Washington life IN any form is costly.
1t was not so In the old times. or even az
late as the seventies. but ut last the rich
and fashionable visitors have done their
perfect work In this city, as In Paris and
In Newport One way to live in Wash
ington. of course. Is TO go to a hotel. and
this way Is not 80 very much c0stlicr than
others. after oil. Another way is to buy
or rent a house outright. But by far the
larger part of the visiting contingent seek
a suite OF rooms. eisher furnished or un-
furnished. rs the case may be. with
board. A suite of two or three rooms in
any desirable location will cost a man and
wife all the way from $50 TO $3.50 a
month Very stylish apartments will run
still higher. Board ranges from $50 TO
$50 or more a month for each individual.
There is one other way of living pecul-
lar TO Washington, which is extensively
used. but which cannot be conscientiously
recommended. This Is TO take n suite
without board and have meals brought to
ones room by a carterer. There are
many of these carterers here. and they do
their work as well as is possible In the
nature OF the case They charge only
about $25 a month apiece and furnish an
abundance OF good food as expeditiously
as they eau. But the Inconvenience aud
drawbacks of the plan are obvious. The
food has to be cooked Mt the carterer s
headquarters and carried in trans to his
patrons homes. Then the table has to be
set and the viands extracted from the
vehicle and placed upon the dishes. BY
this time all the cooked articles have be-
come cold and must be heated again over
the fire or an alcohol lamp All the
courses are brought in at once, aud while
one is being eaten the next is cooling and
becoming spoiled. In fact. the whole
meal Is spoiled before it reaches the
house
