Duties of Lady's Maid
To tha Editor of Woman's Pnoe:
Dear Madam Will you kindly tell ma what
the duties of a lady'a maid are and her hours
for work, etc, 7 It. D.
The duties .of a lady's maid vary with
each mistress. Some require their maids to
dress their hair, massaco them, etc., while
others do not make thtstlpulatlon. A maid
should be carefully .trained, however, In
taking care of her mTstress's clothes, as
sisting her to clrcsa and to undress, putting;
clothes away, keeping (hem In repair and,
In fact, attending- to every detail of the
boudoir. In some households aho does all
or the mending for the family and takes
care of the children at times. Her hours
are very long, as 'sho must wait up until her
mistress returns from functions, and in the
morning- must be "on hand early. Some
employers nro very ktna and considerate,
making the work a pleasure, but If they
are exacting the position often is very dis
agreeable. Marriage Between the American and

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
"il! ma ailAHAM, how perfectly ox-
yJ quliltel"
Mrs, Underwood, while removing her
wraps In my room, had cnuffht sight ot the
embroidered spread nnd pillow sllpi I had
put on my bed In honor of my guests. After
her ultimatum to my husband nnd hers
nbout drinking anything before the arrival
of the Ltsters, the other guests of my little
chnflng-dlsh supper, they had solaced
themselves with cigars, and I hnd cobductod
her to my room, I resented her coming so
early, but woman-like, my feelings were
soothed by her genuine admiration of the
wedding gift I prized so hlfshty
"1 am Rind you tike It," 1 said primly
"Llko it'" Sho bent closer In scrutiny
of the tiny roses, so beautifully done, which
ran riot over the spread. "Don't tell mo
that you did this work yourself, or I ehall
be so frightfully Jealous I shall claw your
cyet out." , .,,, ., -
"Unfortunately I am not so skillful, I
returned. "Tho spread and slips were a
wedding gift, tho work of a very dear in
valid friend of mine."
"Do you suppose she would do some tor
me?" she asked eagerly. "I would pay
her anything sho wished. You simply can t
get work llko this In tho shops unless you
pay not only what tho work Is norm, but
profit cnouKli besides to enablo the pro
prlctor to buy nn extra car or so
"I do not think she would enre to do the
work for money." I began, with a touch of
hauteur How daro this woman talk of
employing a friend of mlno? Why did she
assumo that the donor of thli exquisite Rift
would bo willing to work for pay? Then
a touch of snnlty camo to mo. To Lillian

"nut I shall be 'cry Blad to nsk her," I
wont on, lamely enough "Her Btrength Is

"In Just n minute," sho rcpllrd, taking
a lip Blick, a tiny pot of rouga and n powder
puff from tho dainty natln bag she carried,
and proceeding to touch up her face,
I tried not to let her seo tho repugnance
I felt toward tho performance. Her make

Wriggle to her gown, she patted my shoulder
kindly.

had recently seen, As wo enterod tho room
both mon of courso sprang to their feet,
nnd I had a moment's opportunity to con-i
trust their nppearanco. Dicky la slender,
lltho, with morry brown eyes nnd thick
brown hair, with a touch of auburn In It,
and Just enough suspicion of a curl to glvo
him sovoral minutes' hard brushing each
day trying to l.eep it down. Hnrry Under
wood, tailor even than Dicky, who la above
the medium lielRht, is massive In frame,
well knit, muscular, with black hair tinged
with gray, nnd tho blackest, -most piercing

Dicky as I stood looking at them, whilo
l.llllan exchangod somo merry nonsense
with Dicky, but I also had to acknowledge
that Harry Underwood was a splendid
specimen of manhood.
A COMPHLLINQ PHRSONAMTY
As If ho had rend my thoughts, his oyes
caught mlno and held them. To all appear
ance ho wan listening to tho banter of
Dicky nnd IiIb -wlfo, but thoro wai an In
scrutable look Mn his eyes, an enigmatical
smllo upon his lips, as he looked nt mo
that vaguely troubled me. His glance, hit
smllo, seemed significant somehow, na If
we were old friends who held somo humor

And I had never seen him but onco before
In my life. I shrugged my shoulders over
so slightly. It is a habit of mlno when I
am displeasod or wish to throw off somo
unpleasant Bensatlon or memory. I was
almost unconscious of having used the
gesture. I3ut Harry Underwood crossed
the room as if It had been a signal, and
stood looking down quizzically at me.
"Llttlo lady," he began, "you shouldn't
hold a grudge so well. It doesn't harmonize
with your eyes and your mouth. They wero
meant for kindness, not seterlty. If there
is any way that I can show you I am hum
bled to tho dust for coming hero with
Dicky the other night Just name it. I'll do
any penance you say."
"You must be mistaken. Mr. Underwood,"
I strove to control my voice. "I havo no
grudge whatever against you, so you see
you ate absolved in advanco from any

"Will you shake hands on It?" Ho put
out his large, white, beautifully formed
hand and grasped mine before I had half
extended It.
I felt myself flushing hotly. Of all tha
absolutely tdlotlo things In the world, this1
standing hand In hand with Harry Under

forgiveness or whatever he Imagined tho
handclasp signified, was the most ridiculous.
He was quick enough to fathom my dis

DEESS VANITIES REAL HELPS
TO HIDE DEFECTS OF BEAUTY
,C j, i By lucrezia BORI
Prima Donna ot the Metropolitan Opera Company
T majority of womn are conscious ot
their physical defects, and It Is only nat
urat that they should try to conceal them.
Fashion docs what she can to aid her fol
lowers In this matter, nnd Invents all sorts
nf little vanities ot
dresi that will enhance
beauty.
These defects are
most discouraging
when milady dona her
evening gown, for
thero nro no long
sloeves to concent the
bony arms or high col
lar to oovor tho
scrawny neck. Thick
anklet aro exposed by
short skirts, and the
"saving grace" of high
shoes can onlv rnmn
LUCItEZIA llOItt. lo tno rescUo when
street clothes aro worn.
When the sleeveless evening gown became
so popular tho wily damo, knowing that not
every woman hnd a faultless pair of shoul
ders nnd a beautiful neck, decreed that n.
long scarf of cloiitMIke tulle should bo worn
with decollete gowns. This bit of gossamer
can bo artistically wrapped about the neck
and shoulders, concealing bony hollows and
prominent cords, so that tho features of tho
wearer aro softened to a remarkable degree.
FOIl AHM8 AND ANKLES
To cll tho defects of long, bony arms,
"angel" sleeves became the vogue. Those
long, (lowing bltn of tulle or chiffon no?
only Improve unattractlto arms, but they
lend grace and charm to tho gown.
Thick, clumsy nnklen nro not so easily
concealed ua other physical defects. You
can, howecr. make them appear 'ess heavy
by wearing nil-black footgear nt nil times.
WELL-DRESSED
GIRL'S DIARY
A Variety of the Very Latest
Handbags
YESTERDAY wo wero sitting mound the
open llro In Anno Bradley's library
sewing Our tongues wero ns buty as our
lingers, Blnco each girl Insisted upon mak
ing something different for Ada Stocn's
trousseau now that tho handbags wero on
their "last lap " Wo Just couldn't agree on
any ono thing, and tho final decision was to
mnko whatever wo wanted to.
Tho five handbags, In which wo wore sew
ing tho linings, were so attractive that
Marlon fkmard said they could easily pass
ns Frnch "creations."
Mnrltm Is a wonder at crocheting, so
sho mado a lovoly Ilomrtn striped bag. At
tho base tho stripes nro purple, dull
green, antique rose, gold and black.
Through tho center she ctocheted a wide
band of dark blue und at tho top used
black, rose and gold, with a wldo band of
dark hluo nt.tho edge. Sho threaded a
dark-bluo cord through tho top and finished
the bottom with it large tnssel In ltoman
colorings. Tho lining Is of da.rlc-bluo silk.
Of qulto a different character Is tho cun
ning llttlo beaded bag that Nell Clark
mado. It Is of dark-bluo grosgraln silk or
namented with a steel-bended design. It
looks ory complicated, but Nell hadn't
any troublo whatever making It First,
thero is a pouch-llko bag beaded In ertlcal
lines. Beads were threaded on the needle,
three at a time, and Bewed fast to tflo silk
until tho design was covered. The next
Btep was to make a pointed frill to hang
bolow tho drawstring. It has four points,
which Nell outlined with a dainty beaded
design. Then sho added a single row of
beads nbout the very1 top and finished each
point of tho frill nnd tho bottom of tho
bag with tiny steel-beaded balls. Tho draw
btring of a narrow hluo grosgraln ribbon,
and the eyelets at the Bides aro buttonhole
stitched with blue silk. Nell choso a blue
brocaded silk for the lining.
Some of the season's very newest
handbags.
The most original of the handbags Is tho
work ot Janet Stlllman's clever brain and
lingers. It consists of two flat sections
ot black velvet shaped like the old-fashioned
rush baskets. There Is a narrow
handto Instead of drawstrings, through
which the arm Is slipped and each side Is
ornamented with Polret roses which Janet
fashioned ot colored taffeta In tones of
dull rose, purple and blue. She twisted tha
stems and molded the leaves of dull-green
silk. The bag is lined with black satin
and fitted with a change purse, mirror and
powder puff, tucked into the pockets of
tho lining. ,
trover have I seen any one who loves
bright colors moro than Florence Dean
She absolutely refuses to make anything

ese silk in a metallic brocaded design. The
colorings are blue, gold, rose and black.
"Flo" made a pouch bag and edged the
top with a narrow band of skunk, Then
she wound gold cording about the top of
a skunk tall and attached It to the bottom
of the bag. The lining is ot roae-cotored
silk and the cord black.
My bag Is the simplest of them all, I
made It to correspond with Ada's suit of
midnight blue velvet, trimmed with ermine.
The bag portion is a circle of velvet gath
ered about the edge. To this J, added a
four-Inch cuff o. ermine and lined the bag
with white brocaded satin. The handles
aro of midnight blue ribbon velvet. Instead
ot using a tassel to trim the bottom I made
fUe velvet balls, stuffing them with cotton,
and hung them from loops of heavy twisted
silk.
Nell Is giving a "handbag" luncheon for
Ada tomorrow, so that wo can all be on
hand to see her "surprised."

HOUSEHOLD HINTS 1
The House or tho Baby?
iiTP IT wero not for tho babies I could
Xkcep my house In lmmaculato order,"
complained a young housekeeper. Sho had
novor qulto become reconciled to the con
fusion which tho two very small and very
Important young hopefuls brought Into her
household.
Nofhlng ever looked In perfect order. A
cherished bit of china or bric-a-brac was
oer so often smashed carelessly by the
baby hands. Dollies nnd draperies were
mysteriously pullad out of place. Small
Items from tho Bewlng room disappeared
constantly, only to turn up some duya later
in a wholly out-of-the-way corner. Worst
of nil, the Innumerable interruptions Inter
fered with her regular work, nnd too often
she had to mako quick decision should sho
attempt to beat (ho cako with ono hand
whllo sho held tho crying Infant In the
other, or shall sho nbandon tho cooking to
its scotched fnte In the kitchen stovo?
Ono of tho hard lessons for tho spick-and-span
young housekeeper to learn Is this: If
sho must do nil her own housework, It Is
foolish to attempt to keep the Innumerable
pretty but not wholly necessary decorations
scatterod hero and thero True, t)io dollies
and bric-a-brac and rare bits of decoration
aro lovely, and she feels almost heart
broken to hao to dismantle even In small
details a perfect llttlo homo. But, it must
bo remembered that all theso llttlo Items
and cute touches to tha houso lnvohe care.
It Is much bettor to put away In Btorago
tho precious llttlo decorations pack them
out of sight for n few yearn until the chil
dren are old enough to know that certain
things aro not to be touched, or until you
can teach them to handle fragile articles
carefully. Far better to havo them out of
Hlght than to leave Ihem exposed where
children can break them. Indeed, it Is bet
ter to pack them away and havo the room
look somewhat .bare than" to ,havo evelast
Ingly to say: "Ddn't totfeh that. Baby," or
tp becomo panlc-strlckeh nt etery Hound,
wondering whether that precious vaso has
been pulled off the tablo jind.smashcd. Or,
becoming BUsplcloUS of loo much peace, to
enter the dining room 'to find baby haB
pulled the embroidered dolly off tho table
and Is putting kitty to sleep in It
A hoUse need not necessarily look bare
when unnecessary decorations are removed.
Simple window draperies that aro not so
exceedingly delicate as to bo easily Injured
If baby catches hold of an end, a few flow
ers and plenty of sunlight are sufficient
decoration to mako a cheery room, und they
Imolvo tho least amount of work and worry
for the joung housekeeper with small chil
dren. Another point: It Is not a good plan to
begin a piece of work that must bo finished
without Interruption like cooking, floor
cleaning nnd similar tasks during baby'a
waiting hours. It makes work doubly hard
If you have to drop your mop to rush out
and pick up baby, who Is walling over a
naw lump, and then to have to rush back
and pick up tools and wonder where you
left off, in tha meantime realizing that
if ou do not hasten through, your day's
work will not be finished. Important clean
ing and cooking which require watching
Bhould be dono whllo the baby naps, so that
the work Is dono without Interruptions,
There are other taBks of the house which
can be done while watching the baby at play
llko mending and darning or simple sew
ing When there Is a small baby in the home
and the young housekeeper must do all her
own work, she must face tho fact that she
cannot possibly glvo the baby all the care
he needs, keep him and horself In good
Health, cook proper meals and still take
perfect caro of the little decorated house
that was so easy for her before the baby
came. Isn't It much better to let the deep
rations go temporarily and (o give first
consideration to baby and perional health?

CONGRESSWOMAN'S PRESENCE
MAY CHANGE CLOAK ROOM CODE
Miss Rankin's Coming Likely to Prevent Swapping of
Yarns, Snoozes and Lounges and Other Easygoing
Manners of the Lower House
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S
ATOBACCOLUSS nnd non-splttlng Con
gress Is one of tho possibilities of tho
new regime when Miss Joannctto Bankln,
America's first Congresswoman, takes her
seat In tho Capitol, according to Information
which Is seeping through from Washington,
whllo Congressmen, old nnd new, are ask
ing with bated breath, "What will becom"
of tho cloakroom manners?"
Now to the ordinary mortal, clonkroom
manners aro Just a sort of mth ThfV
lltde know or realize Just what is meant by
cloakroom manners But to tho Congress
man they aro a very serious matter. Tho
loss of them Is not to be taken lightly when
things nro too borcsomo In Congress Itself.
But will the cloakroom manner survive
the arrlal of a woman In Congress?-That
is a question which many anxious men have
been turning over In their minds, wondering
what tho outcome will bo. They realize that
the presence of n refined 'womanly woman
such as Miss Itankln Is may chango en
tirely their mode of living In Congress.
CALLS HEH A "GOOD FELLOW"
Jessie Hnrdy Stubbs Mnckaye, a prom
inent Washington BUfrrnelflJt, pronounces
Jeannelte Bankln a good fellow, a corking
good fellow and a. normal American girl,
who, having sat besldo her brothers at the
university, lias very much their views,
their psychology, their sociology and their
oconomics. In speaking of her and her
effect on Congress, Bhe paid: "She is tho
best stump speaker in Montana nnd she
can dance like a boarding school girl, and,
believe me, she will lead those Congress
men a merry little two-step when sho gets
thero."
Congressmen already seem afraid of that
very thing, according to Information ro
celved from Washington, which says that
tho men are asking what Is going to happen
when tho maid from Missoula takes her
seat In tho Capitol for the first time. In
fact, It Is already admitted that the man
who Bald that when she first gets up to
Bpeak "It will be tho most Interesting mo
ment around tho Capitol slnco Ben Jqhnson
plugged John Shields In tho Jaw or since
Buck Kllgore, of TexaB, kicked the door
In," Is pretty nearly right.
CLOAKROOM MANNERS
The reports coming from Washington
say that the Congressmen nro realizing sad
ly that cloakroom manners will have to
be Improved. They say themselves they
havo been rather free and easy, and admt
that the cloakrooms have been the havens
of refuge for those who wished to escape
speeches that their colleagues were making
for homo consumption.
The cloakrooms were the places to smoke
In, to spin yarns In, to sit around In one's
shirt sleeves In If one chose, nnd even
to take off one's shoes In. Sometimes the
august Congressmen went to Bleep on the
huge leather lounges. Then, too. In tho
cloakrooms there were the regular after
noon target matches, with the cuspidor as
the hull's eye. In the past, when Man
ruled the sacred precincts of tho cloak
room and dictated the manners ot said
cloakrooms, they were considered the one
place absolutely safe from feminine In
vasion. Now, they admit, they don't
know,
Then, too, there are all sorts of laugh
ing suggestions flying around. With tha
prospect of a very close division of the
narttea nnd a merry fight for tho speaker
ship, It Is suggested that Madame Speaker j

COMMEND "VOLUNTEERS"
Heads of numerous charltabla organtia-
M, D. Griffith, secretary (of the charities
bureau. Is now bending-every efTort (o hate
(he Salvation Army, Rescue Workers ot
America and other organttatlons follow the
example set by Colonel Herron and stop
Rtrect solicitations of all kinds during the
holiday ,rush. The Itescue Workers of
America place fake SU Nicks on the street
corners during the holidays, and tho Salva
tion Army places men on tho corners to col
lect money, H Is the contention of Mr. Grif
fith that Btrcet collections of all kinds are
uneconomic, because ho says that only a,
small portion bf (ho money collected In this
manner ctcr reaches tha beneficiaries for
whom It was originally Intended,
"1 talked with (ho eecrotary of (he Rescue
Workers of America today," said Mr
GrlilUh, "and he told me that they placed
ten or moro false Santa Clauses on the
streets during the Christmas holidays. He
said that the annual report of the or
ganization showed that tho Christmas col
lections amounted to nbout $1360 He was
not certain, however, that all that amount
was coHccled by the Santa Clauses. H
stated that tho cost of tho Santa Class
collections In salaries to fake St. Nicks,
etc, was about $460, or thlrty-flvo percent
of tho total
"These figures bear out my contention
(hat s(rcot solicitation is bad economics,
nnd that llttlo money slf(s down (o (ha
beneficiaries.
"Tho Charllles Bureau Intends to keep
hammering at this thlnR until street so

Home Missionary Society, 633 Arch street,

would not bo a half-bad compromise. Still
others aro professing to find a constitu
tional barrier to Jcnnncttc Rankin's taking
her seat becauso tho Constitution speaks
of a Rcprcsen(ntlvo ns 'lie."
Yet others ask what Jeannette will do In
caso of somo big light involving continuous
day nnd night sessions, since women are
prohibited by aw from working moro than
eight hours for pay In the District of
Columbia. And thero nro Inspectors v.hoe
duty It Is to enforce that law.
RULES FOR UNCLE SAM'S LAllOn
But thoso In Washington who have taken
the troublo to Investigate have found out
that Uncle Snm makes laws for other env
ploycrs of labor which do not apply to him
self. They find that tho department "day"
Is seven hours, but when departments are
busy, as In the War Department during the
period of mobilization and tho drafting of
tho National Guard Into tho United States
army nnd at tho close of tho fiscal year In
the Treasury, clerks are kept all hours, fre
quently far Into tho night, nnd the women
aro no moro exempt thnn men
True it is that Jeannette Rankin Is a IllUt
person to bo making Such a bother about.
Miss Rankin is small, slender and vivacious.
Even her most Intlmato friends disagree aa
to whether her eyes are brown or that sort
of gray which gets black when the owner
of those eyes is interested. Sho has a low)
well-modulated volco, which is far-reaching,
sympathetic nnd vlbratlngly feminine.
And she has red hair.
"Oh, sho Is a womanly woman, all rlghtj
mako no mistake about that," said ono of
a half dozen college degrees, but sho Is a
a half dozen colelgo degrees, but sho Is a
splendid cook, makes most of her own
clothes, nnd thero are moments when a new
hat Is of more vital Importance than .any
other mortal thing, Then, too, another
thing much In her favor Is that sho Is on9,
of tho best 'mixers' that ever went Into,
Congress."
