Show Is Tbla u Gofiil Iilt a? Why does not some enterprising per- j son establish an intelligence office where ! it will be possible to hue fractional sery- j antts? j Every housekeeper knows that ln 1 work of a household seldom comes out in terms of an even number of servants. There is always a little too much for the servants to do or not enough. If there are two maids there is generally work enough to occupy the time of about two and a half; if there are six seiTants there is not more than wtmld suffice to keep five and a quarter busy, and in general gen-eral tenns there is never an exact agreement agree-ment between the labor to be performed und the persons hired to perform it. Now all this could be obviated by tfc plan of having an office for fractional servants. This might le accomplished in one of two ways. Either the time of a single person might lie distributed among different houses, or those servants who are in reality only tqnal to alxmt half the work a real servant would do, could le properly estimated and let out as half servants, quarter servants, or whatever fraction really suited their case. The idea is not so whim sical as it mijjht at first seem, and it is certainly one the carrying out of which would relieve re-lieve the mind of many a housewife of no inconsiderable burden.
