Tracye4d2055c1ec04bf92575642aae6698bc52f8f12a Many a good woman and true has sat in the fashionable restaurants of the world's leading pleasure resorts and wondered how the ladies with diamond bracelets half-way up both arms and a lot of gold vanity things beside the bread and butter plate manage to make their hauls. Well, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” by Anita Loos (Boni & Liveright), is the intimate diary of one super-gold-digger, and gives a fair idea as to the ways and means of her profession. It will also give you more laughs to the page than any book you've read since the adolescent days when screaming over your favorite humorist was a matter of course. I like best the entry about the party to which several famous “literary gentlemen” came to help Lorelei, Gloria and Dorothy improve their minds, “so of course the place was a wreck this morning and Lulu and I worked like proverbial dogs to get it cleaned up, but Heaven knows how long it will take to get the chandelier fixed.”
