WHERE ICE WAS SCARCE.
Amusing Experience of n Prims
Donna I'm Onc-Horse south
cru Hotel.

Miss Dorothy Morton, prima donna,
tells of an amusing experience which
befell her several years ago when she
was playing zone night stands"
through the south. 1t was in small
town of Virginia, noted, even in that
state, for its wretched hotels. Return
ing TO the hotel after the nights per-
formance Miss Morton desired some ice
water, and after repeated calls an old
darky struggled upstairs to take her
order. The darky went as he came,
and il seemed to Miss Morton that he
never would come back.
Another call was made. Up he came
again, saying: "Yas, missus, I'll bring
it directly" Directly might have
meant tomorrow or the next day as far
as the waiter was concerned, for he
didn't come back until summoned. His
answer was always the same. Finally
Miss Morton became thoroughly
aroused, and asked him IL there wasn't
some way that the order could be com.
piled with.
The old darky moved over to her with
an air of secrecy, and in the greatest
confidence said: "You see, missus,
we've run out of ice tonight on account
of you theatrical people. Der's only
one piece left, and de man in de next
room has that. Jest as soon as he goes
TO sleep I'll get his piece for you
Whereupon the thirsty opera star col
lapsed and said she'd have her water
without frappe.
