the stage door, steered through the labyrnthlne
passages beneath the stage on my way to Jessies
dressing room. Other dressing rooms opened up on
each side all along the corridors, and each one was
crowded with the pretty creatures that the audience
had come to see. Many of them were passing from
one dressing room to another in various stages Of

she had taken possession of the bottle and called
for corkscrew, she introduced me to her ROOM
mate, Miss Margaret Irving, whom later found to
be very delightful girl, utterly unlike the usual
type Of show girl.

return to later.
The party broke up few minutes before the
curtain went up at the theatre, and was left in
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 Jessie'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.

guests. She apologzed for ending the party at that

We insisted, but Miss Brady sleepily declared
that only boilermaker would get married at nine in
the morning, and we had to rouse Miss Florence
