LADIES'-MAIDS BY THE HOUR.
Ladies'-maids by the hour is the latest klen for the tired busincas wonan, who has not time to look after her clothes herself (says a "Daily Chronicle” writer); The originator of the scheme is a Uni- versity graduate, who was in com- mand of a section of the W.A.A.C. during the war.
"Whenever I am working.. else. where. I find that one of the chic! dimculties is Anding time to keep my clothes in order" this woman told me. "Mending has to be of the hastlest, and one never has time to press clothes, as that everything wears out and becomes shabby sooner than is necessary. Many business women are in the same plight, so I am hoping that the Busy Woman's Valeting Service, which I have just started, will prove a real help and economy.".
Shopping is also difficulty to the girl who works regular office hours, and usually a shopping ex- pedition means a lunchless day to her. Part of the work of this new woman's service is to have expert shoppers who can help the busy woman in this way.
The visiting indies-maids also are adept at packing, so that any woman who is going on holiday and who has no regular maid, can have temporary help in getting her clothes into her trunks in the right
way.
