Once he darn near provoked an inâ€" | | ternational incident by signing my name to a cable offering King Borâ€" is of Bulgaria a job as doorman. He was always poohâ€"poohing the modern public relations counsel.

I dismissed it as another of the old boy‘s buildâ€"ups. One day Katherine came to see me. To my surprise, she lived up to her old man‘s advance notices. She afâ€" fected the guys around the office like a peat fire on a nippy day. I changed her first name to Sugar and put her in the chorus. Sugar O‘Hara perked up my line like a red ribbon on a candy box. In operaâ€"length hose and spangled tuff, she was that sighful little eyeful they sing about. ‘The second night, one of the customers got‘stuck on her. Tim O‘Hara told me about him. He reâ€" ferred to Sugar‘s beau as "Charley Crewâ€"haircut," but I could see Tim was impressed. The boy was out of one of those Back Bay families whose ancestors ate at the capâ€" tain‘s table on the Mayflower. A month later, Sugar had a diamond to wear with her rhinestone cosâ€" tume. Tim told me the kids were going to get married as soon as the boy finished Harvard. Here‘s where our little story sits down on the chewing gum.
