My second used to do up her hair one
day with blue ribbon and the next day
with pink, in the old happy days five or
six weeks ago when there was nobody in
the house, and singing began and ended
the day ; now the boat boy never comes
to turn the ice cream freezer; nobody
has time to help her and she wears no
more ribbons; she has soured on the
work and gets mad if I call her "sec."
All hotel hands are working under a
heavy pressure now, at the busiest time
of all; there is no getting help when
every hand is already at work that can
be found. At various times it has fallen
to me to take charge of a kitchen for a
fixed sum and pay all the other hands
myself, when the fewer I had to help me
the more money I had left. For such
times I had a rule formulated that i
cook and i helper are required for 25 peo--
ple, and i more for every 25 additional,
and at this late day I find no reason to
change the estimate.
