AND that is what it did. Less than three
"A years after his arrival in the metropolis.
OBJ had not only more than quadrupled in
Wall Street the fortune he had made in Empire
in dairy products but he had become known
along Broadway as sugar daddy"
There are synonyms and equivalents of
sugar daddy" Butter and-egg man. Angel
But as Oh began to take on weight and his
fowls to fall into soft folds of flesh, sugar
daddy" somehow seemed his more apt pseudo
nym
In few short years. OBJ had frankly be-
come the show girls darling He hung around
their Stage-doOIS. He sent them flowers. He
wrote them maSh-noteS He bought them for
hidden wine. He gave parties in his fiat where
adult men and women actually INDUCED in the
obsolete pastime of drinking champagne out Of
satin slippers.
When Oh performed this ritual in his satin
and gold fiat where party of IA was present
he did it with complete Inconsistencies Of
what threadbare gesture it was. To him it
was the most stimulating, exciting and miracu-
lous circumstance that had ever happened to
him. the fact that little Mirabel Moneytoes
musical comedys dancing darling, was actually
Supping with him in his apartment and that
he, old Oh Sinclair from Empire, New York,
was fitting her incredibly small satin slipper
to his lips and supping champagne out of it,
It seemed to OBJ that the vagarieS of fate
were treating him to ride down life that was
as thrilling a scoot along Coney Island
scenic railway
Who was he, Oh Sinclair, to be sitting in a
satin-and-gold fiat in New York, surrounded by
all these glittering people of the glittering
show world, drinking champagne from the
satin cup of little dancer who was the toast
of the town?
Well, Oh was going to make the best Of his
opportunities Before Mirabel MoneytoeS had
left his fiat that night, there was tucked away
in the adorable tile bodice of the ballet
frock she wore substantial evidence of Obs
appreciation of the miracle that had befallen
him
It was curious, but with all his lack of
aStuteneSs in his dealings with people in a
world so alien to him, OBJ in the beginning
never for moment forgot just what his re-
latiOnSflip was. AS the town began to wag
about Mirabel's new sugar daddy" OBJ knew
precisely to what he owed the great privilege
of his title. Money. And OBJ who was by
them IN the seVen-EGure class of finance, never
for moment forgot it.
MIRABEL MoNEYTOEs had fiat, or rather
bungalow built especially for her on
top of the 21st story of one of the towns
smartest hotels. She had a special-body car
OF Italian make, said to be the most expensive
limousine ever brought into America OBJ lit
orally covered the slender forearmS of the
little dancer in bands of jewels
AS for Mirabel, with an instinct Of the fair
play OF give and take she showered upon OBJ
In return her dainty charm and whirled about
1or all the world like hummng bird con-
sclous of its brief life and greedy for the honey
while it lasted
IL Is difficult to know at just what point
DDS sane appraisement of the situation began
70 cohapse. After two or three years of main
tanning his position along the Rialto as "sugar
daddy" to the lovely little dancer, OBJ began
