And strangely enough the moat likely places to find them are in eocktail bars and the plushy nlgbtarlsa. And I dont msan bartenders. Tbeas abstainers are mostly college col-lege men and they call thamselvsa rhe Oavaliara, They make a good business of seeing that people who have bent the elbow too many times, booooM tight, loopy ar Just plain stewed, gst homo safely and without having ruined their social standing or endangered ths lives of other motorists. -la thee wrae,-M a aelebraat feel he haa had too many of those Just -one-more U bat to no he can call Wyoming 0897 and a handsome, young and brawny gent will dash right aver, drive him home, and even put him to bed, wind the clock and put out ths eat. Just Say Geed Night The same goes for feminine clients cli-ents except that ths Cavaliers just shove them in ths door and wish them a pleasant good evening and a not-too-painful morning-after. It's against the rules for any Cavalier to cross a lady's threshold. This -escort service for the bibulous bibu-lous was eoncelved and organised by Mrs. Ken Mayaard, ax-wife of the cowboy star. . Mrs. Maynard. searching far a means af livelihood after her separation from ths actor, realised that the death and accident rats duo to traffic- accidents la Los Angeles is terrific. ' And aha had read somewhere that M per cent of the trafflo violators vio-lators hauled Into night courts and hospitals were drunken drivers. Sbs concluded that something might be done about the situation to help the public and profit herself. Baa Beaming Bnslntei So two months ago shs began collecting ths - aforementioned sober so-ber and dependable young sneo, and tonight aha has a business that really booming In Hollywood. The Cavaliers have the enthusiastic enthusi-astic cooperation of ths gendarmes, and just as a precautionary assurance, assur-ance, sbs haa registered her men with local and state polios, and has put their fingerprints an file. There are several way of using bar service'. One doesn't have ta be intoxicated; ha may merely an-ticlpats an-ticlpats M. Visitors to Talkistown sometimes realize that in making the rounds of the night spots they are likely to spend a good deal mora than they can afford.. So a Cavalier is called to act as guide and treasurer for the party. Hs takes clients ' wtierever they want to go, pays all bilk and acta Hks on of the party except that hs drmks only ginger ale with ginger gin-ger ale chasers. When- the budget Is exhausted he says firmly, "Sorry, but this is where we earns in." Hs then takes the people back to their hotel and produces receipts for every penny spent This is a good way, save Mrs. Maynard, to eonvmce oneself that gussling In night ehiba isn't worth what It costs. Mrs, Ken Maynard . the't tip-plan' tip-plan' friend. 1 |
