921 An Addition to the Gallery AlMost anybody can become Prominent, even in such serious times as the present, by claiming to have solved the servant problem. Hence the Hall of Fame is now open to Mrs. W. N. Berkeley, who has writ- ten a book (“ Wanted, Young Woman To Do Housework,” Moffat, Yard & Co.) on this amusing but more often tragic subject. Mrs. Berkeley, after declaring that in reality there is no servant problem, says she adver- tised in the “Help Wanted Female” department for an “employee” to work cight hours a day, and got one. Her sample cight-hour schedule is as follows: The employee (who lives at home, like any respectable person) arrives at 6:30, after having pre- viously cooked her own breakfast. She immediately takes full charge of all the children, After dressing them and preparing the breakfast, the cereal having been cooked the night before, she works until 10:30, when the mother returns from a walk. She then takes one hour for lunch, returning at 11:30. At 3:30 her work is over and she goes home. The mother has to stay home from then on, but, as Mrs. Berkeley ingeni- ously explains, the real work of the day is now over; all she has to do is to prepare the dinner for her husband and put the ehildren to bed. At a guess we venture to assert that she also cooks the cereal.
