MISS GEORGES CHRISTMAS
Happy Memory Of Season When She
Did Not Write One Glad
Holiday Story.

ESlNSSNI H, my happiest Christmas!
MNAYM | did not then realize 1t, but
"a N M | recall it now with ra
kg diant glow of delight. II
was my first season upon
the stage. | was only a novice, one
day soaring upon the buoyant wings.
of boundless ambition; the next
plunged In an abysmal depth of doubt.
despair and selfdepreciation. It was
a very tiny part that had fallen to me.
The compensation was but sufficient
for the barest necessities. The route
bristled with all the horrors of the
one-night stands.
At midnight, huddled, miserabiy
worn, detected, and wretched, In the
waiting room Of a country station,
listening in vain for the whistle OF
belated train, I confess to a sudden
food Of tears. What a mockery this
Christmas day had been. Even the
chimes had sounded like the telling
Of funeral knell. The cherries dis
comforts Of cheap hotel, the unsa
worry. slatternly served travesty upon
Christmas dinner, the cold chill Of
shabby, musty dressing room, the
added toll Of an extra matinee for a
mere handful Of people. and now the
hungry wait for an accommodation
train Of dingy day coaches.
That was all Christmas had meant
to me. Iowa was blizzard swept.
Mails were delayed and tangled wires
hung useless in gathering snowdrifts.
No message OF cheer, no souvenir OF
remembrance, had come to any of us.
Our hollow, half.hearted exchange Of
Christmas greeting had carried no
conviction. We were only strolling
vagabonds, outside the pale Of sym.
| pathy, debarred from the domestic
joys of living, mere dispirited rain
bow chasers, with success ever mock
ingly elusive.
But as recall it all now, / am sub
merged by q great wave Of passion
ate, longing regret, for I know tina
such q Yuletide will never come II
me again while / am upon the stage
1t was my happiest Christmas. be
cause the first and only one, since
began to tread the thorny and tor
tuous path of my profession, that
have not been called upon to write
Christmas story.

MISS DUpREE'S HOLIDAY JOY
She Recalls One Memorable Christ
mas Performance In the City
of New Orleans. -

gR4ggs HENEvER possible, pre-.
Ia ANsM fer spending Christmas
AXTgH with my family out on
sS9ksASSHA Long Island, and unless my
--- engagements take me too
far away ! always make it q point to
be with them on that day.
There are times, however, in this
profession when the wish must take
second place to necessity, and from
the viewpoint of actual novelty sup.
pose my most interesting Christmas
was the one l spent in the southland.
Our routing took US into New Orleans
at Christmas, and to me, who had al
ways up to that time spent the day In
the colder north, the novelty Of seeing
trees In leaf and flowers blooming was
as pleasing as it was unusual.
On Christmas afternoon, when 9TH
ers were home enjoying the big dinner
with the family, was getting ready
for a special holiday matinee. / was
not pleased with myself or with pro.
fession that demanded Of its members
that they labor on Christmas day
above all others-and 1t was not with
a particularly light heart that
dressed for my part.
But when the curtain went up on
the first act and l made my entrance
the welcome l received compensated
for the disappointment felt.
1t was a special matinee arranged
for the poor children Of the poorest
quarter of New Orleans, and the en-
ioyment of those childish auditors
soon melted the disappointment out Of
my heart,
After the matinee l had arranged
with my manager that would receive
the little folks on the stage, and the
wise man in his knowledge OF childish
hearts sent out a hurrys order fol
candy and other things that make
Christmas a day of cheer to Riddles
At the conclusion Of the last act thu
stage was cleared and held the mos
unusual reception that l ever expert
enced.
Clean as pins, but with their littl
bodies clothed in many cases in gai
ments ragged and frayed. they cam
I'm on the stage, were introduced an
sent away after handshake, eac
with a box of candy.
| have spent many other delightfu
and out-of-the-ordinary Christmases o
the road, but none that afforded m
more real satisfaction than the on
in New Orleans.
