The bell captain is the kingpin. He knows everyone and everything, can get you liquor after closing, women, men, anything at any hour; find a pair of nylons, a traveling crap game, or clean diapers for your pride and joy. Conveniences and necessities provided by this functionary are to be rewarded lavishly. Ask for him if you want extraordinary service. It is difficult and dangerous to fall in with streetwalkers on the avenues, and next to impossible to locate a gambling den or a house of joy. But the cops can't put a man on every bellboy. Many of them become intermediaries for purveyors of the particular kind of surreptitious pleasure you may seek; many also use them when the end in view isn't particularly sinful. For instance, they are strangers in town, find themselves in the mood to see a show or go dancing with a nice young lady. What do they do? Call the boy, of course. He gets them what they want. There is a difference--more than a subtle difference--between "call" girls and "party" girls, as previously set out. Those in the first category go through all the earlier motions--and the later ones, too. But the party girls are just what their name implies. They'll dine and dance with you, court and even romance with you. But they aren't prostitutes, if that's what you're looking for, and when it's time to go home, they go to their own home, unless you've clicked hard and registered high appeal. Many of these gals are models or show gals trying to earn a few extra bucks, honestly. Some of the call girls are also models or chorines, but their extra few bucks aren't earned so honestly, by pious standards. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 1: INSIDE STUFF: If the gal you're calling isn't home, ask the operator at the woman's hotel if any others said they're lonesome. They frequently confide in the "Hello Girl."] 30. TIPS ON THE TOWN I. How to duck your wife or husband. II. What to do and where to go. III. Do it with what? Problem I is only for the married. This chapter is mainly concerned with problem II. As for problem III, you will have to find the wherewithal yourself. Those without it are advised to remain in Steubenville and learn about New York from these pages. Those without wives, husbands, children, mistresses, dogs or other encumbrances may skip the next few paragraphs. I Most married men of our acquaintance who visit New York regularly tell their wives it's a business trip and get away with leaving the madame home. Once a year, however, or maybe twice, she insists on coming to Manhattan. She wants to shop and see the shows. Now, if you are a smart guy, you will try to arrange your next such trip to coincide with the similar hop by your best friend and his wife. You will find that, if supplied with dough, the women will keep occupied all day every day, foraging in the shops.
