Officials of the federation explain

authorize a general strike. Sucn ac-

At the same time officials of the
craft asserted that orders would
have no effect on continuance of
the strike. In a statement issued

strike leaders pledged to aid by
their every power enforcement
of the injunction against "lawless-

had come to see. Many of them were passing from
one dressing room to another in various stages of
undreSS, and the corridors reSembled ladies' night

were open, and as | passed by the girls looked up

the beds and shake cocktails, so that when time
came to 60 to the theatre every was happy. The
girls all kissed me and said a darling. The
men slapped me the back and said that was
fine fellow. 1t seemed like Old Home Week
OF course, never dreamed that less than year
later most of these celebrities of the musical
stage would cut dead on the street when they
learned that the money with which had purchased
my popularity was all gone and that did not have
the price of cigarette But that experience shall
return to later.
The party broke up few minutes before the
curtain went up at the theatre, and was left in a
wilderness of flowers and chicken bones and empty
bottles to wait for their return few minutes after
eleven o'clock that night all the busy little bees
buzzed back into Jesse's for renewal of the
celebration. In their absence the walters had
cleared the decks, fresh bottles had been ordered
and the party started again at full swing
At four IN the morning Jessie dismissed her
guests She apologzed for ending the party at that
ridiculous hour but explained that she had to get up
early the next morning to be married. | paid the
bills amounting to $1,000, tipped the walters all
around, and retired to my hotel walking on air.
The next morning was up with the birds. And
so was jessie l have said elsewhere in this series
that noon was midnight for Jessie and that nothing
short Of fire could usually awaken her before four
o'clock in the afternoon. But an important matter
job early.
Both of US felt rather ragged after the celebra-
ton OF our engagement, and Jessie proposed high
ball before breakfast. One hghball led to another
and before long our tagging spirits were revived
sufficiently to set out for the Great Adventure. Miss
Eva Brady, our bridesmaid, did not accompany us
as planned. She remained in bed, her black hair
tumbling in vivid contrast about her white arms and
throat and pale pink silk nightie. We begged her
to get up, but somehow Romance had lost all of its
flavor for Eva.
"Oh Don't make me laughw she said, and
turned over.
We insisted but Miss Brady sleepiy declared
that only boiermaker would get married at nine in
the morning, and we had to rouse Miss Florence
Crane another beauty of the show to take along as
a witness.
The crisp November morning and the long drive
to md clergyman braced our spirits somewhat,
and the realization that was actually going to he

come that could hardly tell the clerk at the mar
rlage license bureau who we were and what we
wanted. II Jessie had not taken charge of things
and given our names and ages and the rest don't
know what we would have done. All l remember is
The Washington herald., 1922-11-19

that when we drove up to the odfashioned New
England parsonage the clerk had recommended my
heart was beating like trip hammer.
At last the minister came downstairs When he
US he shook his finger roguishly.
"Oh, know who you are! he exclaimed. The
newspaper reporters have been calling me up
already"
The reverend gentleman completely overlooked
our shaky appearance, perhaps attributed it to
nervousness; still cannot understand how he
onced the solemnity of the service with the scent
of booze that was afraid would betray us both
whenever we were called upon to join in the ritual
At least, when the service was over, he took
Jessie into his and gave her kiss that went a
full four seconds over the bounds of conventonalty
Jessie was grateful that it was all over that she
gave the parSon a hug and kiss that he will never
forget, if he lives to be as old as Methusaleh. He
fairly reeled when it over while his aged mother
eyed him with severe premoniton of curtain talk
after had gone.
Jessie began broadcasting the news the moment
the ceremony was over wiring to the theatre and to
the hotel that we were married and were our way
back to Boston. This my first bitter disappont-
ment. l had hoped for honeymoon in the peaceful
setting OF Martha's Vineyard, far from Jessies
strange friends.
l afraid they might misunderstand Show
girls have not much respect for tenderness of seRt
ment and the finer things of life Besides the situa-
ton seemed to call for some privacy at least but
Jessie, to my sorrow, wanted our honeymoon to be
public as possible.
hou uoLeH reasons IOr LnlS strange aCtlCuQe,
chiefly that her public" would miss her if she re-
mained away from the theatre single night. The
sad realization that she valued the opinion of the
hooligans who filled the first ten rows of the theatre
to appraise and applaud her charms more than she
did the appreciation of her own husband was a
shock to me, but gave in and steered the car back
to Boston.
We reached town Just in time for Jessie's appear
ance on the stage. When my beloved bride skipped
out OF the car and disappeared through the stage
door with nonchalant "see you later" l became
more and more depressed at the prospects of my
future happiness AS l sat with my head bowed
over the steering wheel and my arms aching for my
little bride, the stage door crossed the sidewalk
and touched me on the shoulder
You Jessie Reeds husband ?",he asked.
MY heart leaped as l suffered an affirmative
Perhaps Jessie had reconsidered. Perhaps we would
have our honeymoon, after ALL But no.
She wants you to get her quart of BOOZE" he
said. She's feeling rocky"
My surprise at this request was tempered by the
thought that NY little bride might really be ill., and
fairly flew bac% TO the hotel On my return ten

in the lobby; and Jessie sat in the middle of the
group like the Queen of the May.
In the first chapter of this series described my
rainbowtnted emotions at this spectacle, and how
scattered a handful of diamonds my mother had
asked me to have set in a bracelet about the lobby
of the hotel. After the grand free-for-all and
scramble that ensued when the battalions of beauty
struggled about the floor for possession of the gems
| presented the solitaire to Jessie and all of
paired to her rooms to celebrate.
l might mention here that the next time saw
that ring it adorned the slender finger of Miss Eva
Brady to whom Jessie gave it a souvenir imme-
diatey after the wedding. Show girls never self
ish with their husbands and admirers. AS soon as
possible husband is trained to be kind to all of his
beloveds circle of intimate friends and to buy them
anything that their little hearts desire. Their motto
is the that of the Three Musketeers "All for
One-One for ALL"
Of course, the management of their community
husbands has more or less finesse about it. No show
girl would think Of running to the husband of her
dear chum to ask him for diamond wrist watch
for instance The wife attends to that by remarking
to the husband that poor little SoandSo is just eat
ing her heart out for watch, and how nice it would
be if he would just surprise her with one. How /
surprsed several of Jessies little friends with tens
of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and furs
will relate later
But none of them ever simulated the surprise
actually felt when saw my $4,000 engagement
rng change hands before the wedding. Jessie, how
rangement.
You see, Eva is to be our bridesmaid" she said
And it is very, very lucky to let the bridesmaid
wear the engagement ring during the ceremony"
1t was very lucky-for Eva, it now seems to me.
One of my errands when went for the ring was
to order flowers, so that when the party entered
JeSSeS apartment it looked like a greenhouse
Orchids and American beauties were everywhere,
and the florists assistants still hard at work
on our arrival.
Jessie had ordered dinner for twelve-her init
mate friends in the show. They included as re-
collect them, Florence Crane Lillian Broderick, Eva
Brady, Betty Morton, Helen O'Shea, Olive Vaugn
Vera Forbes Mary Lygo and Doris Lloyd-all cele-
brated show girl beauties. Some of the men from
the show there-Bernard Granville Charlie
Mack John Steele, the tenor and several others who
not invited
Some of them were very hungry, noticed and
was surprised at their enthusiasm in attacking the
food. The husky young beauties handled the caviar
canape as farm hand might negotiate pile of
HapJacks after hard day in the north 80 acres It
was very fattering to their host to watch them
hoe in, at the same time conversing with each
other IN their carefully cultivated foreign accents
But after the field day in the lobby when they
staged the Olympic games for possession of my
mothers diamonds, was prepared for anything.
