Skivvy, G. C. O.
Lieutenant Colonel Hilder, M. P., suggested a new order--Gold Cross Order--for domestic servants. Thus Liza Ann, Cook, G.C.O., will indicate that Liza is the last word in the culinary art.
Colonel Hilder's scheme is taken seriously by a large number of people interested in solving the domestic servant problem. Said Colonel Hilder : " We can't force the servant girl back into domestic service, but we can win her back. We must make her understand that her work is honorable. . . . Why not recruit an Order for domestic service on lines similar to the Red Cross? Call it the Gold Cross Order, and insist on a standard of efficiency and good conduct for membership. Have a recognized diploma and badge and invite women of good position to take the lead by joining."
