SERVANTS INDEPENDENT.
Japanese Domestics Have Their Pe
culiarities and Insist Upon
Having Privileges.
The domestic servant in Japan
litlcrs from people of her station
of life in any other part of the
world. She has her peculiarities
as well as her privileges, and she
exercises both whenever it suits
her whim.
Such a thing as “giving notice”
is unknown among servants of
Japan, etiquette prescribingan al
together di tie re nt course, by which
ill smlden shock to the mistress'
feelings is spared. When the do
mestic wishes to make a “change”
she merely requests a few days'
| leave of absence for a home visit,
uid as such holidays are often
given no suspicion is aroused
thereby in the bosom of the confid
ing employer.
However, at the end of tin* ap
pointed time Miss Lotus fails to
■ return, a letter or messenger ar
riving in her place as the bearer
of some excellent excuse, couched
in the humblest language. These
excuses do not seem to differ much
from those which the western mis
tress is but too accustomed to re
ceive. It may be that the default
er has been taken suddenly and
seriously ill, or else mayhap sin*
finds herself not strong enough to
bear the continued strain of serv
ice. Or. again, some near and dear
relative is ill, requiring her atten
tion. But whatever the plea ad
vaneed, the mistress quite under
stands the real nature of the case
and a fresh servant is immediate
ly looked for.
Weeks after the old domestic
perhaps suddenly reapjiears,quite
unabashed and full of profuse
thanks for the many kindnesses
received in t he past, etc. St ill pro
fessing regret at the parting, she
collects all arrears of wages due
and her baggage, the polite fiction
being maintained to the very end.
Even when the domestic has
been engaged only “on trial" and
finds the place unsuitable she will
never say so boldly. Her method
will be to go away for the purpose
of fetching her luggage, the wait
ing mistress being later confront
ed with the politest possible re
fusal at the hands of a third j>er
son. A similar manner of dealing
with a distasteful servant is fob
lowed by the mistress, who is nev
er so unmindful as to declare any
applicant “unsuitable” for the
I place.
Instead, she will smile very
sweetly on the candidate, who is
forthwith dispatched home to
gather her belongings and to say
farewell to her family. Just us
she is on the point of starting for
her new destination, however, a
messenger arrives to announce an
alteration in the lady’s plans and
her regret at an inability to re
ceive Miss Lotus, who bears the
decision with the calm placidity
characteristic of her race.
