Dtf HotoW?althy Women Help Gigolos Get Rich During Florida Season Penniless Young Men, Hitch Hike To Florida, Often Leave At End Of Season In Own Cars. By Helen Van Hoy Smith, In Atlan ta Journal. Just a gigolo! But if you have tears, make no preparations to shed them now, for gigolos in Palm Beach, Miami Beach and other southern resorts are in the plutocratic class. In spite of the alleged depression and alleged unemployment condi tions existing over the United Stat es, the business of being a gigolo is increasing in popularity and in fin ancial returns. After interviewing several persons prominent in busi ness and social life in Palm Beach and Miami Beach, some interesting facts concerning gigolos were un earthed. In the first place, there seems to be different stages of gigoloism. There are sometime gigolos, all-time gigolos and the occasional gigolo. And here is a story the truth of which is vouched for by unimpeach able sources: There was a young man In New York who had lost his job. He didn’t want to have to sell apples. His room rent was due, and his tailor was beginning to Inclose personal notes with the "Please Re mit’’ statements. So George decided that he would hock his heavy overcoat and hitch WEEK OLD RED CHI CK8 THAT you can raise without brooder. A real bargain. Make line summer broilers or winter layers. Bred to lay.

C. hike to Florida and pick up a Job. Just any Job. even It It were in a soda fountain. George had a good education, and was gallant and good looking. When he arrived In Palm Beach he found that all, of the Jobe had been taken, and. the*, one night in a aandwlch establishment, he met a chauffeur who remarked that the lady he drove for was a night club hound, but had no escort to take her about. He said that she was on the lookout for a young chap who was a gentleman who would take her out to dances. This gave George an idea. An in terview was arranged. Money changed hands. George served him self with a new tuxedo, garnished it with a carnation and In a short time found himself In a good-pty lng business. The lady had no designs on George. She Just wanted a depend able escort. She was a widow, and utterly respectable Bhe liked to go Out about two evening* a week. On the other evening* she discreetly let some other friends know about George. He received >10 and up each evening in addition to having all of the expenses paid. He is not, how ever. thinking of being “Just a gigolo" for keeps. He didn't get to look at a young girl all season. His employers saw to It that he didn't meet any damsels much under 80. But he saved money, and after a season or two he hopes to be Inde pendently wealthy. nnoiner young man came to Miami Beach with the avowed In tention of spending the season at the expense of others, and has suc ceeded handsomely. He is good look ing and got his fare to Florida by posing for a tooth paste ad. He has a gently flattering “line" which he uses artistically. He dances like a streak, and, under his expert guid ance, his partners, no matter how hefty, seem to float on and on and on, like a wind-blown feather. This young man has no idea of getting out of so lucrative a busi ness. He receives Ups on races, on the markets, and Is well on the way to independent Wealth. He has the reputation of never spending a nickel of his own money, but ma neuvers affairs so that his wealthy feminine patrons consider it a com pliment to be allowed to foot the bills. Or, rather, to hand him the money so as not to embarrass him. If some man doesn't murder this young man soon, hell be one of our growing list of bloated bondhold tm. Gigolos are not always young men. Many are in their thirties and forties. They are nimble of foot and af wit, not hampered by any too much pride, and are willing to live ind let live at some woman's ex pense. No one knows much about their pasts. Some of them have un ovely alliances with bootleggers and sven with jewel thieves. It seems that the entire matter >f gigolos hinges on the economic principle of demand and supply that rules the world. It appears that there are never enough danc ing meo to supply the demand. Ami j the demand is growing constantly, | wlth the emancipation of woman, and all that. No longer does the grandma of 40 or so have to sit on the shelf and swing her feet. Many a married woman has to pay for an escort to take her about at night, while her husband nods over the now'spaper or reads detective stor ies. Husbands, especially alter they have borne the yoke for ten years or more, are much more addicted to bedroom slippers the radio Thou beside me. But Thou has rebelled, and hence the gigolo. In Florida resorts the der.iie to go hence at night is almost uncontioll uble. There Is something in the at mosphere that seems to light strange fires in the hearts of ma trons who had* thought that ro mance was only something you cad about. The night club orchestra, too are responslbls for more than ihey realise. Many a woman, with fitten arches has rising spirits; and u »der the thrill of the music's throb, all unmindful of lieb 189 pounds, wants to put a lose between her teeth, snap of her fingers, and go tangoing about to the teasing tempo of old Madrid. A Palm Beach orchestra has the power to bring back vividly memories of things that never were. Under the magic of the melody, poignant pictures of old Spain haunt people who have never been But what use have music and the call of the fleshpots tn general if money will buy anything, why be man-less? Most of the gigolo-lng in Florida Is harmless enough. The dear ladles, past their youth, want to have their fling They want to be sure they .aren't missing any thing. And then there's the ^story about the lonely elderly man who had been taking a flapper about with him to palaces of the dance- And there was the lonely dowager who had been paying a man some twen ty years her Junior to act as cava lier. The four met, and real ro mances developed. All are now liv ing happily ever afterward. The older couple set the younger ones up in business, mist like a fairy tale, Isn't It? Only It happens to be true. And then there’s the true story of the English lord Let us call him Lord Whoslt. He U said to be a re mittance man, the black sheep of a proud old British family. He is now an old man, and of late had been employed to sweep, out the batn house of a casino near Miami Beach. He lived there the year round; a fine figure of man, well over six feet, straight as an arrow, and pos sessing a handsome set of whiskers Which he wore parted In the middle. Tourists, only knowing that he had a title, which by the way Is genu ine enough, flocked about him. For years he has been Invited to parties and affairs of all sorts. People do love to see theta- names In the paper, coupled with that of a title. Lord Whoslt wore excellent clothes, end they were all given to him by va rious admirers, both masculine and feminine. Just the other day he married a woman of wealth, who will be flattered when she lj refer red to as Lady Whostt But the ca sino manager mourns the loss of a good sweeper, it isn't a casino fre quented by the wealthy, and he got Lord WhoRlt for $12 a week Ills society friends probably dtdnt dream that he pushed the broom about the hath house in off hours. Now that the season Is over many of the»gigolos have departed tor oth er climes. Many of the women who employ them in resorts would scorn to do such In the home town Not every one tn Florida Is from New York. Cities all over the nation a-e represented. Many of these women who hire gigolos are most estimable; prominent, in church and club w mk at home and living exemplary lives. They are certainly entitled to pick a scarlet hibiscus blossom In Flo:Ida If they wish to And very few have a romantic at tachment for the man who escorts them to night clubs It is all purely business. Here and there, of coiys> , some woman will develop a fondness for the temporary boy friend, bi t these cases are the exception rather than the rule. Most of the lone wo men are widows or at least detached for the time. In some cases, however a husband tired from playing golf all day. will pay the way of n voting cr man to sec that his wife has a good time. Those of the gigolos who haven’t departed are remaining In Florid" to recuperate from the strvutous season. They sun themselves c*i the beach and keep as far away from dance music as possible. Many are consulting real estate men, Rnd are buying up mortgages at a discount. Some have bought near automobiles to drive up north in Some are preparing to work at other resorts. Let it be said that few of the oet ter-known society women employ ' the gigolo. But there are large num bers of wealthy women, unknown, unhonored and unsung In the ■ o- ( rial directories, who flock to Fiv Jda, and who w-ant pseudo romance well enough to pay for It. A fewr ugly cases have become known and some sinister phas*s cf blackmail schemes have been worked by gigolos, but mostly it’s all Just for the moment, and nobody's hurt. NOTICK or ftE-SAME.
