HOTEL VALET A MIDDLEMAN.
He Farms Out the Work and Rarely Dees
Any or II Himself.

Any or II Himself.
Tho house valet has become q regular
feature Of New York hotels. The newest
hotels have had him from the first. while
the older houses have acquired him along
with the palm rooms and electric hghts.
The services OF the hotel valet arc not
confined to keeping clothes In order. In
addition. he does all that the ordinary tailor
would do. He presses and cleans clothes,
repairs them and even makes slight altera-
lions In them.
Sometimes tho guests who employ the
hotel valet pay the landlord for his ser
vices. sometimes the money goes directly
to the valet. In any case, the valet gets
his share OF the profits. aimee he IL really
the middleman between the guest and the
tailor-for It rarely. II ever. happens that
the valet himself looks after the clothes.
In all but two or three Of the largeet
hotels in this oil y, the tailor does not exist
The valet does mono OF the work intrusted
to him. He merely collects the clothes.
learns from their owner what Is wanted
and then hands them over to the tailor.
To him the valet farms out the clothes OF
the guests. He charges the guests on an
average ave 10 per cent. more than the ordinary
prices OF the tailor.
Sometimes the tailor who does this work
ia called the hotel tailor, although It rarely
happens except In the largest hotels that
the work Of the guests Is sufficient to employ
one tailor all the time
When the hotel valet receives his pay
directly from the guests he works entirely
on his own responsibility and sometimes
pays bonus for the post, 80 certain and 80
comfortable are the earnings OF the place.
It occasionally happens that the valet Is
accomplished enough to take out grease
spot and goes to the extent OF rubbing on
IKE benzine himself. As a rule. however
he hands everything over to the tailor who
does an the work for him.
The tailors living in the neighborhood OF
the large hotels have found themselves
practically forced to accept the terms OF
The yalets. as II would be difficult for any
OF them to come into direct contact with
the guests In tho hotel.
For men who travel with their own Wallets
most Of the hotels have valet rooms. In
them there are rooms for polishing hats and
conveniences for pressing clothes and
executing the other duties OF gentleman'l
gentleman.
