A
BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
The
Impecunious
Bachelor
$2.00
extra a
month
and
the
service
of
a
maid
Is
gen-
erally
ten
cents
an
hour
or
$1.00
a
week,
which
in-
cludes
giving
the
room
a
thorough
cleaning
once
a
week
and
"
doing
it
up
"
on
other
days,
making
the
bed,
dusting
and
airing,
washing
what
dishes
may
be
left
from
breakfast
or
the
night
before
and
putting
things
to
rights
generally.
Thus
the actual
expense
of
the
room
and
laundry
will
average
about
$5.00
to
$5.25
a
week.
If
the
bachelor
particularly
wishes
to
retrench,
he
may,
as
many men
do,
care
for
his
own
room.
