It will also point out, to those who are economically disposed, in what departments _saving_ may best be effected, as an addition to the fund of reserve, for the augmentation of the fortunes of Children, or for unforeseen Contingencies. Smaller Incomes must be appropriated in a different manner; and according to the number of Children in the family: thus the Expense of a family with Children will be from 1-4th to 1-3rd for each of the Principals, and about 1-10th or 1-12th for each Child. As Hints to the _Formation_ of a Household, or the _Reformation_ of an Establishment, we insert the following list of the number and description of Servants that are usually employed, according to Income; viz.— Income per Annum. £100 or guineas. _A Widow_ or other _unmarried Lady_, may keep a _Young Maid Servant_, at a low salary; say from 5 to 10 Guineas a year. £150 to £180. _A Gentleman and Lady without Children_, may afford to keep a better _Servant-Maid_, at about 10 or 12 Guineas. About £200. _Ditto. A professed Servant-Maid of All-Work_, at from 12 to 14 Guineas. £300. _Ditto, with one, two, or three Children._ Two Maid-Servants. £400. _Ditto, Ditto._ Three female Servants, or two and a Boy; viz.—A Cook, House-Maid, and Nursery-Maid, or else, instead of the latter, a Boy,—with a Gardener occasionally.
