SEES Some Thing-s You Want to Know Louisiana Law Louisiana Is the only state In the union which has a system of law exclusively Its own. In all the other states the Jurispru dence is based upon the common law, which is their equal heritages from the English founders of the republic. The civil law. which prevails In Louisiana, Is based upon the Code Napoleon, and that In turn rests upon the old Roman civil law. As both the common and the civil law have the same oblect the safeguarding of Individual right and liberty there Is not at bottom so much difference between the two sys tems as might saom at first glance. The divergences are largely matters of pro cedure of the methods by which suits may be Instituted and ronductod. Kor example, In the United States courts, and In the courts of practically an the otner ttatea there is a law side and an equity side, and the two may not be confounded. In the Louisiana courts there is no equity side, but the law and the equity may be passed upon In the same pro ceedings by the same Judge. The Louisiana law diverges most widely from the common law In all thut relates to the family. In the common law the era phaaln falls, upon the man as an Individual; Jn the I.oulHlana code, as In the French law, he Is viewed essentially as a member of the family. Hence, In Louisiana there exists the curious statutes by which the right of a testator to dispose of his prop erty Is restricted to certain fixed propor tions. Under these ordinances a man dying without children, but leaving a father or a mother, or both, must leave one-quarter of his estate to them. If at his death, he IMi ci.'.lrtren the parents are eliminated as forced heirs and the children take their place: In which case, If the testator have only one child, he must devise to that child at least one-third of his estate; If he has two children, he must leave them at lt one-half; while If he has three or more, h cannot give them In his will lees than two-thirds of his property. .. Under the Louisiana law a minor marry ing without the consent of his parents may b disinherited. Chattel mortgage, which is a matter of considerable prom inence In the common law, la unknown In Louisiana. Prior to 1908, when the state legislature amended the code, women could not legally be witnesses to a will. In general, the Louisiana rode, in all the provisions respecting women, la remark ably solicitous to protect them even from L their own weakness. For example, there V-re stringent prohibitions against a mar ried woman borrowing money with which ti pay her husband's debts. A married woman may not. In fact, borrow money or alienate her property at all except with tht consent of her husband or a Judge, or, in some Instances, with the approval uf both. One uf the moat benevolent provisions of the law Is that which determines the ownership of the earnings of a married couple. Tho code proceeds on the theory that In the great majority of cases the hus--band Is the i wage-earner of the partner ship, but assumes that the wife's activities, though confined within the walls of her home, are of equal value and Importance. Therefore, It is held that one-half of all the money which he may earn shall go to his helpmate. However, property Inherited or acquired by cither member of this part nershipcalled technically the "community" Is not subject to this division, but be comes the exclusive possession or lis recipient. Of course the law does not give either wife or husband any right to property which one or the other of them may have acquired prior to marriage, and the com murtty Is dissolved by death. Moreover, at the time of marriage the parties may make a contract whereby there shall be no community between them, but each retsln tho exclusive ownership of their earnings. In the latter event the contract must be recorded In the mortgage office, where It may be viewed by third parlies, who might otherwise suffer from their Ignorance of the status of the couple. The Louisiana law is, moreover, excep tionally careful of the Interests of minor heirs. For instance. It. provides for what Is known as the "family meeting." This is a council appointed by the court from among the relutlvea or near friends of the minor, which exercises a sort of general supervision over his cor.eerns, and to which the executor must report, and without the authorisation of which the executor can take no step vitally affecting the adminis tration of the estate. Rewarding the nature of wills, the LouIh lai a ende Is singularly explicit, and fr the most part Its provisions exhibit an amasliig wisdom and foresight. One form of will which Is peculiar to Louisiana la the "olographic will," regarded by some of the ablest lawyers In the state as the nirtet satisfactory form of testlmentary disposition. There Is a will "wholly writ ten, dated and signed" by the person mak ing It. Another . form of will may be dictated to a notary, In which event It Is known as a "testament by publlo act" Tho notary Is prohibited from offering any suggestion during the preparation of this instrument as to the manner in which the testator shall dispose of his property; and In case he should violate the law In this rogard, the will Is voided, but the offend ing official Is made responsible to the heirs who shall thereby be deprived of their heritage. The character of the Louisiana law Is most readily understood from an examina tion of Its history. From such a study one may learn, better than In any other way, how diverse are the elements out of which the existing code has been forged, and how deeply Ingrained In the mental prowesses of LESS PAY FOR WOMEN HELP Tips of Waitresses Smaller Than the Jteii Get. NEW PHAS:i OF AN OLD PROBLEM the people are the Ideals of the ancient Roman law. The first laws that were en forced In Louisiana were the edicts of the realm of France and the "customs" of Paras, which were extended to the province of Louisiana by Louis XIV in 1712. These "customs" of Paris were compiled In 1510, In somewhat tardy obedience to a decree of Charles VII, directing that the then un written traditions which had governed the Jurisprudence of the various provinces of his kingdom should be reduced to writing for the guidance of his Judges. When, some sixty years after the publication of this edict, the "customs" of Paris were committed to papor, they formed a work of some sixteen titles and 362 articles. In addition to the "customs," a number of ordinances which had been adopted by the French government from time to time, wire applied to Louisiana. Of these the most Interesting was the "black code," first promulgated In 16.'6, for the govern ment of slaves. All of these luwa remained in force In Louisiana down to UA9, when the province passed into the hands of Spain. In that year Don Alejandro O'Reilly, the new Spanish governor, made extensive changes not only In the law, but In the entire machinery of government. He abolished the superior council, which had been the legislative body of the prov ince since 1712. and substituted the Cablldo, a somewhat similar organisation, with rather more extensive Judicial powers. O'Reilly also caused a series of new lawn to be prepared chiefly relating to the in stitution of suits and the method of pro cedure before the courts in civil criminal actions. These were taken from the laws of Castillo and the laws of the Indies, which. In their turn, were based upon the old Spanish Fueros, dating back to the seventh century, upon the Partidas of Alfonso the Wise, and upon the "re copulaclones" of the sixteenth century. O'Reilly intended this compilation to serve for the instruction of hla Judges only until they had acquired some familiarity with the Spanish law, which was, of course, put Into effect as soon as practicable. As the Spanish law was based, like the French, i upon the old Roman civil code, they were similar, especially with regard to matrl f mouial rights, testaments, successions, etc., jtand the transition from the one to the 1 other worked comparatively little hardship to the population of Louisiana. Louisiana Is not free from freak legisla tion. It has a law fixing the size of carta In which firewood may be vended In New Orleans. Another forbids anjssine from rls- t Ing from his seat during the performance at a theater. Still another makes It a serious offense to entire away from hla employer any hired man or apprentice. There la an anti-high hat law which Is vigorously enforced at all the theaters, and the Jim-Crow street car law la much In evidence In New Orleans. This last cited statute provides that every car shall Complaint Abont Food and Lodging; Supplied in City Hotels Cham. bermalda Better Off in Some Respects. NEW YORK, Feb. 19. "Mary, how do you Invest tho money given you as tips?" the diner asked the waitress in a restau rant where all the service Is rendered by young women. "How do I Invest It, Is It? ' In food that I can eat and clothes to keep myself de icent," Mtiw answered.:. "We gvt very good wages in this place. . It. was no longer than yesterday that the manager told me so. It Is $22 a month and our food, three meals a day. If you could only see the food, for you could never eat It. Every day last week we had beef stew and po tatoes In their Jackets for dinner and not once could I make myself take a second mouthful of either. "And the tips that I get and which the manager tells me should make up for the food which I can't eat! Them selfsame wonderful tips that you are always hear ing about. Today the largest I've had was a 25-ccnt piece from a table of six preach ers that took two hours to consume the table d'hote lunch! The other tables has paid me In 10 and 5 cent pieces. "They say It's because we are In a woman's restaurant that the tips are so small, but I have a man what comes reg ular ever night to get the table d'hote dinner. What do you guess he pays me? Fivo cents every night. He's got to have service In courses, too. One night whpn all my tables were filled I brought his J salad with the meat course and he com plained to the head water. When I showed the manager the 5 cents he had presented me with afttr paying his bill the manager said my wages was sufficient not to make me consider tips. - "Then I've another outside regular, a lady, who cornea here In her carriage. She takes the table d'hote dinner, begins at 6 and seldom gets through before 8. What she doesnt' eat she slides in a little box she brings for the purpose and takes It back to tho hotel where she lives, for her dog. Every night I go by and scoop up the 6 cents she leaves for me. "Those are the two worst, but the best have the rear portion screened off for the use of colored passengers; but as no special sort of screen was provided for the act, the railroads supply one eighteen Inches lory? by fou.' or five Inches high, which, hooked on the back of one of tbe' seats, unquestionably compiles with the letter of the law, though plainly violating the spirit of It. IT niBOBaUO J. KABBTUT. Tomorrow Creole Cooking-. , of them never goes above 2S cents and seldom more than 10 cents. There Is one regular who lives In the house who gives me $l"a week, but if the head waiter for gets and puts another customer at her table she docks me for the whole week. "It takes close paring to pay my room rent, buy food enough to keep me from going hungry, keep up my burying Insur ance and give me the clothes they want us to wear. When I manage to save a few extra dollars I put them In bank against the time I shall need a new pair of shoes or have to pay a doctor's bill. "Our aprons, caps and cuffs are fur nished along with our food, but we have to wash and Iron them ourselves. As we only have two of each and have to have them clean every morning, you see how often we have to wash. "Between the washing and the cooking of our own food when we get home nights there's not much time we have for the en joyment I have heard people talk about our having. I've heard a lot about wait resses going to dance halls and spending their evenings at Coney, but It's seldom I meet any that have done It. It I take In $2 a week in tips I'm satisfied and $3 would make me feel rich. I hear that men wait ers make money, but I don't know a woman In the business that gets more than a llvhig." The same question was asked of a chambermaid In the same hotel. She comes on the floor at 7:30 a. m. and remains until 4 p. m. weekdays, "leaving two hours earlier on Sundays. "I have fourteen rooms and the hall to look after," she began. . "Generally my rooms pre full, though I have but seven regulars. "One of the regulars has a maid and three rooms and a hath. She pays me 50 cents a week If I get In every morning while she Is at breakfast and finish be fore she returnB. If I fall to do this one day out of the seven she gives me only a quarter, If I fall twice I get nothing. "My other regulars have single rooms, and three of them give me a quarter a week. The others give me 10 cents or a quarter when they think of It, which is not very often. The transients seldom tip me morethan a quarter, and usually 10 cents. "This Is when they stay a week or longer. Those that come for a night or two never think of paying a chambermaid. They seem to think my work Is paid for by the hotel, and so it Is in a way. We get $14 a month, with board and lodgings. The loard Is bad. Our room Is large, with two outside windows, so we know It la healthy, though there are six of us In it and we have no place to hang our clothes and only two dressers for trie six. "The work Is not hard and the house keeper Is considerate and the guests, tak ing them all In all, are polite. If the fond was so we could eat It I would not com plain of the size of the tips or the amount of the wages. If you are going to do good work you must have food enough to keep up your strength. That Is the way my tips go. buying food to take the place of that we get downstairs and can't eat. "There la no use going to the steward about It. That has been tried by several girls and they all got fired. This Is my fourth hotel In New York and the food here Is no worse than It was ut the other places. That Is the reason I stick. Other girls are for running around, believing they will get good food somewhere, but I've given up hope In that line. "The place where I think a chambermaid is better off than a waitress Is In getting clothes. I seldom have to buy my clothes. We are not required to . wear a uniform, only white aprons. Aprons are about the only garments I -have to buy and now that I have stayed over a Christmas I have had enough of them given me to last sev eral years. "Of course, the clothes don't always fit me, but by trading for things given the other girls we seldom get anything we can't make do. It is the same with shoes. We don't get as much as the waitresses downstairs, but we have clothes given us, and our evenings, excepting once a week when we are on watch, are ours to do what we please. The money I get after buying food I put In the savings bank In the hope of some day getting enough to go back to the farm." In an apartment hotel where the two room and bath apartments rent for $150 a month when taken for the season the chambermaid said her wages was 26 a month without food or lodgings. She was a Norwegian girl and has been In this country seven years. "I've tried places where they give you food and lodgings," she said. "They are all the same. You have to share a room with from five to three other girls and the food Is never fit to eat. I'm no grumbler, but there's food you can't eat Just as there's beds you can't sleep on. That Is what I got In those other places. "This Is one of the few hotels In New York where you sleep out and get your own meals. Of course your wages are not large, but with the tips I manage to get a better room and have nearer what I want j to eat than I have anywhere I have ever been. "The tips are about the same as they are other places. I am the only maid on this floor and have seven two-room suites apd five single rooms to attend to. All have baths. As this is a transient floor I have only a few permanents; this winter only two. One Is a lady, all alone, who pays me EO cents a week and gives me what Is left over- from her breakfast. Her break fast is brought up every morning and there are always two rolls and a cup of coffee for me. "The other permanents are a man and his wife. He pays me the same amount. 50 cents a week, and no breakfast, as they go down In the dining room. They have about five times as much as the lady does, but so long as they pay me regular 1 am satisfied and grateful. "The thing I don't like Is when the tran sients come, call on me to do a lot of extra work In the way of hooking them up In the back and dusting their clothes and then go off without so much as saying good by. That Is the way some of them did me only last week. "They were a party of four In my two two front suites. They has expensive clothes and a-plenty of them and were going day and night. They were hero nearly three weeks. When the going time came I helped them pack and took two of the bags to the elevator, but they didn't even look at, me. I had waited on a lot of people from Boston, but those were the worst. "Boston people don't pay tips, or If they do they are so small you have to look In your hand twice to be sure of them. The best tipper Is the western man after he returns from a trip abroad. I have had such men to tip me twice within the morning. Hand me a quarter when I en tered his room and another when I fin ished and was going out. The same man who three months before had stayed In one of my rooms for a week and never given me a cent. "They get In training over on the other side of the Aatlantlc and keep It up. Only over here they feel they must give moro money. A quarter over In my country would be a very large tip, here it Is small for a man, but as much as the majority of chambermaids get In the average hotels. I'm no grafter and I don't complain about not getting big tips, but before 1 got In here I did complain about the bad food they gave us and the crowded rooms wo hud to sleep In." The head waiter in this same hotel was at one time In charge of a restaurant where all the service was done by waitresses. When asked if he had noticed a difference In the size of tips given men and women waiting In restaurants he replied: "They are never as large. Why, In the place where I had girls under me I never knew a single instance where more than a quarter was received. There was no rea son for It so far as I could see except the general belief that women don't need as much money as men. S far as the service went, the girls gave Just as good, If not belter, than the men who replaced them. "Oh, yes, the girls had to go. The hotel changed hands and the new proprietor didn't like the looks of girls In the dining room. He said It didn't look first class. Perhaps that Is the reason the patrons didn't feel that they should give largo tips. "The men came In, and though the food remuliird exactly the same, the same people gave larger tips.
