This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII KEEPING HOUSE WITH A SERVANT THE young couple who have never kept house usually have the most liberal ideas of the amount of work that may be accomplished by one servant. This is especially likely to be the view of the man. He seems to have even less sense of proportion than his wife--and that is putting the matter pretty strongly. The woman who begins to keep house with one servant has her mental and physical attitude toward the work of the house determined almost altogether by the sort of life she has led before her marriage. If she has passed most of her days in hotels or boarding-houses or in a home where there has been a large domestic staff, ready to fulfil every need, she is not prone to comprehend the limited powers ot one maid. If, on the contrary, the young housekeeper has been a member of a small household where few servants were employed, she is by way of being considerate of her servant and of appreciating the many little items there are in housework that take time and strength and yet look like nothing when they are done. On this consideration or lack of it will much of the comfort of the new home depend. Domestic servants are like other human beings and quickly resent injustice or any form of imposition. If they once get it into their heads that the new mistress is inclined to demand too much work for her money there is bound to be trouble. Bearing this in mind, the young housekeeper must be wary when she engages her maid. If she herself has had no experience in such work, --and many a girl has done for years the work of engaging servants for a mother or a married sister, --it is well for her to enlist the kindly offices of some friend who can supply the knowledge she lacks. For everything depends in making it.
