can't keep a cook more than six weeks
and why the butler gives notice.
Which is only another way of saying
that when the debutantes and the ma
trons-the Colds and Vanderbilts and
the rest-took over the Hotel Balti-
more and ran it a day for charity, the
thing was a success. A bigger success
and more kinds, than anyone could
have anticipated.
Work "a Hours, Sleep 48
They ran one of the hugest and
smartest New York hotels from regis
ter-ring desk to page service to wait
ress force. They ran it, these society
leaders, snappily and efficiently. for
"a hours. And then they slept the
next 48. That's when the rank'n file
told you So and to have a distinct
CLINT in the eye.
When the news was allowed to filter
forth that debutantes would replace
the mattresses in all dining rooms, the
average citizen learned with mingled
emotion that the regular walters re-
ported for duty at $50 in the morning.
The debutantes heard it with mingled
emotion also. 1t is one thing to stay
up till $50 a. m.. but getting up at
that bleak hour is something entirely
else again. Right there. when the
debutante heard the brisk alarm go
off. and rolled out of her silken bed
and into her French-heeled pumps and
Red Cross uniform-right there she
began to understand why Heloise, the
second girl, looked so sleepy and cross
so often.
