Translated into terms of Americr.n saving, this service idea would mer.a, "Do not hire any one to do what you can do for yourself in spare i^ne m less you find it Erectly profitable." Few Americans are really honr-t with themselves as to the cost c.i s-u vices. Not one family in a hundr -d really knows what a servant actually costs. Most of them place the co-.t of her wages and fail to count in her food, light and other tiling-- she con sumes. Most of them, moreover, have no way of figuring correctly the exfa waste of food or extra breakage or wear and tear due to the fact th it the servant does not have the interest of ownership for making things go : s far as possible. Few families know at the end of the year the important total that the "odd jobs" man or hedr;e cutter or grass trimmer has cost them for service that might as well have been rendered as recreation or need ed outdoor exercise by the man or boys of the family. This, of course, does not mean that no service should be purchased. Where a housewife's time is worth more in money or other contribution to family well-being than the cost of a servant she makes a profit by employ ing some one who frees her to do bet ter paid work than household tasks.
