when wake up ana Mahogany Is snoring anu
shivering because it seems Hymie cops the
poor horses blanket to wrap around himself
and I am half frozen and wishing 1 am back
in Mindy's restaurant on Broadway, where all
is bright and warm, and that never see either
Mahogany or Hymie in my life.
OF course, it is not Mahogany's fault that
~ am sleeping with him and Hymie. and
in fact, for all know, Mahogany may not
consider me any bargain whatever to sleep
with. 1t is HymieS fault for digging me up in
Mindys one night and explaining to me how
wonderful the weather is in Miami in the Win
tertime, and how we can go there for the races
with his stable sand make plenty of potatoes
for ourselves. although of course, know when
Hymie Is speaking of his stable he means Ma
hogany, for Hymie never has more than one
horse at any one time in his stable.
Generally, it is some broken-down lizard
that he buys for about the price of an old
Hymie Banjo Eyes is a horse trainer by trade,
and considering the kind Of horses he trains
he is not a bad trainer at that.
And just think" Hymie says, "al we need
to get there is the price Of q drawing room on
the Florida Special"
Well. am much surprised by this statement.
because it is the first time ever hear of o
horse needing a drawing room, especially such
a horse as Mahogany. but it seems 1t is to be
for Hynnies ever-loving wife. blonde doll by
the name of Lasses, which he marries out of
some night club where she is what is called an
adagio dancer.
It seems that when LaSseS is very young
somebody once says she is just as sweet as Mo-
lasseS and this is how she came to get the
name Of Lasses, although her right name is
Maggie Something, and I figure she must
change quite lot since they began calling her
Tasses because at the time meet her she Is
sweet just the same as green grapefruit.
She has partner in the adagio business by
the name of Donaldo, who picks her up and
heaves her around the night club If she is
nothing but base ball, and it Is very thrilling
indeed to see Donaldo giving LasSes sling as
If he is going to throw her plumb away. which
many citizens say may not be a bad idea at
that, and then catching her by the foot III
midair and hauling her back to him.
But one night it seems that Donaldo takes
few slugs of gin before going into this adagio
business, and he niuffs LaSses foot although
nobody can see how this is possible, because
Tasses' foot is no more invisible than a box
car, and Tasses keeps sailing through the
air She finally sails into Hymie Banjo Eyes
stomach as he is sitting at table pretty well
back and This Is the way Hymie and IasSes
meet. and romance starts, although it Is
nearly week before Hymie RECEIVERS enough
from the body beating he takes on Lasses to
go around and see her.
The upshot of the romance is LasSeS and
Hymie get married, although up to the time
Donaldo sings her into Hymie's stomach LasSes
is going around with Brick McCloskey, the book
maker and is very loving with him indeed. but
they have a row about something and are
carrying the old torch for each other when
Hymie happens along.
Some citizens say the reason Lasses married
Hymie Is because sh, is all sored up on Brick
and that she acts without thinking, as dolls
often do especially blonde dolls. although per
sonally figure Hymie takes all the worst OF
the situation. as LaSses Is not such doll as
any guy shall marry without talking it over
with his lawyer. But Hynie loves her more
than somewhat. and there Is no doubt Brick
McCioskey is all busted up because Tasses takes
this run-out powder on him. so maybe after
all LaSses has some kind Of appeal which
cannot notice ofhand.
But" Hymie explains to me when he is
speaking to me about this trip to Miami
'"Lasses is not well, what with nerves and one
thing and another, and she will have to travel
TO Miami along with her Pekingese dog, Sooey-
now because" Hymie says, ''it will make hei
