_Cleanliness_ is another qualification incumbent on every female servant, and particularly in _Cooks_, and those employed in the department of the kitchen. These should be very careful to keep themselves,—every place,—and all the utensils used in cooking, perfectly clean and neat. We have already remarked, that those who are fond of telling all that they hear, are very naturally suspected of telling more than they hear. The best rule is, to do your own duty conscientiously, and leave others to take care of theirs: by this means you will preserve peace and acquire the love of all your fellow servants, without offending your employers; who, even though they may appear to give countenance to your tale, will not in their hearts approve of your conduct. Take great care how you contract _new Acquaintances_, for to be easily drawn into a familiarity with strangers must be attended with ill consequences to yourselves, and those with whom you live. Never accept the invitations of other servants, nor go to feast at the expense of their masters and mistresses; as you must, in that case, be deemed an interloper, at least;—besides, it lays you under an obligation to return the treat, and induces you, after their example, to make free with the property of your own employers, under a consciousness of guilt, and a continual fear of detection. Give nothing away without the knowledge and approbation of your employers, nor commit wilful waste, for that is a crime which seldom goes unpunished. All duties are reciprocal. If you hope to obtain favour, endeavour to deserve it. A steady perseverance in the duties of your station is the only sure course infallibly to promote your progress to independence. In addition to the foregoing, we should deem ourselves guilty of the sin of omission, were we not to insert the very excellent _moral hints to female servants_, written by the Rev. H. G. Watkins, in furtherance of the views of the LONDON SOCIETY, for the improvement and encouragement of female servants. [_We have great pleasure in mentioning this society, the object of which is, to promote the moral and religious improvement of female servants._ The society bestows _annual rewards_, on those who are _duly nominated_, to encourage them to view their employers as their friends, to be correct and trust-worthy in their conduct, and to continue as long as possible in the same service. To prevent, also, the hazard to good servants of resorting to _common_ Register Offices, a Registry is instituted, to which—cooks, house-maids, and nurses, wanting situations, who have lived two years in one service—servants of all work who have lived one year in their last place—and young women _above sixteen_, who have never been in service—may apply, without any expense whatever.
