SHE'S A BUSY WOMAN
MEANING THE HOUSEKEEPER OF A
BIG MODERN HOTEL.

Not . Figurehead Like the Clerk, but
the Executive Head of q Most Impor-
tant Department-The Duties, Her Pay
and Her Worries.
!, There is no single member of the
managers staff who contributes more
to the success of great modern hotel
than the woman who acts the part Of
"housekeeper. In the eyes Of the un
thinking transient guest the day clerk
and yet more the night clerk may seem
Of far greater Importance, but in reality
these functionaries are in a sense only
hgureheads. whose chief value lies in
their power to make themselves person
ally agreeable to the hotels patrons
But the housekeeper is one of the three
or four executive heads who really run
the hotel The responsibility of max
ing the guests comfortable and content
ed rests as heavily upon her shoulders
Nas it does upon the steward or the chef
The duties of the housekeeper are
pretty accurately described by her title
She keeps the house in order. In some
of the smaller hotels she supervises
what is known as the back of the
house from kitchen to garrett, but the
les are so vast that the task of looking
after the details of the whole would be
beyond the power of any one person.
This will the more readily be under
stood when it is remembered that the
employees OF sucff- Hotel number sew
eral hundred and that the administra-
tive machinery of the house is as elab-
crate as the most extensive mercantile
establishment.
The housekeeper of one of the largest
and best known hotels in America has
direct ch;i.~,o over her chambermaids,
the hall girls. the scrub women and the
laundresses, several score in number all
told. Besides the women a good sized
group of men are directly responsible
u her. They are employed to clean win
dows take up and beat carpets, take
down beds and move furniture and do
the heavy work around the bedrooms.
They are known as the house men. They
are selected by the manager and then
handed over to the housekeeper for her
approval If she likes them, they are
engaged. but not otherwise. and if they
fail to do their work properly q word
. from her will insure their dismissal
The housekeeper has no jurisdiction
over the girls employed in the kitchen
and dining rooms. They are hired and
discharged by the manager and are un-
der the supervision Of the proper depart
ment heads.
All the women in her department are
hired and discharged by the housekeep-
er. No one else has any control over
them whatever. She looks into the ref

Sharing the general anxiety for some

bic that the report would be made, and
late last night the following reply was
received:

Admiral Sicard's message is regarded

depend the finding. the examination Of
the officers and crew os the ship hav-
ing been insufficient to enable the
court to even form an idea as TO what
lines may be opened up from the in.
vestigation of the wreck itself.
While the telegram was somewhat
of "A disappointment in leaving the
