It was a great blow to our Young
kitchen maid when Mrs Wicks announc-

she was already learning many things
Ithat were a decided advantage:to her.

the girl for being willing to receive this
valuable instruction ' No dressmaker,
or milliner, pays full wages until her
apprentice girls have learned the buse

and in some instances nu pay at all, they
increase it as the girl improves, and not
until she is master of her trade does she
get full price for her work. This is en-
tirely jut. The rules governifig house

bring reference as to competency and
character from her last place, and if this
reference be given by a just, censcien-
