Father spent thousands of dollars on
Sadie's musical education, and he had
visions of how delightful it would be
to sit and smoke in the twilight and
have Sadie sing him the old songs his
mother used to sing.
But does Sadie ever try to sell her
self to father and make him feel that he
is getting back the money he invested
i'll her by even warbling one old ditty
to him?
Gosh That old stuff? No. All
that Sadie plays is jazz, and she doesn't
even bother to play that for father.
Why should she put herself out to try
to please mere father who does moth

would spend time and money and
effort going after contract that
was already locked up in his safe.
This is pretty hard on father
and mother. 1t isn't what they
