It stands out first and foremost as the exemplification of the spirit of the town or city In which it is located, our home and he judges us by the would judge us by the manner in within our family circle. As the metropolis of the world, supreme not only in population but im finance, commerce, manufacturing and other things, New York many naturally has the finest hotel facilt- commodutions money and $ can provide, In the central area of Manhattan, where the world comes to shop or be amused, there are @ score of hotels in which the vis- itor will find every convenience mod- ern ingenuity has been able to con- ceive. ‘The fifteen hundred hotels of the city fittingly represent and main- tain the prestige of the metropolis. In the viggest of the big ones you can walk five miles in the corridors throughout its twenty-seven stories, not Counting the roof, and !f you stopped for only a few minutes in ach of its rooms it would take @ k or ten days to make the trip. The building covers two acres—has forty-six acres of floor space—equal to ten times the area of Bryant Park or six times the area of City Hall Park, it has rooms and 2,200 bath rooms equipped with 1,760 bath tubs and 953 show: ‘The bath tubs if placed in iine, end to end, would extend from 23d Street to 63d Street along Broadway. This one hotel takes care of 3,300 guests and more than 5,000 visitors daily. On special occasions when the ‘great banquet halls, and meeting rooms are in full swing the popula- tion of the hotel, including nearly exceeds 15,000 persons: ‘The twenty-eight elevators in the building travel considerably more oan dé milea a day, equal to the dis- tance by rail to Buffalo or a round trip to Boston. The telephone exchange, which is as large as that of many cities with up to 50,000 population, has 3,340 ex tensions, handies 7,000 to 8,000 calls day and requires the services of sev- enty-three telephone operators. Four lines and as many operators are re- quired to receive and transmit orders for breakfast to be served in the rooms of guests. The bills of fare contain as many 500 items. Between 11,500 and are served a day, and 350 » employed in the dining alone. The chef's department acres of floor space, and be- arge kitchens there are chens on each floor. real cooks preparing des scores of helpers. twenty women are kept prepa egetables, though vegetables, such as potatoes, are cleaned and handled by ma- chinery. There are fifteen butchers cutting meat and poultry, eight oys- ter men, thirteen bakers, twelve pas- try cooks and eight men to do noth- t make ice cream. Eons Tdea of the foodstuffs handled vy this force during twenty-four hours may be gathered from the amount of some of the food con- gumed. This one hotel uses about 7,000 eggs a day, 1,500 quarts of milk, 400 gallons of ice cream, 20,000 rolls, 700 immense loaves of bread, 600 pies and mounntains of fancy cakes and pastry, 200 pounds ot coffee, 900 pounds of sugar, 3,000 pounds of meat and close to one-half ton of poultry. The housekeeping department is manuged by a head housekeeper who has a first and second assistant, 27 floor housekeepers and a large crew of ehambermaids and cleaners. ‘The maids are assisted in their work by @ device which may be called ‘one maid power” autos. These are carts which are used in handling linen and such other articles as are necessary in mak- ing the rooms ready for the comfort and convenience of the guests. Tn the engincering department there are 28 engincers, 26 electricians, 9 bers, 40 painters and a host of Qher mechanics and helpers as well as eome 70 elevator operators. Thero are 111 mijes of plumbing pipes to be eared for, water ‘ilters which treat 2,000 gallons a minute and hot water heaters handling 26 gallons a second. ‘The 650 miles of wiring used in con- nection with the 18,000 electric light 2,800 employ as abs if connected up with the tele- e wires in the building would ne somewhere south of Birming- Ala. “ne laundry handles 46,000 pounds of laundry a day and is a model of fection equipped with up-to-the- fninute machinery. There is a hos- pital with five nurses and several doctors and surgeons. Practically every thing a guest could dream of ‘a to be found in the hotel. ‘The loss in Chinaware and linen tn New York's biggest hotel is almost beyond belief, To the ordinary uousewife who dreads the breaking of a single plate and considers the smashing of a cup as a real catas- Tophe, the atatement that on an ave- rage day 115 dinner plates, 100 bread and butter plates, eighty soup plates, 120 cups and saucers as well as doxens and dozens of other pleces of ehina are consumed, may seem start. ling, but the daily loss is not confined to chinaware. ‘The lnen room records show that seven table cloths, ye napkins, 168 pillow cases, twenty bedspreads. 200 face towels and eighty to 100 bath towels go out every twenty-four hours never to return, The consumption of towels alone often reaches 7,000 or more # month, Some one with a conscience sent spoon back to the hotel recently.

Even some honest people consider it great sport. In the front office where tne in- coming visitor gets his or her first tm- pressig of New York City hospitality there is an army of clerks. Twenty- six are engaged in merely rooming the guests and about sixty handle about 25,000 sets of figures covering the accounts of the guests that come to the accounting department during each day. In addition there are some forty or more floor clerks who take care of the mail and personal wants of the guests,.acting to a consider- able extent as personal secretaries to the visitors during their stay.

Besides I had an idea tt would be interesting to have @ tree go right through the house, So the house was: built around the tree and it ran through the middle of the kitchen, the sleeping porch and through the roof. My rustic venture, however, proved impracticable, since the tree died and Many little ants and other insects found a nice place in which to lodge and hibernate. So the only thing left ¢o be done was to cut the tree out. I consulted with various people and had all kinds of suggestions how to remove the tree without breaking the house. Some urged a derrick and a gang of men; others suggested @ gasoline saw. ‘Then there was the suggestion of tying the top of the tree to another one nearby and then sawing It off p In short, all suggestions meant end- less labor and effort and considerable harq money. I said to a man—a modest carpen- ter who had been working for me doing odd jobs—“I wish I could think of some simple way to cut that tree out,” to which he answered, “Let's look at it.” 1 went over to the place with him, and he stood looking at it for a few minutes, his honest Irish blue eyes scanning it from all sides. Then he turned to me end said quickly, L. think I can cut that down.” , I expected a long harangue as to all he would need to get that tree down, but it did not come, Now, this man is @ carpenter on the railroad and can only do guch odd jobs after hours. So I asked him how he intended to proceed. “Oh, I will cut {t down for you," he sald, non- committally. To make @ long story short, thie man went to work with a will and 4 way and @ piece of rope, a pulley, @ Saw, an axe and a few wedges. And that tree came out of the house “as clean as a whistle,” just as if one had taken a knife and cut it out, leaving only the opening through which the tree protruded.

In passing, I think it worth while to tell about it. First of all, he used his brain and backed it up with his brawn. Ho Sawed off the tree from the top four or five feet at a thme and then let it down until it had reached the roof. He proceeded in the same way ex- cept that he broke the tree in sec- tions. ‘This man, like the renowned Rowen, can carry a message to Garcia. He did not demand this, that or tho other thing. He did not ask for a gang of workmen or a whole lot of money. He took pleasure in doing 4 difficult task. Never have J paid money out with such joy as when I paid this man, who asked only a modest sum It as not so much the money to him as the theught that he acoom- Dlished a feat; and tt was a feat.
