Getting ready to teach a dining etiquette class tonight and I pulled out my vintage books for fun. I sometimes like to open a random page of an older edition and discuss how different or alike things are. The one I opened to today is from The Correct Thing in Good Society, 1902
"It is incorrect to entice a servant, by promise of extra wages or other advantage, away from a service where she is satisfied and willing to stay. It is both unladylike and dishonorable to do so."
None of us really has this particular problem but every page I open always leads to a really fun discussion even if is it a pretend one about "how not to poach one another's servants"
