case it is the housekeeper who must
quell the battle No one else will have
anything to do with her employees.
1t is the housekeeper, too, who must
look after the morals and the personal
appearance of the girls. She must see
that they are safely tucked away in bed
at certain hour each night. No girl
may stay out late at night without a
pass from the housekeeper. Even with
such a pass girl will not be admitted
to the hotel later than midnight. Girls
have been known through a collision
with a bell boy to slip in late at night
without being seen by the housekeeper,
but if the latter is a woman who knows
her business she will checkmate this
move and discharge the girl. Very like

walking papers at the same time.

with board and really handsome apart

The kind that messy banks pay out when

No protests, promissories.
