Keeping House in New York.

1t is an old saying that all is not gold
that glitters, and the history of the New
York Fifth avenue, will prove that the
golden hue OF luxury is generally little
more than a deceptive show. If Won
live in this fashionable spot you must
pay either $500 for home (perhaps
Sloo, ,o0o), or you must give al equiva-
lent rent. Think of $1,000 rent to begin
with. You cannot furnish this house at
less expense than 10000 and if pictures
and statuary be introduced, you may
treble that figure. To this is to be added
your carriage and span of matched hors-
es, worth 50, 900 at least Then look over
your payroll of servants Here is the
coachman, who, with his family, lives in
II finished room over your stable. He
must have $500 per year, and will have
it, even if he is obliged to rob the oat
bin in order to meet deficiency. Next
is the footman who on public drives is
perched on the rear of the carriage and
wears the same uniform as the driver

keeper caps the list, for fashionable
lady would as soon take care of her
children or do any other unbecoming
work as to attend to housekeeping du-
ties, and no housekeeper can be got for
less than $50 per month. l have only
put down half dozen servants, which is
a moderate number but when we con
slider that each of these may be thief, it
is as many as you really need, and if you
can meet the expenses and peculation
which your establishment involves, you
must have an income of S25, 600 at least
