When The Mistress Is "Lady "
In the May Jjitdie Home Journ
al, Ktlwartl J5ok notes that "the
college yv now nearing its clone
has a nignifinint inijMirtance in the
tact tlmt during it tlie higher eduea
tioii ot the young woman has shown
a strong domestic; trend. This has
Ixi-ii true of nearly all the important
women V col leges t h mi igliout the land.
It is true that the field hasonlybeen
entered. Hut the begining has liecii
made, and the domestic course has
proven, in every instance heard from
the most jxtpular innovation of re
cent years. There is only
one true solution of theservant-girl
problem, and it must Ik; shared, part
and jwirt each ; by the servant and
mistress. JJefore we can haveintel
ligent service in our homes we must
have domestic training-schools.
1 Iere and there in our country these
schools are springing up, and they
will multiply fast when their neces
sity and results are better under
stood and seen. Well-etjiiipped
training-schools will produce well
ejuipjed servitx', and domestic ser
vice will, through their influence,
Utxiiue an art and a profession.
Hut while the servant is
undergoing her domestic training, it
is equally necessary that the mistress
should become Ix'tter acquainted
with the domestic arts so that she
may intelligently direct, where the
other intelligently works. These
two must go together: the one with
out the .other is not enough. If the
girl of to-day exjnicta, when sheisa
wife, that her servant sliall do her
work in a comj)ctent manner, she as
the mistress, must be competent to
direct. She roust herself understand
the 'work she asks her maid to do."

The enclosed Declaration I would
like simply to have placed on your
records. The heirs of Joseph Hall
are making endeavor to get the
estate proiierly settled up and us a
timely warning, I would like to
have the iapcr go on record. The
"Ilevive Greyhounds" is a motto

A slip containing the following
printed notice accompanied the letter.
From lite Washington Pout, June
IS, ISOi.
The recurrence of "Flag Day"
last week brought to mind to Mr.
Joseph I. Keefer the planting of the
American flag n Alaskan soil.
Mr. Keefer accompanied the Seward
State Department expedition to
Alaskain 18(7, as aid-de-camp to
Capt. T. K. Ketchum. The flag
that was unfurled as Alaska was
officially taken possession of was the
first ever planted in Russian America.
Supposing thix bit of historical
hunting to have been lost sight of
during the intervening years. Mr.
Keefer who is last survivor of the
expedition, instituted a search last
week to ascertain its fate, it jxrasible.
Greatly to his satisfaction, the Hag
was found inalmx Ix-lmid the orignal
Declaration of Independence, in the
State Department Building. The
flag is not on exhibition, w hich
probably accounts for the fuct that
it has jassed out of the memory of
all but the man who was on the
sjwt when its unfolding colors
proclaimed the presence and domina
tion of Uncle Sam in that far away
region.
