it was a peaceful, comfortable meal; and if my husband was fortunate enough to join us then, he was never worried, though come when he would, if not present when the dinner was served, he found it cut off and sent to keep warm. He was first cared lor, whether present or absent. For his tea boiling water was always rady; and up to this time I had never any trouble about it;", but with the new servants a different rder ot things was introduced. 1 remonstrated without effect two or three times at Vie neglect, and it ended in my having th kettle brought intotha sitting-room, and then I could see if trie water was kept boiling. 1 did not mind this in the winter, and in the summer I hoped a change would cone. Time went on until my baby was born, and I was able to sit up. The children had been breught- to me each day, but ( had observed that nurse was absent previously far a longer time than she ourht to nave been. I eupcted how matters stood; but the little thing were well in health, and I forbodt inquiries, though it was evident from their rough hair, tumbled frocks, and vnsinoothed pinafores, that but small care was expended on them. Still, slluace was the best policy. When I first eame down stairs I saw, with dismay, the dirt aud disorder which reigned supreme. I thought the nurse might have seen o much of this, aud said so, but she tamed awar without reply. "This is something like," was Allen's remark at his dinner that day; and as I looked p, in quiringly, he went on: "I have been treated to some frizzled dinners during your absence, which I didn't quite like; I suppose things will go right now." Nurse heard this, and oosaing over to me, said: "Another week and you will be stronger, ma'am: don't sav anything vet." Three days after both servants came to me, ust as I was down stairs. "If you please, ma'am, our month is up to day, ana as your piace aon t suit us, we wish to leave." "But surely you should have given me notice of this before," I said. "We were only on a month's trial, and we never gives notice, then," was the reply. "You cannot leave tor a week," I said. "I have no servants, and must seek some." "Well, ma'am, wa don't mind slavin? two or three days to oblige you, but we must go away on uaturaay." Tnis was Wednesday, and the following Mon day, at a village three miles off, an annual revel was held, which I thought expluned their haste tj depart. In the atternoon, though not strong enough to do so, I went into the kitchen to take a survey. The sight that met my view was bv by no means encouraging ditty corners, stained tables, lustreless coppers and tins, aud a close, unhealthy, drain-like smell pervaded the nlaon. Things were bad, indeed, bat complaint could only make them worse. I did not even insUt uDontbehoue beinsr cleaned, for they would have left me on the instant. Moreover, I was afraid to complain, fearing tbey might give me a bad came. Saturday ca ne without my finding their successors. The nurse that wp.s with me was a comfort, and so we managed as we brtt could: but now ner may could only aepna on her services not being: oallud for. With my former servant" I had never wd aaj kitchen allowances they were treated jnst as my mother's had been: they made their tea from oar supply; sugar and butter they ased at their own discretion; they were neither extravagant nor wasteful. . i During my month's absence from the house hold I had directed that no bills should be paid till I was about auain, but thai everything ordered was to be entered in a book. On In specting this I was astounded at the quantity of articles coneunied tea, sugar, bacon, and Dut ter enough for a family of a dozen people, and I had no remedy but to pay for the roVbory. Nothing was loit, not even a piece of soap or jar ot drippine. My husband and myself were sur prised at the unprincipled mistress who had given such excellent characters with these ser vants; and as her rcnidonee lay in the way of his daily route, he volunteered to call aud re monstrate upon the deception which had vic timized us. The lads; received and listened to him with all courtesy, and exploined that she had answcied all my inquiries satisfactorily, rrnt it was out of her way to volunteer inform ition; that the trills had left because she could not give high wagos, as sho did much of the work herself, such as dusting, making pastry, and alBo constantly overseeing them. Besides, she never deprived girls of characters for want of cleanliness, because that was only a matter of opinion; the dirt some ladies would not tolerne, others would think scarcely worth notice. Servants were not to be had as formerly; there was no one to train them. If girls were honest, it was all that must be looked for, the mistresses must make them do their work welL "But their extravagance was great. Allen, did you mention this ?" "Yes. but Mrs. Plater said it was better to nllow thi girls the articles they would require lor their own use, look up all the re.it. and give out a daily supply lor the family's consump tion." "Lockup!" I exclaimed; "I never did such a thing in my lite, muI how can I tell how much they will eat and drink! I don't think evsn niutnnia knows, tor I am sure she never put her servants on allowances." "Then call on Mrs. Slater and ak her; she is a shrewd woman and I don'lfjthink the minxes would have served her as they have vou." This advice did not quite snit me. I said I would consider. Meantime I sought and ob tained two other servants, one an elderly woman, the other about twenty, both with good characters. All went on pretty well for a time, but it is necessary to recollect the pro verb: "The eye of the toaster is of more worth than both his hands." I now Icgati to find that the housekecpins was running beyond the sum allowed for it; the consumption of butter, tea, and coffee was nearly as much agaiu ai in the previous year! tor ourselves we consumed no more than usual, but there was waste or peculation somewhere. I said at last to the cook that, as my expenses were increasing, I must devise some plau to lessen them. "I will give you nnd Mary sutlicicnt tea aud sucrar for a week, and you had better give me the key, and I will regulate the consumption." The storm of words this proposal raised I long remembered. She quickly replied that "no lady would do sieh things," and as she was not to bo trusted she would leave that day month; and leaveslie did, successfully usingali her lutluence with Mary to accompany her. The next lady this cook went to she told her our place dia not suit her, as we were mean enough, to starve our servants. So soon is a bad name given to a place by unprincipled characters. The next help I obtained from a registry oflice in a neighboring town. I was very averse to This course, but a fortnight with but a day-woman's assistance made me glad to cet servants from any source. This tune I determined to control the expenditure, , and the verbal agreement I made with thorn was most precise. I was to give them so much money beyond their wages, that they might find themselves in ten, sugar, and washing. After obtaining personal and sat isfactory characters. I leli like one irom wuom a great burder. has been lffted. Now, I thought tnere can be no cause of dissatisfaction. Alas ! alas! thing? went just the same. If I left tne loom with the lea-caddy unlocked, its contents speedily vanished; the auger went iaMT than ever; and the butter, of course that was always consumed in the parlor, aud the eggs were U3ed in the puddings. 31 a nun a came to spend a ween wun U9. ana 10 her I unfolded my trouble. I had shrunk hitherto from telling her my misery, fearing she uiiaht think I was a bad manager, but she con soled ne by saying that cobd servants tor middle-cla's families were not to be had they had all emigrated; among the higher class it wus altogether different. but what ought i to anow ior a servant's consumption!" I asked. "This is my .great trouble." Just the Quantity you consume yourself, ex cepting in the article of tea, and of this I would give tliem an extra allowance, because a cup of tea is to them as refreshing a? a glass of wine, and when thev are working hard a stimulant ot thin kind Is very grateful. Give me a pencil and 1 will write down wnat is a noerai out necessary weekly allowance for each servant: A quarter of a pound ot tea; half a pound of sugar; half a pound of butter. The washing, too, if you put it out. must be limited for theui, or vou will have w hite sleeves and frilled or worked petti coats to pay "You may fancy the tea is rather extravagant. but it is only two tcaspoonfuls at break last and the same at tea for each ; it they choose to drink conee insteaa oi tea, by an means let mem nave it three quarters of a pound to each. Bread. cheese, and meat, of course, as much as they Dlcae. but no waste. Bread is a verv rjroiitlc tonrce of disagreement; the tops aud bottoms ot the loaves, tne weii-hngered crusts that have been lelt from grating bread crumbs, are all waited thrown or given away to beggars, who in their turn despise them and throw them in anv convenient secret place; they never eat them. Don't sutler bread to be used in this way for crumbs. Out oil the loaf as thick or thin a blice as may be needed, pare on" the crust, and set it by to be eatea at the first opportunity; peel otf, also, the hard or outnide aud give to the birds, then the remainder break up aud rub through a colander there will be no waste; aud in cutting bread for 'dinner, pare off a very thin slice of tne outsuie, as uo oue iikcs tuis, ana ir needed cut the loaf to within a finger's length of the bottom, then divide it into six pieces, and there will be no waste. 'The cutting of bread should, as in olden time, be seen to by the mis-tress. One loat ought to be consumed betore another is cut, and new bread on no account be eaten. I am glad there is no side-door to your bouse. I knew one lady with a large grown-up family, wbo, closing this up, her bread bill was re duced four shillings a week. All the pieces naii gone to the beguars, wuo tnrew tnem away." "But, mamma, 1 allowed the last servants money to find their tea and suar: why could they not be content, and not take mine V Why not, inueed! himply because they do not consider the taking of these articles to be theft, so save their money, and supply them selves from your stores, to which keys are no bariiere. 1 know au instance where ior a fort night lady regularly tilled her sugar-basin and tea-caddy, kept them locked, but used none her sell, yet the contracts were daily abstracted; of course the thiet was discharged. I observe you keep beer in the house; it you can trust your servants with the key.it is all very well; but unfortunately the love of drink Is so powerful, that it is a dangerous experiment." "Why are gills so tiresome, to want all this supervision! I am sure I would gladly let thern "have all they desire if they would not pi Her." "1 can't tell you why tbey are so; all you have to do is to prevent, as much as possible, waste ful expenditnre. You muBt not expect to keep yonr servant! for years, as many people once could; they are altogether becorao a different race; ihey oanuot be left to their own guidance, but must be ruled. It is not sufficient to give them the order of the day, and arrange their times tor doing their work, but you must also see that it is done." "Mrs. Reeves tolls me that she keeps evert drawer and closet locked; it seems to mo a des picable act it looks to suspicious." rnc word ladv 1 derived from the Saxon, and means "to eor ye bread." "The best way to avoid giving offense, Janet, Is to adopt a rood plan, and then keep to It. if every place and diawcr are unlock od when a servant first comes to the house, and after a week you suddenly lock up, It is a grave matter of offense to an innocent girl; she leels herself suspected, and Is unhappy; but If it be your constant practice, this habit of locking, why no offense is given, none taken, and an hone.it girl ould preier to live under a methodical mistress rather than under a careless one; though I have know n a cook to leave a good situation because the key of the store closet was not intrusted to hei ktcpiiitr. and a bouse-mnid because ber mistress kept her drawer locked. Servants who show these Impertinences should he dls charced at once. "You will find sonp and candles speedily dis appear In nnthriity hnud; both must be limited. Soda, alwo, though very inexpensive, will be lavi-hly used, to the detriment of most things; aud a supcrtluitv of matches will be wasted, either in binning or in throwing them on The floor, to t ho danter of their Igniting aud setting somi body on tire. (Jive a liberal allowance oflood and drink, but save when you can in the liitlp things, lor they insensibly amount to a good sum in the year. "I remember when we lived near London how much was wasted in wood for lighnnj fires. MoFt servants used a half-penny bundle for oue fin-, or they would let the tire get low. and so burn wood to make the water boil, just like the makeshift ways of the poor. Wo oue half penny biiLdle should light three tires. With every new servant I had. there was at first dis content in this matter, till I showpd how It could be done with eveii a less quantity. I generally finished my lesson by saying, 'You will tliauk n:e lor this win n you become a wife,' at wuich there was a titter and good-humor returned. All this hnppened before "yon were born, and when 1 could only allord very indifferent help. For eleven years, you will recollect, I kept Sarah und her sister, so that you saw none of this ti ouble." "liutnow.mamma.abont thesoap and caudles; kiiTcly I cannot limit these." "Ii'ileed you must, or you will have half a pound oi soup lelt to soak away in uo time, two or three candles lit up at once, aud the ends be thrust into the grate to light the kitchen fire, with no heed to the grease which drops on the hearth below, and when the hot cinders fall, fills the house with a detestable odor." "Now then, mamma, tell me what is really ncetssary lor one servant's weekly supply. I mean not only in food, but in soap, candles, and soda, and the cloths 1 must give them tor their work. Money goes last in this way, nnd bey declare they have not had them, and that 1 make a mistake when saying they have. Just tell me, and I will write it down at once. Say lor a general servant." "Tea, a quarter ot a pound. Or col'ee, three-quarters ot a pouud. Sugar, hall a pound. Soup, hull a pound. ii to wash her owu clothes, a second pound, t-oda, one pound. "Cam lies must be calculated arcordiii: half to ft whether thnn-is una or not used, and whether work in the inoriiin", has to be done by candle light: but never give out more than half a pouud at ;i time, and observe tnat the pieces are burned in the candlestick. "Seven cloths for wiping crockery; two house-llmiuels one lor the doors, made of old flannel doubled and strongly quilted together with coarse cotton, and a sect nil for the steps a piece ol much-worn lelt carpet answers best; two dish-cloths, a kitchen roller-towel, aud one table-cloth; two scouring leathers, a scrubbing brush made of fibre, and a pail; also a large but not too rough towel tor her bed-room. "A housemaid, in addition to the requisites ot tea, sugar, etc., will need only hull' a pound ol soap in a fortnight for her upBtairs wori. for rooms should never be scrubbed with soup; they get greasy and dark.

"Both servants must have provided a yard and a half ol common American cloth, tor lay ing down before a fireplace, not to injure the carpets when cleaning the grate." "But, mamma, 1 have a piece of felt carpet nailed down on the space which the rug covers, for I am quite sure the eervants would not take tho trouble to bring up the cloth."
