Ask the New Servant These Questions.
As our domestic servants are agitating for superior advantages, it would perhaps be as well to know what they would like before engaging them. The following- questions to be asked of a servant seeking- employment may be found useful to anybody before engaging. At what hour would you like to dine? Do you prefer a "flag” or a "Honiton lace” butterfly for |he head? Do you like your breakfast in bed? At what hour would you like to rise and retire? How many days in the week would you like to have to yourself? Do you prefer a feather bed or a hard mattress? Do you prefer a southerly aspect for your bedroom in preference to any other? Were you accustomed to carriage exercise in your last situation?
