It may be no time to brood, with
the town preparing its festive raj
ment for a spectacular Presidents
Birthday Ball celebration, but we
have just heard of q life ruined by
an act Of generosity. A few years
ago, when cocktail bars were first
springing up like little crocuses In
the spring and the Hi-Hat's furni-
ture was brand-new, the tale begins
Into that popular rendezvous at
the Ambassador came q visitor from
out Of town, from Passaic or Wee
hawken or some such place. A few
moments later there came another
lone visitor, a tall and husky in
dividual riding out Of the West un-
der 10-gallon hat. "H'ya, Pard,'
said this stranger to our hero
"How's about having q bit of
sparkling Burgundy on me-" It
seemed like fine idea at the time.
Then a bit later the Westerner was
called to the phone, took his 10
gallon topper and his departure.
Long time no see, so our hero rec
onciled himself to his fate and pre-
pared to pay the check. And just
then there came q bell boy with a
note. Dear Pard," it read, II am
very sorry but was suddenly called
away on business and cannot come
back to join you. However, Pard
here is a 500 bill which I hope you
will spend on some wine on me-"
Now the poor guy cannot resist
