home is place in which the joint life of

around which the interests and activities of
woman's life are grouped. But woman who
lives in an apartment hotel has nothing to do.
She resigns in favor of the manager. Her per-
sonal preferences and standards are completely
swallowed up in the general public standards of
the institution. She cannot have food cooked as
she likes, she has no control over her servants,
she cannot train her children to live in her par
tcular way: she cannot create that atmosphere
of manners ana things around her own person.

life would be very much mutilated because she
could not entertain to any purpose or with much
pleasure in two rooms and bath OF course:
for birds of passage in a large city. for social
and business Bohemians, or for the country resi-
dents. all this makes no difference: but the
adoption of apartment hotel life by any consid-
cradle section of the but permanent population of
New York could not be regarded with grave
misgvings by all observers of American morals
and manners. Foreign critics have frequently
noticed and deplored the tendency which Ameri-
can women have shown to consider the care OF
