SERVANTS OF A lv

Supplie«! l»y Condition» in
Apurtinrnt Hotel«.
The apartment hotel has been re
sponsible for many rhanges in social
conditions, and one of these is the
growth of an entirely new class of
servants, says the New York Sun.
.Most of these hotels have suites too
small to accommodate a maid if more
than one person occupies them. The
cost of keeping a maid under these
circumstances^is increased by the fact
that a fixed sum is charged every
week for her meals.
In a hotel, for instance, where the
maximum rate is $12 a week fornicáis,
the maids are likely to cost six or
eight dollars. Combined with the cost
of lodgings this price practically puts
a female servant beyond the means
of all but the wealthy, as the wages
are $20 a month, more or less, to be
gin with.
So the new kind of maid comes either
ny the day or at the times during the
week that she Is most required. If
she is not needed regularly, as hap
pens often, she may come two or three
times a week or only on ‘he reception
day of the tenant of the apartment.
The increase in the number <;f apart
ment hotels has led to a great demand
tor women of this kind. One woman
who foresaw the business to be had
from this class of service has opened
nn agency and sends out women for
this irregular work. They arc as a
rule women who prefer to live nt home
and are anxious to earn something to
increase the family income.
They
make money easily in this way. for
their pay is out of all proportion to
that made by the ordinary woman in
domestic service.
They rarely lose a full day’s em
ployment if they want it, and their
charges are never less than $1.50a day,
even for the simplest kind of work,
and their hours are not more than
from nine to five. If they come earlier
than nine they leave earlier in the aft
ernoon.
Some of them refuse to sew unless
rhe pay is increased, and they some
times receive for attendance at nr. aft
ernoon tea as much as two dollars for
Gidy a few hours’ work.

two and one-half miles long, which is
the home of a new kind of mouse.
I hese little sand-colored creatures are

beauty of the jewel that the recip
