Press Agent Idea

800 N6S'IA 'NS0
It was this same press agent
who thought it might be a
good idea to treat the "Follies"
girls to an outing in an amuSc-
ment park. He picked out the
Palisades, on the Hudson, and
tackled a notice on the bull
letin board. He then arranged
with an automobile company
to provide some fifteen cars
for the girls, notified the
papers that the stunt would
be swell for pictures and color
and told the park to expect
his gang on a certain after
noon.
My paper didn't send me
with the mob. They got me
out of bed at the unearthly
hour of three in the afternoon
and told me it might be a
good idea if I ran over to the
Palisades in my own car. I
told them that I would be
late and that the party would
be over. I pointed out that
1t looked as though a storm
was brewing. I assured them
there would be no story and
that I would be making long
trip for nothing. When I was
all finished they told me to
go, anyhow.
Gets Assignment
So over I went in my highly
attractive Liberty motor car,
model 1917, with no paint,
only one fender and a spare
tire that didn't have the
strength of a good rubber band.
Just as I drove into the park
the storm broke. I pulled as
close as I could to one Of the
buildings and tried to raise a
window that never had worked
since that day I won the al
legged car in a Village poker
game. I was cursing fluently
when a beautiful blonde dashed
out of the building and into
the seat beside me.
How much room you got?"
she demanded. And before I
could answer she was count
i,oo ont loud
1.-TWO more in the front"
she muttered. -Four in the
back seat and two on the
floor. Hey, kids, this guy can
take about nine more" .
There was an answering yell
from inside-and ten Of Flo's
most glorified beauties pushed
their way into my ancient
though strictly honorable. ma
chine. How they ever got
themselves settled is one OF my
life's greatest mysteries.
"You can drive over to New
York now" said the blonde
beside me. Suddenly she
