The Maligned Hotel Clerk.

From Seaside Letter.
Lam overwhelmed with admiration
at the accomplishments and patience
of the average hotel clerk. l shall
never laugh again at any jokes about
HIM, for, to me, he seems to have got
ten nearer civilization as far as good
manners are concerned than almost
any other man. When the men are
away during the week the average
woman hangs over the desk in the Of
fee and wonders and questions, and
gives and requires information,
until it seems strange the much.
worried fellow does not touch the
bell, call 'front" and issue O COM
mand that all the women in the house
be locked up. The morning begins
with request forletters. Each wom-
an not getting one looks at her more
fortunate sister and then at the clerk,
as If it were entirely his fault. and her
eyes seemed to accuse him of partial
ity Then she leaves her key with him
and goes to breakfast. After break
fast she comes into the Office again to
know il there is any more mail, and
unless the clerk had written her a let
ter himself it would be impossible for
the United States post Office authori-
ties, with all their facilities, to have
collected and distributed another bag
of letters and papers. Then, in
an audible tone she thinks
.lA ,tstn -
Smith about the house; then the per-
secuted man Is asked for time table;
then, that she may be rung up at sew
en- O'Clock in a couple of days; then
she looks at the arrivals again and
feels aggrieved because as yet she can
get no information about who they
are, whether their yacht is their own
or hired, whether they intend to stay
the season, or If there are any young
men among them. Seeing the man
looks faint, she may retire for little
while; but reaching the door of her
room, she finds she hash t got her key.
A hall boy is dispatched for that; he
had just gotten well out of sight
when she concludes to ring for ice wat
ter, and with few variations this per
Torrance is kept up all day, and very
often far into the evening. Com
plants about dogs, about babies,
about goats, about their place in the
dining room, and even about the time
that the orchestra plays waltz are
confided to the clerk And yet he
smiles, has pleasant word for chill
dren, thinks to send special paper to
some old lady, is considerable about
the comfort of an invalid, in short,
causes oneto wonder what school ever
produced such miracle of patience.
| shall never say an ugly thing about
the clerk in summer hotel, for they
not only have to be all things to all
women, but they have to submit to
the greatest amount of badgering
that human nature can conceive.
