SCHEDULE NO. VII

There are many families who may object to all the preceding schedules
on account of the early hour in the evening for household employees
to be off duty. When the housewife has never had her housework done on
schedule time by an efficient employee, she may well think it impossible
to have the dinner dishes washed up and everything put away in order by
8 P.M. However some families do not begin dinner before half past seven,
or eight o'clock, or even later, but in these families, it is not
unusual for the breakfast hour to be very late also. In consequence
nothing is easier than to make a schedule for the day's work begin late
and end late, without making any other alteration in it.

The following schedule, however, combines an early breakfast and a late
dinner, in a family where only two employees were kept:

_First Employee_

From 7 A.M. to 12 M. 5 hours
From 5 P.M. to 8 P.M. 3 hours
-------
8 hours

_Second Employee_

From 12 M. to 5 P.M. 5 hours
From 7 P.M. to 10 P.M. 3 hours
(or from 8 to 11 P.M.)
