And he did.
That afternoon the Patinos moved
in. There were in the party Simon
Patino and the sonora and a whole
lot of Patino children. Then were
the sisters and the cousins and the
aunts of Simon Also the sisters and
the cousins and the aunts of the Sc
nora. Also maids for most of the la
dies. Also Wallets for some of the
gentlemen.
When the Patinos went shopping
Mr.. Regan had to call the taxis in
the Times quare section When the
Patinos swooped into Altmans or
Wanamaker's or Lord & Taylor's or
Tiffany's, the traffic stopped in the
neighborhood and the people asked
what all the excitement was about
All hands went together to theatre
or department store or to see the
sights. Simon missed nothing. Nei-
ther did the babies. Usually Simon
carried one of the babies. He's a
family man for fair.
Four or five DAYS after arriving at
the hotel there was great excitement.
Senor Patino had received a message
making it necessary for him to go to
Mexico on important business. The
family was desolated 1t would not
accompany Simon. The ex-store keep
er of the Andes wanted to go to Mex
leo as fast as possible and get back
to New York pronto so he ordered a
special train. Just before he was to
say goodbye to the sonora telegram
arrived that made it appear that his
trip could be put off for a day or so.
He was only too happy to remain over.
The family was delirious with JOY.
The next day there was another de-
lay without departing.
For 80 days things went that way.
Then Senor Patino who had kept the
special train ready the whole month
with steam up ready to start any
hour night or day he desired, paid
the bill, thanked the officials for their
courtesy and tipped the engineers
and others
And he's heavy handed when it
comes to tips.
New York has never been the same
since Simon Patino and the Patino
family left town.
