TONYJBOARDING Furnished by Mrs. William Astor's Gardener.at the ASTOR WINTER PALACE He housed and f ed Fifteen stur dy Artizaus. Fed Well but Forced Them to Sleep on Cots Instead of Beds J » 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.
