I found this a very good (and often hilarious) read:

The servant grievance? The employers seem to be a bit of a grievance themselves.

Interesting read! I had been wondering how to refresh my black silks!

I have a bound copy of Cassell's Magazine for the year 1887. Most entertaining. Loads of copies for various years available from the booksellers. Recommended
