Fritzie Brunette

From the column “For the Film Fans,” October 10, 1920:

Fritzie Brunette has solved the servant problem. A friend asked her how she managed to keep the same maid year in and year out.

“Well,” said Fritzie Brunette, “the average housekeeper fails to treat her help with proper tact. Women call their maids ‘kitchen mechanics,’ ‘pot wranglers,’ ‘Mary Janes’ and ‘pan heavers.’ ”

“What do you call your maid?” asked the friend.

“My domestic secretary,” replied Fritzie.
