The ect for the servants is buff-colored, that for members of the famlily white, On these cards will be re- ported daily all matters of concern to the household. Bervants will re- port as to what dutles they have performed during the day, in what manner, et cetera, as well as what things have been left unperformed. In this way we shall soon systema- tize the work and establish a proper schedule of hours.” Constance smiled faintly. There was avision in her mind of Glo- vanni, the furnace man, making out his report, ‘The report cards for the family will contain brief memoranda of what each member has done dur- ing the day, a statement of con- duct, of personal expenses, et cetera, together with any sugges- tions for the improvement of con- ditions or criticlems of the work of employes.” “You mean to say,” asked Con- stance slowly, “that you expect us — me — to make out one of these cards—every day?” “Certainly. You will see the ad- vantage of it later.” Constance relapsed into sllence again. “I have ' here,” he resumed pleasantly, ‘a filing case and card- index system. In it all report cards will be filed, after being properly clasgified. There will be a personal index, as well as a subject index. Al correspondence relating to household 'matters will be filed. ‘There are certain other features of ,the general system of management that I shall put into effect, and which T can best explain as we come to them in actual practice. By the way, how old are you?” Constance stiffened in her chair. Not that she cared — but the ques- tion was offensive, “Why — I — you—" “About twenty?” he suggested, in | studying her eritically. addressing Constance, “tell me how far it 1s to Alice’s 6chool.” “Six or seven “You happen to be correct,” she answered in a frozen tone. To her horror the efficlency man reached a blank card from a small pile. It was neatly ruled in blue, with black printing on it and numerous white spaces. There was a round hole punched at the bot- | tom. H. Hedge picked up a pen, dipped it, and began to write. Al- though the card was upside down to her, she could easily read the legible characters that he set down in one of the spaces. He had writ- ten “C. Brooke.” Then came an- other line: “Age—20." He paused and looked up. “Fver work?"
