You can easily TX that by commun- icating with the Guide and Es- cort Service that furnishes elegant Adoniscs for the afternoon and evening.
 Suppose that you are visiting the city on your own hook and would like glimpse of the towns night life. Most resorts do not admit ladies, unaccompanied, and are equally as fussy about solitary gen. tlemen. Which is where the Guide and Escort Service, fostered by an astute young fellow named Ted Peckham, comes in handy.
 For 8, MT. Peckham will rent out a college graduate, complete in slack-suit, for four to five hour tour of the informal clubs, bar rooms and, if so desired, a show. The lady, of course, pays the bills and incidentals. If she is tactful, she will hand her hiring escort enough wherewithal for everything at the start. This will prevent the humming of Just Gigolo" in pub lie places.
 Sliding Scale
 For $10, the merchandise is clas- sier, say Yale, Harvard or Prince ton man, available in sWalloWtails wing collar, white tie and collapsib.e opera hat. At this rate, lady may retain her companion for the rounds between Greenwich Village and Harlem, until six o'clock in the morning. For Guide and Escort Service is pretty nice about over time.
 There are, of course, innumerable Escorts For Hire in Manhattan who are in business for themselves. And if you don't think that they con- slider their high calling with reserve and dignity then hark to the en- graved calling card, now before me. In engraved lettering, 1t reads: MT. Voss

 But its greatest boon is new matutinal item. Now Service Pleasel will awaken 8 customer at any stip- ulated time, if the customer has a phone, and guarantee that the cus- toner stays up. Beat that if you can! Suppose patron wants to rise at 6 A. M, for pressing duck hunting engagement. Well, at 6 A. M., the clients phone will clang shrilly in his cars and dulcct voice will heartily exclaim, Good Morning. Service Please!" If the customer curses, that is perfectly all right. Service Pleasel will go on talking until the last drowsy oath. Unappreciated
 They say that Vincent Astor will not renew Lawrence Tibbetts apart ment house lease because his sing ing disturbs the other tenants in the morning. Which reminds me of the time when tenants com plaints about troubadour aided and abetted romance.
 When Rosita Moreno danced in Pleasure Bound" the theatrical press agent arranged for one of the violinists in Harold Stern's orches- tra to serenade Miss Moreno from the court of her apartment house at 3 o'clock in the morning. He was Spanish, the press agent said and so overcome with love for Miss Moreno that his affection could find no better expression than music. As the press agent hoped, the other tenants of the apartment house did not appreciate this tender sentiment and complained to the police. The wan lover was immediately des- patched to the juzagdo.
