Curly Brunette Girl Undresses A House Maid Costume On The Bed With Yellow Pillows

• House Maid — a generic term for maids whose function was chiefly 'above stairs', and were therefore usually a little older, and better paid; where a household included multiple House Maids they were often sub-divided:
- Head House Maid — the senior house maid, reporting directly to the Housekeeper. (Also called House Parlour Maid in an establishment with only one or two upstairs maids).
- Parlour Maid — the parlour maids cleaned and tidied reception rooms and living areas by morning, and often served refreshments at afternoon tea, and sometimes also dinner. They tidied studies and libraries, and (with footmen) answered bells calling for service.
- Chamber Maid — the chamber maids cleaned and maintained the bedrooms, ensured fires were lit in fire places, and supplied hot water.
