THE OMAHA. SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 9. 1912.
Housekeeping and Home Matters on the
(Copyright, 1912, by Frank G. Carpenter.)
NCON. Canal Zone, Panama I
A 1 have received many letters
yt I from the United States astc-
lean women at Panama. There
are several thousand of them,
and they come from every part of tue
un'on. They are of all classes and con
ditions, from the wives of the high offi
cials, such as the commissioners, who
craw their $ll.0CO and upward a year,
down to those of the lowest salaried
clerks, who get $10) or $150 a month. Many
of them are the wKes of mechanics, of
railroad engineers, of electricians and
tteam-shovel men. and not a few are
nurses, school teachers and the daugh
ters of employes of all classes. In geh
(at I may gay that the woman here Is
above the average of her sex In any
American city.
She has been benefited by mixing with
others of her sex from all parts of the
country, by her travels down to the
Isthmus, and by a life here under dif
ferent conditions than those which pre
vail anywhere else. She is often good
looking. She is almost universally
healthy, and Bhe lacks the lines and
wrinkles of worry which seam the faces
of her sisters up north, ,
Housekeeping on the Iithrant.
In the first place she has an easier life
than at home. Her housekeeping worries
are less, and she has Uncle Sam for her
landlord and he charges no rent. Ac
cording to the contract with the men the
government furnishes the quarters, and
it gives each family a home according to
the salary and rank Its head holds in tho
work. The highest officials have mag
nlficient residences, great two-story struc
tures, many of the rooms of which are
twenty feet square and so arranged that
they open one into the other like a high
class Japanese residence, letting the wind
blow through from " all sides. 'These
houses are equipped with bathrooms of
tile. They have furniture to correspond,
and are as delightful homes for enter
taining as a man of that class could wish.
Further down on the salary list arc
homes less pretentious, the quarters de
clining In character until they reach the
two and four family houses of the more
modest clerks. AH of the hdmes are ex
ceedingly comfortable, and all have wide
verandas running about them which are
so covered with woven wire netting that
the mosquitoes and gnats and the tiniest
insects cannot get in. Every house has
its light on all sides,' and all' are sur
rounded by hedges of brilliant leaves of
many colors, or by strange vines and
tropical flowers. Uncle Sam is tfio
gardener, and the lawns are watered and
kept trimmed by West Indian negroes.
The plants are to a certain extent the
choice of the resident. Nearly every
woman here is a flower lover, and there
are wives of machinists who have col
lections of orchids which would cost a
small fortune In dear old New York.
A Typical Home, ;
Eut let me give you some pictures of
one of the well-to-do homes on the isth
mus. The man who lives In ltjs a rail
road official, not the highest nor even
next to the highest. He is fairly wU
down in. the ranks and his salary is a
little above $200 per month. His home !s
the ordinary house which Uncle Sam fur
nishes to a man of that class.
How shall .1 describe it? It is situated
on the side of a hill here at Ancon, ;
plain view of the. rolling. Pacific. Batf:
of it there is a row of royal palms and
ibout It a hedge of gorgeous red . and
green leaves. It has altogether a ha'f
lozeh rooms and Is surrounded by a wide
poroh screened in with wire and covered
With vines. Inside the wire, at the front,
orchids and other air plants hang from
the roof, and also ferns In pots with
leaves which extend from the celling
quite down to the floor. Some of theso
terns have fronds as those of the maiden
hair fern, and othtrs have leaves which
look like the horns of a deer. There are
chairs on the veranda and this forms the
but-of-door sitting room.
Entering the house you come Into ,a,
living room, which is, I judge, eighteen
feet square. At the left Is a bedroom
quite as large, and on the other side of
the living room is a big dining . room
with a china closet built . Into the wall.
There is also a drying room of about the
!ze of an ordinary hall bedroom, which
has an electric stove to keep the clothes
from moulding during the wet season, and
On the opposite side of this is a kitchen.
The house has also a shower bath and
Dther modern conveniences.
The Furniture.
The furniture of the house Is all sup
plied by Uncle Sam. It is simple, as It
should be ' in the tropics. There are
wicker chairs, Including rockers, lounges,
tables and stools, and . the beds are as
good as at any first-class hotel. The
kitchen has a refrigerator and an Iron
cook stove. It has a porcelain sink, with
plenty of fresh water from the Panama
water , works, and a garbage can, which
Is emptied daily by Uncle Sam's men.
The light is electric, and costs the house
keeper nothing. The only heat in the
house is that of the cook stove, and this
comes from soft coal furnished free by
the government, and put In withtfut
charge. One feature of the kitchen is the
little pans of coal oil in which the legs
of the refrigerator and of the kitchen
table stand. These are to prevent the
many kinds of ants crawling up and get
ting at the provisions. Ants are the
chief pest of the Isthmus. They are of
all sizes and of every variety. Some will
eat wood, and others go for vegetable
spd everything sweet. If a woman has
plants she must keep the pots in bowls of
water or the ants will eat thorn, and If
she sliould leave a piece of sugar out any
where it will be black cf red with these
little Insects.
Some Marketing Arrangements.
I wish you could have as good a dinner
today as I had In this house I am de
scribing. It was a Sunday dinner, and
perhaps a little better than the trdinary
meals, but it was quite as good as any
you could serve in your home. We had
a soup, a fish and a roast, with an entree
or so. ending with coffee, Swiss cheese,
ico cream and cake for dessert.
The most of the food came from the
commissary department, which Is practi
cally the only source of supply. Uncle
Bam runs a big grocery store here, and he
furnishes about all the food that his
,000 employes have to eat. He has a
catalogue and price list of everything,
and the prices are usually far below
those of the states. For instance,' the roast
beef we had on the table came from Chi
cago. It was brought down frozen stiff
in cold storage, and the price delivered
at the house was 20 cents a pound. ; Tou
would do well to get such beef In your
home market, and you would have to
pay 30 cents at the least. The butter was
excellent. It was not nearly so high
priced as at home, and my hostess told
me that the prices of all canned vege
tables are cut almost In half. This la
There' axe xnajef uerade balls
ad many dances
especially so with articles Imported from
Europe. We had as a salad some German
asparagus of the kind whiuh costs 35 cents
a can in the states. It Is sold here by
the government for 20 cents a can. We
had also some delicious French peas,
which cost one-third " what they do at
home. All things that are brought here
from abroad come In free of duty, and
as they' are furnished at only a- little
more than cost they are cheaper.
Living From Hand to Month.
As we ate I asked the lady of the house
to tell me how she is supplied. . She said:
"We live from hand to mouth, but In
some respects we are very much better off
than at. home,, and in others I like our
home ways the better. We are, In facf
socialists, with Uncle Sam s the gov
ernor. All of our food comes from the
government stores, and It ' Is from them
that our bread, our rice, our meat and
even our clothes. are obtained. The ice
is delivered every morning and put into
the icebox. The coal 1s brought to the
bins, the bread is left at the door, and
It Is the same with our clothes or any
thing that we order.
'Our orders are made by means of com
missary books, which we have the right
to buy up to 60 per cent of our salaries.
We cannot get a book, however, until the
salary is earned, and if we-should run
out of a book at the latter part of the
month we have raher close . forage, as
you cannot buy anything from Uncle Sam
except with these books. This Is the only
place I know of where you cannot pay
money to get things. The only legal
tender is one of the books."
"Well," continued the lady, "all our
orders have to be made the day before
they are filled. The government has its
regular order man, ., who comes 'around
every morning and takes note of the
supplies that we need. We have to pay
the order man in advance for all we
order, and he leaves a Copy of the order
with us and takes two copies with him.
One of these, copies goes to the commis
sary store, and the other is used In
keeping the accounts."
"But do you always get what you or
der." "As a general thing, yes; but the trou
ble is we cannot pick out as you could
at a market, and we .have to take what
Is sent. ' I may order porterhouse steak,
and If the man sends me a cut from the
round. I have no redress. If the steak
should be bad I can take it to the health
officer and thus' get back my money,
but if It is merely of a different quality I
could do nothing. I know of certain
housekeepers who when" they receive a
tough steak beat Uncle Sam by setting
It aside until it spoils. They can then
take it to the health officers and recover
what they have paid. . As a rule, how
ever, the supplies are excellent. The
bread is fresh and good, our Ice comes
from distilled water and it is delivered
at 40 cents per , hundred. The govern
ment even cuts our kindling wood and it
keeps our yards clean. Indecj,' our liv
ing Is" much cheaper and better than we
had It at home." . 5 . "
The Servant Question.
I asked as to servants, and the lady
replied:
"The servants . here are mostly Ja
maican negroes. I keep, but one girl and
pay. her $15 gold a month, She has
Thursday afternoon off, 1 but she Hist
come back home to get dinner, and she
must also stay at home, to get dinner
Sunday. My , girl Is an excellent cook,
and she is cheaper than ordinary. Tm?
highest officials have more servants, aiid
the engineer commissioners have about
the same kind , of an establishment that
such men would have in the states. They
have their cooks, butlers and chamber
maids. A- good - cook gets about $20, a
butler $15 and a chambermaid $15. As
to the washing arid ironing, that Is often
done in the house by -.the- cook when
one has but. two girls, and somAmes
by Jamaican negresses who come In and
wash and iron for a dollar .a .day. W:
can also send our clothes to the govern
ment laundry, but that costs more, al
though the; work Is well done. Another
trouble is the machines cut off the but
tons..' "What are your hours for meals?"
"They vary in different houses. The
ordinary meals are three; the first break
fast is coffee and rolls. This Is served
all the way from " 5 until 9, according
to the working hours of the man. The
next about 11 or 12, and then there is
a dinner at from a to 7. Most of the
ladies i have afternoon tea at 3 or 4
o'clock. The usual calling hours are from
4 until 7, and nearly every one Is in
bed at 10."
Where the Clothes Come Prom.
One of the troubles of the woman of
the Isthmus is to get new clothing. There
are practically no dressmakers among the
Panamanians and nearly everything has
to be made at home and sent down. The
government stores have some ready-made
things, but these are mostly for men. and
the women must either make their own
clothes or order them from the states. I
know tome women who do this through
the professional shoppers. They tend in
u 1 ii
p iff $ U I JJ ,V jAj v V rt) amusements J
If- JCHoXs, i f i t C LrfVrr V aie denies A
i in . .. t
their measurements and the gowns and
other things are supplied on approval.
The woman who does the shopping in the
United States gets 10 per cent on all that
she buys,- but this commission comes out
of the merchant.
As to wash dresses, many of them are
made here in the homes. Some of the
canal zone women do sewing, and there
are a few Jamaica sewing girls and one
or two native dressmakers In Panama
and Colon. Linens are especially cheap,
as Panama charges practically no duty
upon them, and the same Is true of the
beautiful grass cloths known as Canton
linens, which are shipped here from China
and sold by the Chinese. Silks of all
kinds are cheap, and especially silk stock
ings, shirt waists, and, skirts, '
I am told that the cost of a woman'i
clothing is much cheaper at Panama than
at-home, and this for , the reason that
she has to provide for only one season
The people wear summer clothes the yea
round, and they have no use for tailor
made suits, furs nor costly garments of
wool. i
As to hats, there Is, I believe, one
French milliner, but most of the fancy
hats conys in from the states. The most
popular everyday hat Js the Panama or
jippi-Jappl, pronounced hippl-happl. Tho
Jippi-jappl sold here is coarse. It is mado
of straw and shipped In from Ecuador.
One can get a very fair one for $3 or $4
whereas a broad-brimmed Panama, beau
tifully woven, wilt cost $8, $10 or $15 and
more. All of these hats are trimmed ta
suit the taste of the wearer, and often
by the wearers themselves.
As a rule the women of the Isthmus
dress well. The most of them have
clothes which fit,' and they know how to
wear them. They have good wardrobes,
and at a ball at the Tivolt hotel you wll'
see as many fine dresses and, it seeH
to me," mdre fine looking women than ?t
a White House reception. We have here
the wives and daughters of many arm;'
qfflcers, and the employes of the govern
ment here are the best paid of thetr kind
In. the world and they all dress in good
taste. ' "
Amusements.
And this brings me to the subject of
the amusements of the isthmus. The
women here are socially Inclined and
there are a number of society sets. Just
as at home. There is the army set, con
sisting of the wives of the high officials
and of the army and navy, for you know
we have a regiment here and some of
Uncle' Sam's .marines. Then there is a
clerical set with divisions ranging some
what according to salaries, and there Is
a society, made- up of the wives of the
mechanics and others. All of these Inter
mix more or less with one another, al
though there are certain well established
distinctions and grades.
There Is considerable dinner giving and
tea giving and there are masquerade balls
and many dances of one kind or another.
There are dances every two weeks at the
Tlvoli hotel, paid for by the Tivoll club,
which has 700 ' members. These dances
are the events of the month' and are at
tended by the women from all parts of
the con.
Among the other amusements are pic

The Woman's Club Movement.
And then the womens' clubs. Tou will
find one or more of them at every sta
tion upon the canal zone, and their dif
ferent activities cover every form of
club work. Some of them are-devoted
to religious movements of one kind or
another. Others, are for, social enjoy
