What People are Saying
Reminiscences of a Guest at Mr. Duke’s Club
When I entered the portals of the (’lub, a gentle woman pressed a
button and a Negro porter, in a well starched white uniform appeared
from nowhere and escorted me to my air-conditioned, single cabin, Ameri
can Plan on Ilanes Ward.
Having flown dow'n from New York early Sunday morning, December 2,
1 decided I would lie down. 1 had no sooner done so than a practical nurse
brought in a half gallon pitcher of water, but I was not interested in water;
however, she said 1 would like it. 1 took one sip of the water, and I tell
you it could be bottled and sold throughout America. It seems it comes
from a well 2,000 feet below the sub-basement, where the morgue is. I
iu!ver drank anything like it. In fact, I couldn’t get enough of it.
Across the hall from me was a lovely woman, and she told me that she
always goes to the Club, w’henever her husband is going to be away on
business more than two weeks, as she would rather be there than home and
slie knows quite a few of the fellow members.
A nice thing about the Club is that although you are weighed in every
morning, they do not awaken you if you are snoozing, as they would in
some joint in New York.
Another nice think about the Club is that you cannot get lost, although
it is something like the Pentagon Building. They have eleven lines of
various colors—Mosaic tile on the floor of the wide halls, and repeated as
painted stripes on the ceilings. The corridoi’s arc quite wide, and the
middle of same are reserved for important people, such as physicians.
r was invited to spend the Christmas Season in the Club, which 1
readily accepted, and I never lived so high, wide and handsome. My wife
wanted to know why 1 did not come home to New York. I told her I was
enjoying myself so much that I did not want to come home, which rather
annoyed her, so naturally she came down to see what I was doing, and she
had a good time, too.
One of the nicest things about the Club is that the membershi]) dues are
fairly reasonable, but you have to take a physical in order to be ])asse(l by
the Board of Directors.
Why stay home—go to the Club! On leaving, I was told “yon-all come
back and see us again real soon, hear.”
