SUMMARY

Even if a wife brings into the marriage two or three maidservants, she must do some Melachah, because the maidservants do not cover all of the work that must be done for the guests. (2)
Even if a wife brings in four maidservants, she must pour her husband's cup, make his bed, and wash his hands and feet.
A Nidah may do all Melachos for her husband with the exception of pouring his cup, making his bed, and washing his hands and feet. (3)

BRIEF INSIGHT
NURSING OVER THE OBJECTION OF THE HUSBAND
If a woman wants to nurse she may do so, even if the husband objects. Rashi explains that her reason for wanting to nurse is that the milk buildup is painful for her. However, the Rambam says that the reason is that it is difficult for her to be separated from her child. The Hafla'ah says that if the child dies and she wants to nurse a different woman's child in order to alleviate the painful milk buildup, according to Rashi she has the right to do so, according to the Rambam she may not do so.
Rav Ashi took some food with his finger from the food that was to be served for the king in order to feed Mar Zutra who had paled at the sight of the food. The Rabanan asked Rav Ashi why he relied on a miracle, and Rav Ashi responded that he saw that Mar Zutra had become afflicted with Tzara'as. The Maharsha explains that the Rabanan felt that Rav Ashi placed himself in greater danger by taking from the king's food than the danger Mar Zutra faced from his illness. Rav Ashi responded that Mar Zutra was afflicted with Tzara'as, and thus the danger he faced posed a greater risk. The Chasam Sofer learns from this story that a person must be ready to put himself in danger for the purpose of saving his friend from a greater danger. However, he concludes that Rav Ashi was at risk only to have the king cut off his finger with a salve, which is not a danger to his life. However, to have a finger cut off without a salve is a danger to life, and in such a case Rav Ashi would not have been permitted to subject himself to such a risk in order to save Mar Zutra.
QUICK HALACHAH
FEEDING THE WAITER
Any food brought in front of a person that has a smell and is desirable must be given immediately to the waiter. It is a Midas Chasidus to give him immediately from all types of food. (Shulchan Aruch OC 169:1)
Anything that has a nice smell is potentially damaging to a person's health when other people are eating it in front of him and he is giving none to taste. (Mishnah Berurah)
