Day oftheHaIB Boy

In this day of complaint against incompe-
tent servants of all sorts it is rather remark
able to study the general utility of the apart
menthouse halboy. The resourceful New
York woman finds many uses for the liveried
lad and where he has been tested and found
thoroughly reliable he is often trusted with
responsible duties.
At one of the upper West side apartment
hotels two extremely bright young colored
men have been employed for four years and
the commissions with which they are trusted
are worth studying. One of them was seen at
a neighboring bank the other morning deposit
ing money for three guests at the hotel. Sew
eral other colored boys in uniform were per-
forming similar service The receiving tel
Ter at the bank explained that many of his
women depositors intrusted this work, espe-
cially on stormy days, to hall boys and eleva-
tor boys and that there has not been single
case Of dishonesty or misunderstanding in the
matter.
In some houses elevator and hall boys are
not permitted to run errands, the New York
World says. In others. where two or three
lads are on duty, rules are relaxed and super
1ntendents are glad to let the boys serve the
tenants Naturally the boys like to do the err
rands, because there is corresponding increase
in their incomes
