- At the Simmons Pavilion,
where you can rent a bed in a rest alcove for $1 a half hour
(men on one side of the corridor, women on the other), there
is a VIP alcove which is rent free. It awaits the VIP who happens
to catch the eye of the Simmons press agent.

- More women then men use the
alcoves. "I guess men think it's sissy to get tired,"
the manager told me. "But yesterday I found a man sprawled
out on the couch on the main floor. He said he was waiting for
his wife, who had rented an alcove upstairs. He was what I should
call a free-loader."

The Simmons Company indulgently provides
interior-spring sanctuaries for those who have had all they can
stand. Among those wallowing on foamy mattresses are the waifs
who could not find a hotel room in New York.
