»
Newport, '■'•■pr 6 Mrs. William '
Astor, who at her beautiful)
country place, Beachwood, in
Bellevue avenue,for several month:
every summer whs Hstnundcd **
few days ago to learn that her
trusted gardener, John E. Ham
mond had been using the p'ace in
her absceuce all last winter as a (
boarding bou»e. i
When the story came to her she
could hardly believe it, for Ham
mond’s father worked fjr the late
William Astor years huo as a gar
deuer, and tb u smi had almost
grown up in the family. He was a
man of parts, too, for four years
a 4O he was a member sos the Com
mon Council of Newport.
How Mrs. Astor got wind of the
story is not known, but when she
called Hammond in from his work
on the lawn it is believed she had
it in all its details.
Wh 11 she accused him, it is said,
he made a denial, but that, if so,
as of no avail with Mrs. Astor,
for she discharged him on the spot.
The trust reposed in Hammond
made it particular easy for him to
carry his plan into execution. He
and his wife lived in the lodge in
summer, but when Mrs. Astor left
for town in the autumn they trans
ferred thenise ves an 1 their belong-
ings to the house itself, where Mrs.
Hammond entered upon the duties
of housekeeper.
This took place last year, early
in October. Hammond is thrifty
and has a down-coast innocence
which is not calculated to let him
see the aspect of things at times;
so it is probable that when the
idea of the boarding house came in
to his mind it struck him in no |
other light than as a dazzler of the, 1
first water.
There is one thing about John |
however, and that is that he’s 1
thoughtful. If he discerned noth
ing out of the way in using Mrs.
Astor’s house for boarders, be at
least had the delicacy to infer that •
Mrs. Astor mightn’t like to have 1
his prospective guests sleeping on
her superfine hair mattresses and
uud-r her d >wnv comforts. That
realization may have caused him
a pang, but heicnew his duty, and
did it. He bought cots.
The sacrifi ;e meant more to him
than might be imagined at first
because nobody, if he has ever
tried it, will pay much for sleeping
on a cot —even in a fine house.
That meant a loss to John, of
course, and had it not been a mat
ter for the consideration o_ his
turdy c msci euc«, it is possible
that he might have succuml ed to
temptation. But he weathered the
storm and bought the-cots.
There were fifteen ot them, and
he went to select them personally
because he didn’t want the kind
of canvas cot that has a hollow in
the middle and jumLles s sleeper’s
anatomy.
He got the best kind, slats and
mattresses, and had them taken to
Mrs. Astor’s. There he took great
pains to set them on a correct level
in Beechwood’s many rooms.
Here, again, his delicate discern
ment came into play. He thought
Mrs. Astor might not like to have
boarders to sleep in her best rooms,
so he chose all those in the rear of
the house.
After everything had been ar
ranged, John looked about for his
boarders. There were carpenters,
and plasterers, and other superior
work folk, who were employed in
interior alterations in some
of the big houses along Bellevue
avenue.
To these he went, and told in
slowing colors the life he could of
fer them at a country villa, and he
said it wouldn’t be very dear.
He advanced the argument that
they would be much nearer to their
work than they would be if they
lived in the town, and that they’d
all be there together and might
have a very jolly time.
The picture was a pretty one to
the carpenters and plasterers, and
John had no difficulty whatever in
filling his fifteen cots.
He could have got more to com*',
but bis everlasting sensitive!! E
about doing something that Mrr.
Astor might not like probably pre
vented him from making Beech
vood the largest boarding house
u towu.
The function of Mrs. John was
Ihe cooking of the boarders’
breakfasts and suppers. Their din
ners she gave them to take to their
work in tin pails.
She must have been a good cook
for in the five menths that the
hoarding house w»h running Jehu
did’nt loose a single boarder.
He, tco made ac adm r ible land
lord, it 1B said that the boarders
were sorry to leave when the- spring
came end the house got ieady for a
furnishing oefore Mrs. Astor s ar
rival.
That it was a quiet, hoarding
house is estab isheu by the tact
that tbr-ughout the the winter m -
body iu the neighborbcod guessed
t lat Beechwood was a boarding
house.
That is, uobodv will admit that
he guessed it. Even Mr-<. Astor,
who has be c n here all summer, has
just found it out. Ih his innocence
John might have blabbed about
it.
