Ladies' Maids Again
The return of long skirts, frills, laces, and flounces means that women are much more dependent on tho services of their maids, or "abigails," as they used to be called in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to ensure tho freshness of evening frocks after travelling (states a Londoner). One of the amenities of a well-known London club, that is much appreciated by the members, is the valeting service. Every morning ladies' maids come round to tho members' bedrooms to iron, press, mend, and repair clothes, and members from tho country up for a few days' enjoyment arc quick-to hike advantage of this service. There a'ro also bedrooms for the maids of member.*, with connecting bolls.
