The stepping up in tin plate out

would be a beautiful outfit of
some sort. Perhaps
Around 4 in che afternoon
the landlady handed her a
small box. Her heart in her

notice upon it, Yes, it had
come from one of the smartest
shops on Fifth Avenue.
NervouSly she tore the pack
age open. She removed the
contents and her heart fell to
her feet. The mug had sent
her an expensive camera that
had been imported from Ger

$100. But of what use was it
to a girl who needed shoes and
stockings and gowns?
His card expressed his love
and devotion and hoped that
she liked the gift. Mignon
clenched the card in her fist,
looked at her dress in the mir

in so many moods. One of the
strong tentacles of the strangle

sound extravagant, but I've

She Was Innocent

don't know much about her
home life way back in Indiana.
From the way Mignon acted,
the girls all slept in fur coats.
and the only bad boys in town
were those who we're thrown
on the screen in the local the.
ater. You never met a girl
who had so much and knew
so little.
The kid must have been a
truly decent kid inside, becauSe
she never failed to forward a
check to her nome every week.
Her salary was $50 a week,
and $25 Of that sum went
back to Indiana with unceaS-
ing regularity. Thus, with put
$25 to live upon, you can read
lily understand that she had no
more than enough to cover
her small rent, her food and
an occasional pair of stockings.
From out of nowhere and
these things generally happen
only in stories - the dream
prince came riding into her
life. His Steed, however, was
q blue Rolls-R Royce, and he fell
for Mignon in excellent fash
ion. They got along beauti-
fully because suspect that he
was just as dumb as she was.
Which made everything perfect.
Plenty Of Money
The boy was little more
than a youngster. His father
had willed him a grand income,
SO he would be able to remain
q youngster until it came time
to cash in. Strangely enough,
this was his first venture in
the land Of the showgirls. So
you can see how beautifully
everything balanced.
The rich lad found himself
madly in love with the girl,
and his intentionS-believe it
or not-were strictly honorable.
He wanted to marry the simple
little maid-and when say
simple; I don't mean anything
else. But she had objections
Of some kind. She had prom
iSed her mother something or
other about marriage, and she
told the millionaire that she
couldn't go through such a
ceremony at the moment.
Meanwhile a strange Situa-
ton had been established be-
tween them. Mignon refused to
go out with her Roger. The
Mayfair, the st. Regis, the
beautiful Casino in Central
Park-all these spots would
have been more than happy to
welcome Roger and his bride
to-be with open arms and open
cash drawers. But no. Mignon
refused to go.
The Washington times., 1932-02-12
Refused to Go Out

Another two months went by
with tn situation unchanged.
Many, many times Mignon was
tempted to speak her mind
but she Just couldn't bring her
self - do it. Not even when
the boy would press her for a
reason why she would not go to
an afternoon tea with him.
Surely you have a reason,
Mignon," he would say. isn't
thern something that makes you
stay at home instead of going
with me? What is it?"
Whereupon Mignon would try
to talk ,sensibly, but the words
would not come.
"JuSt because" would be her
woman's explanation. "Just be-
cause.
Christmas! Last Christmas!
Mignon looked toward the big
day with expectations that were
of tho highest. This was the
opportunity for which he had
probabl been waiting. There
would be no camera this time:
now he would &C the limit in
securing a beautiful gift of
some sort. Mignon knew that
because Roger had spoken of it
several times. He had told her
that he wa goin~ to send her
sonnet hing very unusual - and
that he knew she would love it.
Heart Pounding
Once again. Mignon could
hardly wait. When he had left
her the previous night he had
asked her to be at home around
3 o'clock in the afternoon. He
had smiled softly and had told
her that her gift would arrive
at that time. And there she
was-waiting with a pounding
heart.
The package arrived. AS with
the previous gift, the same
scene was repeated. The ner-
vouT pulling of the strings. The
quick look at the stores name.
The hurried pulling at the wrap
ping paper. And finally the gift
came out.
It was a beautiful embossed
book in which she was to keep
the pictures she took with the
camera!

Mr.. Davis Recital

Leonard Davis, whose resonant
voice introduces me now and
then to the radio audience of
WMAL, will be the artist to be
heard in recital at the Hotel
Carlton, Tuesday night, February

Mr.. Davis has a beautiful bari
tone voice as loud speaker addicts
are aware and in his program of
song will be assisted by William
Harms, pianist.
Announcer Davis whose star is
pointed toward opera and classi-
cal roles is a pupil of Frank La

Versatile Mr.. Cook

It has long been the opinion
of Prof. Lee Somers that Joe
Cook can do more things on
the stage and do them well in
addition to being funny than
anybody else. But my high re-
gard for the droil storytelling
comic who comes to Loew's
Palace today is the same as
that I cherish for Ed Wynn,
i. e.; he can be as funny as any
man alive and yet keep his
humor spotlessly clean. A rare
accomplishment these days.
Incidentally, Joe Cook will
probably find time between
shows some night next week
to drop in on ziegfeld's Hot
Cha" and see how Eleanor
Powell is doing. This ingenue
tap dancer-and a whiz of a
stopper she is, too-waS in his
show Pine and Dandy" Since
then she has won the title of
champion girl tap dancer of
America and has tapped out
step solos in two Paramount
pictures.

SheNeeded Clothes

The girl thought that Roger
would surely understand her
reason. It was simply that she
had no clothes that would have
been suitable for her to wear.
She didn't want to- tell her
boy friend that fact to his
face; she felt certain that he
must comprehend. And with
all his money he would surely
turn up sooner or later with
charge accounts in various
stores.
But, being in the same boat
herself, she didn't realize just
how dumb Roger was. He was
one of those ethical birds,
and-even if he suspected that
she needed money-he believed
that she would be highly in
suited if he offered her any.
You know the kind of guy 1
mean.
So there the matter stood.
Roger kept inviting her out
and Mignon kept on refusing.
Both of them wanted to say
things to each other, but
neither Of them dared.
Finally, after weeks of a des-
perate attempt to use her
brain, she hit upon an idea.
She would tell Roger that her
birthday was due the following
week! To her, that was the
most novel thought imaginable.
She didn't know, of course,
that the other showgirls in
her troupe had birthdays every
other week. If you had told
her, she would have asked you
why.
The Washington times., 1932-02-12
Was SheDisappointed

Well, Roger took the hint in
splendid fashion. He entered a
memorandum in his little book
just before he kissed her good
night. And he told her she
could expect a little gift from
him on the day in question.
The day rolled around, and

impatience. don't have to
