PARLORS, BILLIARD-ROOMS, ETC., FOR THE SERVANTS IN THE HOUSES OF THE VAN DERBILTS, MARQUAND AND OTHER RICH NStV YORKERS. By MaryiGay Hizmplireys. The’ lodging of servants appears to be part ot the great domestic problem. On this subject among mistresses there is a vast discrepancy of opinion. I know of an amiable and opulent fcouple who al ways choose their town house with refer ence to the servants’ rooms. They argue that in every house they and their guests can be made comfortable,but not in every house can each of the five servants have a room alone. So far the servants should be treated as members of the family. This is a necessity for their self respect, and self respect is an element in faithful service. When ii is impossible to give to each servant a room, said the lady, talking on the subject not long ago, there should be large screens provided separating the rooms, for it is every human being’s right to have one spot secured from all intru- On the other hand, a cook on a ram page will not be deterred for a moment by the fact that she has airy, sunny room, and at her next place she may have to sleep in a dark hole off the kitchen with the other servants. At this moment a house in which the servants are superbly lodged is in the throes of a domestic cataclysm, because the cook in sists on baking the fish without the head and tail, and the mistress declares that the servants are simply spoiled by good treatment. In servantdom, the conditions of living ate as widely diverse as between Eleventh Avenue and Fifth Avenue, only in this case conditions of Eleventh Avenue are found as likely as not in Fifth. The housing of servants in some of the crowd ed fashionable boarding houses, and es pecially in English basement bouses is nauseating. The top floor is too valuable as rented space for servants, so they are packed away in the basement. The base ment of an English basement house is be low the level of the street and midway between the small front room and the kitchen; the servants sleep in windowless rooms, and not infrequently have folding beds in. the kitchen. A fact which is dis creetly kept from the boarders at break fast. In the new houses, those which repre sent the latest and best things in archi tecture and domestic luxury, the pro vision for servants is in keeping with everything else. The staff of servants is necessarily large, and of that class pre pared ^ make demands. In the Villard house these rooms were in the top of the house, a formidable and unbroken parti tion separating the men and maids. The rooms were fitted in hard woods and tastefully furnished with furniture of light wood. Two bath rooms, quite as com-^ fortably appointed as those- of the lower; floor, made part of the servans’ suite. In Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt’s bouse the social life of the servants has been con sidered even luxuriously. The basement is theirs exclusively. Their entrance is by a special door. In front is a billiard room for the men and a parlor and sitting room for the maids. Their sleening rooms are in the mansard. These are finished in hard wood and attractively furnished. In the mansard also is a large room given over for their entertainment, where at times they may hold a servants’ ball. In Mr. Marquand’s house the humani ties are still further regarded, A ser vants’ elevator extends from the basement to the living rooms on the top floor. Here they have prettily appointed bed rooms and bath rooms lined with enamel tiles and answering to the most scrupu lous demands of cleanliness. The house keeper has here her suite of robms, in cluding a parlor. The square hall in the Marquand’s house is carried to the roof, and gives place on each floor to a balcony and corridor. This is not omitted on the servants^ floor, where through perforated carvings they can look down on any gala scene below. Another instance ot Mr. Marquand’s thoughtfulness is in a stair way leading to the roof, which has been terraced. Here, instead in the cool nights of hanging over the area to catch a breath of air, the vservants can sit and enjoy the famous soutnwest wind that so seldom fails and look down on the myriad-lighted town, a view in every season full of beauty. These, it must be confessed, are ex ceptional provisions, and only possible in an unusally large and specially con structed house. The general standard of servants’ comfort, however, is higher. Many mistresses take pride in their ser vants’ rooms and make show places of them. In this case the servants are obliged to keep them tidy. I was in a servant’s rOom the other day in one of the magnificent apartments on the Cen tral Park. A velvet carpet covered the floor, and the furniture was in keeping. This degree of luxury was merely inci dental. The tasteful but cheap ash bed room sets are chosen for servants’ rooms, and the clean and comely bedsteads of black enameled iron. Some mistresses go further and add book shelves and possibly a few books, according to their zeal. The prints from the illustrated papers and attractive supplements of the G-raphic and Illustrated News are saved for their adornment. Young housss par ticularly take delight in giving their personal attention to establishing their servants. In this case their shock at the ingratitude of a servant who walks off in the midst of the ironing or dinner is pro portionately great. The problem of servants is increased in -apartment houses. In those houses in which rents are over $1,000 a year the servants’ quarters are on the top floor. The roorns are not large, but are well sup plied with light and air, not to S;^eak of the more aesthetic aspect included in views and sunsets. In the smaller apartment houses the servants’ rooms are diminutive holes on wells. No ray of sun discovers them and the air is received from the base ments, with such additions as it collects from the inhabited rooms on the way up to' the roof. Often the effect on the health is perceptible. In some houses it is worse than others. A doctor from Roosevelt Hospital not long ago said of a certain apartment house that it always furnished at least one hospital patient. “There is no use of my doing anything for you if you' are going back there,” he said to a servant whom he had just repaired. In the smaller apartments it is rarely necessary, and never convenient to keep more than one servant. The shifts to keep two are sometimes ingenious and amusing. The device of one mistress consisted of placing two iron cot bedsteads one 'on top of the other like steamer berths. One servant crept in and the other mounted. They had wire bottoms and nice clean mattresses and were in every \way comfortable. A servant she said at first objected but finally accepted in apartment houses when the servants’ rooms are on the same floor w it h the fam ily, the life of the servant is so unextri- cably tangled up with that of the family that the chances of friction are largely in creased. There is no servants’ sitting room, and if there were it would not only be disagreeable but unsafe to have follow ers or even visitors who wear bonnets and shawls so near the family rooms as they must be m an apartment house. W hatever interferes w ith this intercourse disturbs those amicable relations which one would wish to preserve between mistress and maids. It is difficult to make mistresses believe it, but in all those private and personal questions that affect domestic service, the maids have the right of it. At least whether they have the right of it or not, the serious difference.^ that continually arise in privaco households do not involve the matter of lodgment or of hard work, but sprang from personal restraint and long hours. A servant may be willing to sleep in a hole and be without light and air, and to work like a locomotive by day, but she wants her evenings free. She can not see when her work is over why she should sit in an apartment kitchen alone until bed time. In Prance they manage tbe servant question better, at least in this respect. French apartment houses are built around a court. In what is called a hotel bourgeois the apartments are owned by those who live in them and the servants’ life is kept perfectly distinct. The servant’s entrance is by a private stairway in tbe rear of the court. The main apartment connects with this division by a single door, When the labors of the day is over this door is locked. The servant cannot en ter it, but the servant is free. When she goes out and when she comes in is of no consequence to anybody but herself- This personal freedom is more valued than wages. And it accounts for the fidelity and long service that French ser vants give. In the French apartments that are let the servants’ rooms are in the mansard. And the results are not quite so admir able. The social qualities of tbe French are here unloosed; the gossip of each family is private property. Marketing in France, as every one knows, is done by the servants, who keeps a book and each month receive their commissions from the trades people. In these servants’ quarters there is a community of inter ests, and at ’the end of the month the different commissions are apportioned' equitably. This prevents peaching- on the part of some less fortunate servant in a family inconveniently small or un warrantably economical. Within their own apartments the servants are absolute ly free, and it would .be a mistress of courage who would endeavor to visit them or assert any authority. The ser vant’s self respect would consider itself insulted, and the proprietor ol it would discharge himself the next morning. French servants in this country some times enforce this rule on the mistresses. In the W. K. Yanderbilt house the only staircase from the first floor to the base ment is through the butlers pantry. Mrs, Vanderbilt shortly after they went into the house told a \gentleman who is my informant that one day she went down into her kitchen, and her French chief told her if she repeated the offence he would leave. This is an extreme case but it is true that the great objection to domestic serv ice by the better and more intelligent class of girls who work for a living is in the personal restraints they are subiected •to. Numerous and repeated efforts have been made to induce girls who work for starvation wages in factories to go into service. All objections may be sifted down to two which are •sufficient and reasonable. The first is that the men whom they may expect to marry will not visit them if they live out. The current phrasers, “A man will not many me out of any body’s kitchen. This puts the blame where it belongs—on the men. The de sire of the girls to marry and to marry men who desire to better themselves in the world will not be considered unrea sonable. The girl may consider house hold service honorable, but the man does not. If servants were allowed more free dom ; if a girl, when her work was over, was free to come and go as she liked, her contract with her mistress having been fulfilled, men would not have to seek them in somebody’s kitchen. In that case the objection to domestic service by the more capable of working girls would be removed. With the knowledge I have of working girls, ot their high principles, of their correct lives, of their fidelity and devotion, I do not hesitate to say if these objections could be removed, if larger concessions were made, and domestic service ranged more within the pro visions of other means of livelihood, this class of girls would be more likely to enter it, and in that case the woes of mistresses would be greatly lessened, and the service greatly improved. Domestic service is so much in line vatb tbe ultimate and hoped-for destina tion of working girls as wives and mothers that there could be ho better training than that they would receive in a well conducted household. Ii they could be led to regard it as a training, school for wives instead of a barrier to matrimony the intelligence offices would be crowded with wide-awake, intelligent, clear-headed girls instead of by the shift less, slatternly and incompetent servants that now, as every mistress will bear me out, make up the largest part of that company. ^ X x s c e l l n n e m x s . The Old Mill. There’s the tumble-down mill on the edge of the wood. Where the brook madly leaps to the valley below; The barberries grow where the miller’s house stood, And! close to the doorstep the wild roses How clearly I longed that I too might be free From the tasks of the schoolboy, the duties of home. And singing my way to the beautiful sea, With nothing to do but to sing and to roam ! Ah, little I knew of the ships and the mills- The tasks of the waters that oceanward flow! My life was the brook-life far back in the hills, And boyhood’s bright visions were all I could know. And now I’ve returned to the scenes that I Theitumble-down m ill and the rock-fretted brook; Oh, that the swift stream of my life had not moved, Save over the mill wheel, as backward I look! I longed to be free, now I long to be bound— The river would fain be a brook on the hill. Oh, could I exchange for the ocean’s deep sound, Thei creak of the wheel in the tumble-down m ill! — Good SouseTceeping.
