Or was that worth while-vould 1t not

thrown away as worthless?
Tho cryptic scrawl on the back inclined
her to the latter conclusion. She could

Down in the basement there are equally
wonderful inventions for facilitating the
work Of the day. Gas and electric grills

where several thousand articles Of linen
are washed and ironed each day. A good
deal of this work Is performed by ma

watched and directed with scrupulous
care.
The modern boniface has devised plan
Of management by which each floor is
looked upon as a hotel by itself. All the
food Is cooked in the big kitchen below.
but on each floor there are electric heat
ers to keep 1t warm, walters and servants
to look out for the service. special linen
and china closet. q telephone exchange.
and all the other equipments Of a hotel
There Ia an assistant manager for each
separate floor hotel, who superintends
the walters and servants. and reports
daily to the manager. This corps Of as
sistant managers consists OF a. many
men as there arc floors in the hotel
Once a week there e q general meeting
OF all the assistants. and the general
manager issues his orders or lectures
them on the success or failure of their
work. The walters and servants are also
assembled at specified times to listen to
the advice or criticism Of the floor man
ayers. Special stress is laid on the serv-
Ing and attention to guests, and II 4 new
nand nnds that he has been neglecting
any point he has q chance to improve.
The organization Of the kitchen and
dining room Is an outgrowth Of expert
ence. Tho heads Of these departments
have agents going the rounds Of other
hotels to see what rival establishments
are doing. A new idea started in one
hotel makes its appearance in all the
others within a short time
Each hotel has its special purveyor.
This man keeps constant watch on the
markets. and while he likes to find bar
gains In food. his first consideration is
quality. He is willing to pay top prices
but he demands in return the best in
fruits. vegetables. meats. flowers and
pastry.
The proprietor must finally keen q
careful watch on the relative proper
tions OF income and expenses. Above
all he must earn his salary, and to do
this he must show dividends on the in
vestment Between catering to the
whims Of his patrons and the demands

dollar hotels Of freproof construction: he
satisfies his longing for entertainment
with picture galleries. thousand-dollar
tapestries and expensive orchestras, and
to his appetite he addresses himself with
all the art and skill that worldwide
markets and expensive chefs can furnish.
No private home can equal IN furnish
ings. appointments, service and cuisine
these great public dwelling places. There
is servant for each guest Reading
rooms, writing rooms, dining rooms, guest
rooms. palm rooms. parlors OF oriental
and tropical design are all sumptuously
furnished And there is no servant prob
lem. no marketing for the housewife, no
cares or details Of housekeeping.
All these burdens are shifted to the
broad shoulders Of the hotel manager
1T is not the cost of living" says James
J. Hill. but the cost Of high living that
urious surroundings Of hotel life some-
body must pay. The hotel keeper has
enough worries Of his own. His troubles
consist chiefly in making a living from a
So. 600, 900 investment, and to do this he
must, like other workers in this great
beehive Of activity. reduce everything to
a business
Over in France they have started 4
school for the tuition Of hotel keepers
In this country it is the hard school of
experience through which Boniface must
pass to get his diploma. We are too
busy in hotel keeping to start kindergar-
tens. When a syndicate Of capitalists
invests several million dollars in q great
modern fireproof hotel 1t wants q man
to run 1t who can pay his rent or show
dividends on the investment
Running a hotel Is like managing a
small city Of several thousand inhab-
itants, except that all the housework and
financial management must be done un-
der one roof. The mayor Of this little
city finances the plant and manages
every department so that loss is reduced
to minimum and profits are raised to
the highest limit. But the inhabitants Of
his city are hard to please. and II things
do not suit them they move across the
way, where rival hotel city extends
Turing counter attractions.
And no mayor OF city Is paid quite
