Pajama Parties 'n Everything

HOLLYWOOD is still talking of the "wonderful" social season that surrounded Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Even away out here on the snow-covered Minnesota prairies there filters through a story or two. But the best one we're heard is the pajama affair tendered by one of the real picture queens. The party was probably not as rich as really painted, but it is known, however, that in the wee sma' hours anyone in pajamas could glide into the festivities whether invited or not. The hostess, we are told, is such a grand little lady that we will not embarrass her by any undue publicity.

It appears that during the course of the evening one of our best actorinos struck up a friendly flirtation with a prim and very agreeable married woman. That is, it was friendly at first; becoming so lovely later on. For reasons best known to themselves, the pair decided to leave the storm and fret and booze behind and go and find — but that is the first part of the story.

Along about five in the morning, an hour or so after he had returned with his fair conquest, Mr. Man, now rather bibulous, was reciting some alleged woes and calling down his wrath upon the "long hairs." "Long Hairs" is right in Los Angeles just now, except in high society. There isn't a night but that the "morals squad" or "break-in cops" charge down on some rooming house and there do batter and probe, dragging out the unfortunate wights who cannot show a wedding license. It appears that the actor and his fair conquest, after leaving the pajama party, had experienced some embarrassment, at least such was the impression the man left by his startling conclusion.
He said:

"It's getting so you can't take a decent married woman to a rooming house in this town without running into some cops looking for a bunch of painted dames."

Needless to say the fair charmer, who had been listening somewhat nervously to the initial outbreak, all but collapsed when she heard the final denunciation. If her husband hasn't heard the story, he's the only one in town not laughing about it.
