Sonny were great pals. But in

Having lived with me two days
at a suite at the Plaza, Billy went

tions, but sent 'Dapper Dan to tell
me rudely that he was disgusted
with. me and with marriage; that I
had better take what little had
left and leave for home.
Later, Billy called on me and
protested that he would do the right
thing by me. offered to leave the
hotel and give up all sorts Of lovely
times that girls like and be a wife to

would straighten out.
