THE papers say that Mrs. XX —
gave a large reception last week
and that her son is going to
marry a girl from Chicago. Well,
s!r, that boy deserves a reward of
some kind; he has been a regular lion
tamer in his time, although he may not
know it. Ix»rd! but lie was a tartar
when he was a kiddie and he'd come
honestly by it, too. It was a case of
Greek meeting Greek and he was the
winner.
When I see his mother's name in
the society columns I always have to
stop and recall my experience as a maid

tvas an undertaker in a little town
in Oregon. It must have been one of
those little mining towns where men
flocked during the gold excitf-ment and
women were scarce. It was nothing
but a scarcity of marriageable girls
that married her to John XX , I'm
sure of that.
A great many people came to the
house to see her and seemed to like
Mrs. XX — well enough, and theMjOrd
knows she was easy to work for. She
never did a lick herself, not so much
as picking up her own shoes, and she
How Meat Is Prepared for the Orthodox Jew
A i a. meeting ot a social club in
Washington which 1 recently at
tended there arose "a discussion as
to the healthfulnesa of refrigerated
meats. The conversation took a wide
turn, involving the comparative merits
of^ various meats, when Admiral X. re
marked that the most reliable of all
meats was kosher meat. He was
asked, "What is kosher meat?"
Th« admiral explained: "The first
condition or "kosher meat' is that it
must come from an animal killed by
the shochet. The shocht-t is an expert
meat inspector under the lows of the
Talmud, and can only practice his art
when he is accredited' by a learned
rabbi as being versed in the law and
learned in his handicraft In one of the
Talmudian schools to be found in small
numbers in the east cl Germany and in
Pol ana.
"Every one of the nine kosher butch
ers in Chicago employs his own sho
chet. who occupies, as a rule, a position
of importance in the congregation to
" which he belongs, although he has no
priestly functions. He seldom carries
on any other business than that of a
Bhochet, and even, as a rule, considers
It beneath his dignity to assist at the
cutting up of the- animals killed by
him, leaving that business entirely to
the butcher.
- "He receives for his services gener
ally a fixed salary of from $40 to $60 a
month, but has a private income by
occasionally practicing his art for pri
vate families and butchers who do not
deal exclusively In kosher goods.
-'."It is his duty to kill and examine
CONFESSIONS OF A HOUSEMAID
Social Life of San Francisco as Seen by an InteUigent, Educated^
Woman Who Served for Years in Many of "Our Best Families'!
didn't know how to get anything out
of her servants. I got along with her
well enough, but I finally had to leave
her — I disliked her so. If she had mar
ried a poor man — her father's hearse
driver or some one like that — and done
her own washing and taken care of
half a dozen children, she might have
been all right, but she had married so
far above herself that she never found
out where she was. Her idea seemed
to» be that in order to be a lady she
must never do a thing for herself or for
anybody else. Her people had all been
plain, hard working men and women,
but when she found herself so pros
perous that she could have flowers on
the table and ice on the butter without
getting them out of pa's shop she was
unable to stand the change.
I had not worked for her more than
a few months when Mr. XX — got
into some business difficulty and was
crowded pretty close to the wall. My
rule has always been to give notice just
as soon as I see a family begin to save
the gas and cut down the butcher's
bill, because when a man breaks up it
is usually the servants "who have the
hardest time to collect their back pay.
But I just couldn't have added one more
straw to that poor man's load if it had
meant a whole year's wages, and ho
was the one who had to engage the
servants — she could never be bothered
with it.
When business got so bad that bank
ruptcy was staring him in the face,
crowded by his creditors and over
worked, Mr. XX — used to come home
looking worried to death. At these
times Mrs. XX used to harass him
because he had not made a separate
and definite provision for her in case
he lost his money. She would begin
as soon as he got into the house to
nag r.nd whine because she might not
be left comfortably fixed if he should
die. I've seen this thing drag out all
through dinner, and when she knew
she had got him nearly crazed she
would try to pacify him by being kit
tenish — jumping on his lap and trying
to make him go out with her some
where to divert his mind. When things
were at their worst she took it into
her head to give a reception for fear
every animal intended to furnish food
for orthodox Jewish stomachs. All of
the members of the fishy trib*, pro
vided they are scaly,- may be eaten by
the Jews without the intervention ,of
the shochet. but this privilege does not
extend to either salt or dried fish as
found In the stores, because there is
ground for suspicion that in the process
of preparing them •unkosher', matter
may have been used.
"The butcher has to buy all of his
stock alive, and is generally accom
panied by the shochet when ho goes to
market, because the latter is ready to
detect in the living animal already the
defects which mark it as 'treife.' After
the bullock has been .selected and
bought it is , killed In the slaughter
house in a very peculiar manner. In
the first place the animal must be per
fectly quiet and well rested at . the
time of killing. - While in the slaughter
pen It has a rope fastened to its horns
and others to Its legs in a very cautious
manner so as not to disturb it. It is
then gently pulled out and coaxed to
lie down peacefully by an ingenious
pulling of the ropes fastened to its
legs.
"No one is allowed to touch the
doomed animal but the shochet, who, as
soon as" fhc animal is lying down qui
etly.-will take hold of it 3 head and cut
Its throat with a sharp knife, theblade
of which, about 20 inches long and 2
inches wide, is highly polished and kept
as scrupulously clean as a gentleman's
razor. The' cut almost severs the head
from the body, and "the animal is ; then
allowed to bleed to death. • As soon -as
the carcass has ceased bleeding it is

her friends would believe the reports,
and it would just kill her to have them
think she was poor. Then when he
said It was out of the question to spend
one extra cent, and that by rights they
ought to sell the house and go down
in the country to live, she got wild.
She blubbered and cried and carried
on like a mad woman, and poor, big
hearted unsuspecting John never
seemed to guess she was only acting,
and very poorly at that, in order- to ;
get what she wanted. .
Although she was smart enough not
to have any of the servants around
when she did the tragedy queen act,
she was not quite keen enough to fool
me. I knew the signs, and when I
saw she was out on the war path I
left the doors open. Pretending she
was going crazy from her brutal hus
band's ill treatment, she would stiffen
her body and scream — a scream like a
pig squeal. At about the third squeal
Mr. XX — would jump up and throw
his arms around her, saying all sorts
of foolish things and promising to do
anything in his power, until she calmed
down.
After a while 1 thought he seemed
to be losing interest in her tantrums,
and she seemed to feel that she was
losing her grip. While she was stupid
in most things, she was smart enough
to keep a leverage on poor John's
feelings.
One day I was busy up stairs in the
linen closet. Seeing something was go
ing to happen I thought I might as well
be on hand, so I took hold of the linen
closet, as it was right opposite Mrs.
XX— 's sitting room. Poor Mr. XX —
had come home that evening worried
and discouraged to death, so his wife
had taken that occasion to propose a
trip to Santa Barbara. On top of all
his troubles this was too much. He
was always a man of few words, but
this time he said a good deal. She
tried her flying all to pieces ruse, but
for once it didn't work. Then she tried
to faint. Mr. XX — called me in, but all
I did was to wet her face until I had
washed all the powder and paint off.
Shrieking that she would kill herself,
she rushed across to her room, locked
the door and turned on the gas. If
ahe had been left alone she would
have turned it off in just about a min
ute, but poor Mr. XX — was scared half
to death and called and pleaded and
finally broke the door in to get to her.
The suicide idea was her master
stroke, and after that she had it all
her own way. \u25a0. She could work him to
a finish any time. And she did it, too.
She could get anything under _ heaven
by simply turning on the gas. I used
to look at this fine Christian gentleman
and wonder what crime he had ever
committed that he had to be repaid by
having Delia for his wife. Whatever
he thought about It he kept to him
self. He had a way of closing up
tighter and tighter when things got
bad, and the worse he felt the less he
said.
She was not smart enough, however,
to save her trumps for high tricks.
She finally wore out her suicide act, as
ehe had overworked the tragedy queen
act — then there was nothing left, unless
she did the real thing, which was the
farthest from her thoughts.
I was glad, Just downright glad in
my heart, when I saw Mr. XX at
last getting his eyes open. As business
went from bad to worse she became
more cantankerous, wanting everything
she saw anybody else have and to go ,
every place she hoard of anybody else
going and never satisfied.
"It will be a cold day for you, my
lady," I used to say behind her back
and chuckle to myself at the prospect
of the licking fate was laying up for
her, and about every week I made up
my mind to give notice, I was that dis
gusted with the whole thing, but so
anxious wiis I to see her get her deserts
that I'd decide to stay a while longer.
When Mr. XX— finally got his eyes
open It did not take him long to see
right through her — all her little mean
nesses, her spitefulness, her deception,
her selfishness, Insincerity, overy
thlng that made her the very opposite
of himself and of the woman he de
served to have for his wife. Things
went on this way several months, un

a very close: examination of the en
trails. The lunga are the special ob
ject of his study, and the slightest spot
upon them or abnormal condition of
any pui t of them will insure the rejec
tion of the entire animal as 'treife.'
"In case of doubt the lungs are sub
jected to a bath in clean water, and
only if it is possible to give them a
perfectly healthy appearance by a sim
ple washing will the animal be pro
nounced kosher. But even if the lungs
are healthy, if there be present foreign
bodies in any portion -of the carcass
which might have caused the death of
the animal sooner or later, the carcass
is rejected, for It is. the law that the
animal must be in' a perfectly healthy

Would ha leave her aita get a divorce?
I wondered, seeing that hie scarcely
noticed hor from day to day?
And then came the announcement to
their intimates that Mr. and Mrs.
XX—^— r were to be blessed with an
heir.
About this time rheumatism attacked
me and I was forced to take a long
vacation.
A year later I got a nice little note
from Mr. XX saying if I would
come back and stay a little while until
they could get some one it would help
him out wonderfully. I had about
recovered and was, In need of a place
just, then, so I thought I might as well
go on his account and to see -what kind
of a life his wife was making for him
now.
Mrs. XX— — was on her knees pick
ing up cracker crumbs when I went up
to her room.
"Just a minute, Norah," she said,
Vuntil I've brushed up the floor.*? And
ehe grabbed a carpet sweeper and took
up some crumbs.
"Baby is such a busy little man," she
continued, "he leaves his trail behind
him."
I stood gaping at her in astonish
ment, and forgot to say a word. .Delia
XX doing something for somebody
was enough to take anybody's breath
away.
"And if you'll stay with us, Norah,"
she went on, "you'll find your work
lighter-than it was before. We live
very quietly now. We don't entertain
at all. Noises seem to disturb the
baby."
"Yes, ma'am," I said to her, watch
ing her pick up some fine white sew
ing as she talked. "Yes, ma'am, I guess
I'll stay."
same way as cattle, only that calves
and lambs must not be under eight
days old at the time of the killing.
Nor are the hind quarters of calves and
lambs rejected unless the animal has ,
passed its youthful days before it comes
into the hands of the shochet.
"Chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks and
pigeons are killed by the shochet by
simple decapitation with his keen edged .
knife, but in all cases the greatest'
care is taken to cut down the animal
in the moment of complete, rest and
blissful ignorance of the coming fate,'
so as to. make its death as sudden and
speedy as possible. : The greatest care
is also used in freeing the meat of. all
killed animals' of ; every particle ;of
blood and other substances declared
\u25a0;treife'.;.by the Jewish law. .;\u25a0 ; .

'•The advantages," continued the ad
miral, "are. that the" intervention of the

The cook was new and the nurse,
too, of course, and they both spoke of
Mrs. XX-— — in respectful terms, and
neither of them called her Delia. Mr.
XX came home that afternoon ear
lier than I had ever known. him to in
the old days and slipped quietly up to
the nursery. Not so quietly, however,
that Mrs. XX did not hear him and
slip in, too. "He has been so cunning
all day," I heard her say, "but he won't
have anything to do with Mary, so I
have had the care of him ever since he
had his bath."
I did not sco this wonderful baby un
til the next day, but when I did I blew
him a kiss with my blessing on it.
lie was in his mother's room — he
wouldn't have anything to do with his
nurse and had selected his mother for
his faithful slave. Mrs. XX was
saying "No, baby. No, no, baby mustn't.
Oh! oh! oh!" as I passed the door. The
baby meanwhile, with his fists full of
his mother's front hair, "was playing
"horsie" and trying to. make her" "get
up." The more she tried> to make him
let go the harder he pulled, until finally
poor mamma got up. The smile of
pride as she caught my eye was dimmed
by tears of actual pain at the tugging of
her son, but she bore it like a soldier.
"Yes, ma'am," I said when she asked
me if I didn't think him a fine little
fellow; "yes, ma'am, and very smart!"
Somebody whistled through the hall
the next day and I looked out to see if
the plumber had come. But It was Mr.
XX whistling "Bonnie Doon."
Knowing the state of his business, I
was not surprised that they had cut
down their expenses, but I was sur
prised when Mrs. XX said to me a
few days later, "We are going down
to the country this summer, Norah: we

have chickens and a cow,"' Mrs. XX
announced, "so .we can always be sure
of pure milk and fr sh eggs for baby."
And for the same reason she planted
vegetables and flowers and got a pair
of white rabbits, a pony, a canary
bird, a cat and a poodle. "Baby must
grow up with a love for animals," she
explained, and "baby must have beau
tiful baby memories," she said when
she planted flowers and trees. It was
not easy -to get a man to work by the
day and they could not afford to keep
a regular gardener, so It was Mrs.
XX who got a pair of calfskin
boots and cut the lawn and spaded thy
rosebushes and fed the chickens and
in an emergency, even milked the cow.
in order that baby might always have
the best conditions and surroundings.
"When the cook got sick and left on a
minute's notice and there was no hotel
to go to and no chance of getting
another cook for two days at least.
Mrs. XX took off her gardening
gloves and got out her cookbook.
"Xo, ma'afra." I lied to her when she
almost went down on her knees and
begged me to remember whatever I
may once have known about cooking.
"No. ma'am, I don't know anything
about it. I can help you with the baby
and the sewing, but I havo never
cooked." It was too good a chance to
see the undertaker's daughter get back
to first principles. She knew how to
do it, too. having done it too lons in
her youth to have 'forgotten entirely.
The way she pinned up her skirt ami
rolled Up her sleeves showed that she
was raised to It. Baby must have his
food prepared as usual, of course, so
she went to work on soup and por
ridge. "When she had her hands in the
flour a peddler came and Insisted upon
seeing thd lady of the house and I
wouldn't excuse her; when she got ri<l
of him the baby set up a howl ami
wo'uldn't wait a minute for her to come
to him; he got his fists in her hair ami
squalled like a red Indian when she
tried to get away. By that time she
had to attend to the chickens and it
was almost dark before she got back
to the kitchen.
When Mr. XX came home he
found his wife, rosy and fat. bending
over the stove cooking his dinner.
"There is really no need of getting a
cook while Mary is away." she said at
the table, "if you can stand my experi
menting I may learn to cook well
enough to tide over this crisis. You
can always get a good luncheon in
town, you know. "What do you think
about It?"
Before Mr. XX had time to think
anything about it the baby set up an
other howl for his mother. Hlj* fcurse
had long since been dispense^ .with.
He found his mother a willing
slave, ready at his beck and call, whiclt
was more than he had ever been able
to get out of a hired nur^ c - "Never
mind about saving my dini' cr > Norah,"
she called as she flew to the nursery.
"I'm really not hungry an>' w »>' and rll
just have a little bread and milk in
the nursery with baby."
Mr. XX looked after her. She
had lost the hour glass figure she once
prided herself upon and didn't seem to
have noticed the difference, \tler hands
were roughened by gardening, her skin
tanned by sitting out In the sun and
wind all day long with the baby, and
her hair, always the baby's delight. .
was never smooth 10 minutes at a time.
At the door she hesitated an instant
and half turned toward Mr. XX .
The baby had caught the sound of her
flying footsteps and his howl broke off
in a gurgling coo-o-o. A big 1 , happy
mother smile lit up her flushed face as
their eyes met ami the next minute
her heels were heard on the stairs.
Mr. XX finished his dinner and
•went out on the veranda to smoke. I
wondered if he ever thought now of
the scenes In the big house, of the
quarrels, the threats, the lies, the
tragedy queen acts and the fake sui
cides. But whatever may have been
his meditations they were promptly in
