She will also arrange about lec tures on hygiene and domestic science.

Each pupil will wear a cap, apron and cuffs, and do the cooking at her own desk on a gas stove, and. whatever she cookc will be her own to taste and criticise. Elderly women would enjoy forming a class and so compare modern methods with those of years ago, Tvhen all women were notable house keepers. Mistresses should know ex actly how work ought to be done, and young housekeepers would save them selves and their husbands much deep tribulation by taking a thorough course. Girls who wish to be good cooks and waitresses would feel the ;oy of being capable and worth good wages, If they would take the course to earn, a di ploma from this school. The women hope that all the teacjiers in the higher grades in the public schools will talk of these lessons to their pupll3fas Miss Porter is finding it very difficult to get around to all the schools, being so busy with the furnishing of the kitchen. Classes for school girls will be held on "Wednesday afternoons, also Saturdays, both forenoon and afternoon. SERVANT GIRLS IN SWEDEN There the Mistress Is Really Mistress of Her Household. Down In these country towns, and In fact everywhere in Sweden except In Stockholm and one or two other of the larger cities, domestic servants are en gaged under contracts for at least six months and generally for a year, says W. E", Curtis in a, letter from Stock holm. On the 24th of April and the 24th of October contracts are always made and service always terminates on one of those days. Girls who come In from th country to seek employment as servants gather In the market place on the morn ings of those das, -where an official from the police department Is present to look after them. They usually bring recom mendations from the village pastor as to their character and previous conduct and from their former employers If they have been In service before. Some may be for tunate enough t'o have a testimonial from the Burgomaster or a merchant or some other dignitary who Is known by repu tation. Their names, ages, places of birth and former residences are all taken down by the police officials, who also make briefs of the recommendations they carry. During the morning housekeepers who are In want of servants come to the mar ket plaee. The official in charge tells them the name and the record of each girl, and there are usually personal in terviews. When a housekeeper finds a satisfactory candidate she crosses her hand with silver that is, gives her from 2 to 3 kroner as earnest money, and tells her to report at her residence on the date she names. In the meantime the police official has taken down the terms of the agreement, the names of the em ployer and the employed, the amount of wages and the length of service agreed upon. Girls who are already in service and de sire to make a change file a notice with this official, who already has their rec ommendations and what you may call their domestic history on his books. He thus acquires the name, sge, character and reputation of every servant in town. PIANO RLOW - ' ' , BEATRICE RA Assisted by Paul Wessinger A SELECT PROGRAMME THAT WILL -' APPEAL TO MUSIC LOVERS.

When Bhe picks out the girl she wants the lat ter Is sent to her house for a personal Interylew and bears a card which must be returned to headquarters within 24 hours after jt is Issued. If the Interview Is not satisfactory the grl brings back the card and waits for another chance. If It Is satisfactory the lady of the house fills out the blanks with the date and term of employment, the wages agreed upon and Other facts affecting the con tract. If the girl Is not satisfied at the end of a certain time she must go to police headquarters or to the municipal official In charge of that business and state her grievance, He makes an Investigation and acts as a sort of judge In the case If the family Is not pleased with their servant after trial they apply to him and are compelled to abide by his decision. No girl can be discharged or obtain her release during her term of employment without his consent. If a girl desert? her employer she may ba arrested and punished by a fine or Imprisonment and forfeit her claims to future consideration of the employment bureau. It will be im possible for her to get another place. If her employer refuses to pay her wages -or does not treat her proporly she can appeal to the nearest magistrate for re dress. The wages of servants are very low, particularly In the small towns. A. good cook can be obtained for ?4 or ?5 a, month. A first-class cook sometimes commands twice as much In large families, but only among the aristocracy. A housemaid ex pects from 52 50 to ?5 a month and a maid of all work In families where only one servant Is employed must bo paid a little more. ii i BOYS SHOULD BE BEATEN. An Eijfflish Opinion That the Birch Should Not Be Spared. London Express. The American Ambassador, MrChoate, Is popular with the small boy in these days. Little Jimmy and tiny Tommy aro ready to throw their hats In the air and utter as many cheers as the American rcpresentati e would care to listen to, Mr. Choate's name being the text of their en thusiasm. Mr. Choate. dealing out prizes at the University College School, also distributed the opinion that corporal pun ishment Is all wrong, and that the birch and the cane should be broken Into smith ereens, and the smithereens thrown Into the great elsewhere. At this particular school the pupils are never beaten The spectacle of a master working himself up Into a rage, and, stick In hand, chasing a wretched boy, does not occur In the Gower-street seat of learn ing, although the sight Is not yet obsolete as to the whole of England's schools. The method at the University College School Is one of moral suasion. The youth who refuses to learn or who be haves In a disorderly manner is sent In awful state to the room of the head master or of his assistant, and there lee. tured for his shortcomings.- They have or had a system of an "appearing book " This Is sent for and brought In In the most solemn state. In the presence of the whole class the name of the culprit and an account of his misdeeds are en tered. Later he Is arraigned for grim trial. - , Many boys would prefer to be seized and whacked and have it over, but- It Is found, so the school authorities allege, that moral suasion Is more effective In reforming them. Mr. Choate comes from a country where in 'theory the person of the individual Is regarded as eo sacred that the small boy Is not trounced with a birch. Many people who have had deal ings with the American small boy attrib ute his bad manners, his "freshness" and his offenslvenebs to this very fact. Experts In the matter tell us that It Is Impossible to develop a boy without a certain allowance of cane. Old maids and old bachelors believe that a boy can be governed by standing him In a corner or depriving him of his bread and jam. This statement the aforesaid exports greet with an incredulous guffaw. It Is hardly likely that Mr. Choate was ever confronted with the Irritating situation of a small boy making a grimace at him and div ing under the table. If he had been so confronted, he would have found It more easy to rout him out of his hiding-place with a vigorously used broomstick than to extract him with the honeyed words which he uses so well In diplomacy. Papas who know what they are talking about say that the moral suasion plan is a success with little girls. These should never be slapped They are more sensi tive and refined by nature than the hob bledehoy young male, and they respond more readily to appeals to their Intellect. For the present It is likely that the Brit ish parent will not dispose of the penny cano or of the lath. Tills Implement used by builders in tne construction of ceilings is cheaper than bamboo, and Is a very effectlve article. A boy of 13, tradition says, cannot be managed by a woman at all. This Is be cause the woman employs the arguments of diplomacy, like Mr. Choate.

My Lord, we must Have a shoulder of mutton for a prop erty. Now, both these quotations show that "properties" three centuries ago consist ed of much the same things as they do today. The mention of properties in the stage directions of old plays are fre quent; a few instances must suffice. In Greene's "James IV" we are directed to have "a tctnb conveniently placed upon the stage," while in the same author's "Alphonsus of Aragon'' we read, "Exit OPEHR wouse MATINEE SAT URDAY AT 2;15 400 PERFORMANCES IN NEW YORK 300 NIGHTS AT THE SHAFTESBURY, LONDON -21WSIC BV - -IN- 2vf AD01 PH EVERYTHING UP TO DATE CHAS.
