If the range fire is made new every day, place kindlings, coal, and paper in a convenient place ready for use before going to bed, to avoid delay in the morning, and before leaving the kitchen see that all windows, doors, and gates in your department are securely locked. _Miscellaneous notes for cook—Making the range fire if it is never allowed to go out_ About half an hour before leaving the kitchen for the night, put coal on, open the drafts, and, when the fire is hot, fill up well with coal, then check the drafts and leave them checked so that the fire will smoulder all night. In the morning, open the drafts, shake down the grate, put on a little kindling and fresh coal, and the fire will burn brightly in a short time. _Making the range fire if started fresh every morning_ Shake the ashes out thoroughly, picking out pieces of coal only partly burned to be used again and putting ashes in ash can to be taken away. Put loose rolls of paper in, then kindlings laid crosswise and far enough apart for a draft of air to go through freely, then light the papers, turning the dampers to make a draft. When the kindlings are burning well, put the coal on in small quantities at first, adding more when this is well started. Before starting the first fire after the house has been closed, burn newspapers in the range to warm the chimney and thus prevent its smoking by starting an upward draft. Sunday arrangements, also afternoons and evenings out in detail, should come here. SUGGESTION FOR ARRANGEMENT OF SERVANTS’ SUNDAYS _First Sunday—Morning_ Cook is in, gets lunch and prepares as much of the dinner as she can. Waitress is out from 10 A.M. till time to wash lunch dishes. Chambermaid is in and in addition to her own work does any of the waitress’s work that is left unfinished after 10 A.M. and serves lunch. _Afternoon_ Cook is out, after she has washed up lunch things, till 11 P.M. Waitress is in, prepares and serves dinner. Chambermaid is out, after she has served lunch, till 11 P.M. _Second Sunday—Morning_ Cook is out, after washing up breakfast things, till time to cook lunch. Waitress is in, and in addition to her own work, does any chamberwork left unfinished after 10 A.M. Chambermaid is out after 10 A.M. till her lunch time. _Afternoon_ Cook is in. Cooks dinner.
