The grandest thing about life in the |
City of Mexico, from this distance, to /
the average Topeka housekeeper who |
does her own work or has at the most
one maid. is the fact that everybody
down there lives in magnificent style
with a number of servants. Miss Hazel
Grimes, on the day of the arrival of the
Grimes party in the Mexican capital,
says that they have taken over the three
servants, cook laundress and house
maid, of the former lessees of the house
which they are to occupy for the sum-
mer at Gale Roma 1915. But it de-
velops that such grandeur carries its
guard not to do anything to shock
their menials. Miss Grimes says that
they have been warned mot to lift
their hands or the servants will think
them contemplate and not worthy OF
respect OF consideration She adds in
II don't know how mamma
will stand it," The party arrived in
June IA and found the house which
Mr.. Grimes had engaged ready for oc-
cupancy and equipped with servants.
1t is a large house completely furnish
ed. There is a roof garden and a
place full of flowers in the middle; 1
think you call it a court" Mrs. Grimes,
