The wearing of heavy clothing is a mis take. Dr. Bill writes: Babies and children now-a-days are very often gross ly overclothed.

In their faciliar black dress and white cap and aprons 3.000 newly trained wait. resses are on duty in the restaurants and cafés of the British Empiri Exhibition at Wembley. In the few works before the opening they were taught the proper way to bold a plat, to lay a table, and to present a bill..
These duties, and many others, were taught in a waitress acailemy" at St. John'square, Finsbury, C., to class of 10 girls at a time. In turn, the girl were stomers and waitressess cus- tomers they were freely allowed to criticise.
