Hotel Life For women.

New York Cor. Buffalo Courier.l
Speaking of the Conhling affair, a gen.
tleman who has boarded for several years
at one Of the leading Broadway hotels said
last night that the general public has no
idea OF the kind OF life that is led by fash
ionable women who board at hotels. and
have nothing to do but TO kill time. "Any
hotel barkeeper can tell you" he said,
that the orders for wine from rooms occu-
pied by these women are enormous. They
are generally sent in the daytime, when
husbands are attending 10 business down
town. and the wine is always paid for at
once. Who pays for it? Well, the visitors,
generally. What visitors Oh, you don't
understand These idle women have a
great many visitors, mostly men about
town, club men and others, with money to
spend and nothing to do. They call when
the husbands are away and make them.
selves quite a. home. The women usually
receive them in the parlor, and It is after.
wards an easy matter TO invite them to
their rooms. Orders for wine and other
refreshments are then sent down, and there
is a hIsh-toned csrouse for a couple o!
hours. OF course the visitors are careful
TO be cut Of the way " heu the husband
get home TO dinner, and the women ar
equally careful to leave no trace of tn,
pleasant dissipation remaining, though, i
| they have been too free with the wine
| they don't always succeed 10 hiding that.
