CHRISTMAS DINNER DATE

TtIE only thing that ever
- put Merry into Christmas
for Iris Oliver, on the three
unhappy holidays since this
lovely young actress had left
home to seek Broadway fames
was dinner at Katie Kill
feathers.
All through the year Katie
served as Iris chambermaid
at the San Pedro Hotel, that
grimy little rendezvous of
struggling thespians which
stands in the heart of the
West Forties. On Christmas
Day, Katie turned hostess to
Iris and other favored guests
of the San Pedro. She cooked
and served a royal feast, al
the tiny walk-up fiat which
she shared with her sister.
who also did chamberwork
but for the Park avenue elite.
Whenever Iris Oliver thought
of angels. which perhaps was
not often since she came TO
Broadway. ii was always
Katie's image that popped
into her head. Katie looked
nothing like an artists angel,
with unnatural blond hair and
anemic figure.
The Kilfeather, as her
guests fondly called her, had
rich chestnut locks end bright
brown eyes. she was buxom
and as. Still and all, Iris
divers idea of an angel from
heaven was the same Katie,
dispensing Christmas cheer in
her two-by-four dining-living-
bedroom near the East River.
The first Christmas Iris had
spent jobless in New York,
she was without even the
price of a drugstore lunch as
the holiday rolled round. But
Katie. with her beautiful
divination. invited the lonely
girl for, a bite of home

a dozen other guests as

party with tales of how Katie
Staked him when he was on
his uppers.
Another was noted Broad
way actress, who told how
Katie had foiled her suicide
attempt when she was sick
and broke. The others, like
Iris. were still in the great
Broadway army of unem-
ployed. But on this day, they
found respite and cheer. as
their hostess outdid herself to
make them merry.
LIVED FOR OTHERS
Katie seemed TO live by
doing for others. Iris often
wondered why such a maternal
soul had never arrie d.
"Sure l found too many poor
mites aroun
ready made" was Katie'S
Every day she min

On Christmas, she glorified
in a perfect orgy of giving.

decorations and h a n d made
gifts for her guests. Iris
could never decide at which of
Katie's parties she had wept
the most-wept not because
she was unhappy, but because
her heart flowed over with ex-
that the spirit of
Christmas still lived, even in
the harshness of New York.

Once again it is Your birthday. Once

marked bitterly: "They don't

he's right down here below"
So he was, Iris decided,
when she met Hugh Banner

man who had money but

and blond good looks.
She had never really talked
much TO him, she confided TO
Katie. until the night the
show opened on Broadway.
Afterwards his mother had
given a charming party for
the cast at their Long Island
home. Suddenly the world
became a beautiful dream to
Iris Oliver. To Hugh Banner
man 1t must have been the
same, for he paid marked at
tention to Iris through the
fortnight that followed.
So with all that went on in
her life, it was small wonder
she had TO be reminded by
Katie of Christmas.
II s'pose you'll be steppin'
out to some swell place for
dinner this year" said Katie
and Iris sensed a note of
sadness in her voice.
Quickly she said: "You
mean you're not inviting me
for Christmas dinner just be-
cause I've got a job ?"
DIFFERENT PLANS
Katie beamed with delight.
81 was plannin' the meal be-
tween your matinee and even
ing performances" she said.
81 know Christmas falls on a
matinee day this year"
Iris gave her hug and
said she would be on hand.
II wouldn't miss your Christ
mas dinner for anything this
side Of heaven" she said.
She meant it, too. She
had no idea whether Hugh
would even be in town over
the holiday. though she did
hope he might ask her out
after the show for supper
But it turned out that he had
different plans. He informed
Iris he expected to eat two
dinners Christmas Day.

"Oh" Hugh's voice fell.

Somehow she couldn't seem at
that moment to explain why
she was turning down a
Christmas dinner date with
the man of her heart for
hotel chambermaid. 1t didn't
make sense. So she swallowed
and said stiffly: I'm sorry"
I'm sorry too" And that
night after the show, Hugh
did not come backstage TO
ask her out dancing. In fact,
he stopped coming TO the

Jones And Loucks
Pay Iona Verde
Ranch A Visit

r. ]. Jones, president of the
Coolidge Chamber of Commerce,
and Paul w. Loucks, secretary,
visited the Rancho Iona Verde,
eight miles southwest of Coolidge,
last week. This well-known ranch,
used until recently as a thorough
bred horse ranch, has been open
ed to the pubic as a guest ranch.
The ranch will be open the year
round to guests, and with its fine
view of valley, mountains, hills
and desert, it should attract many
peope. The houses are built of
stone. with tile floor, and are well
furnished and anyone looking for
comfort, as well as good food in
an attractive setting will find them
at this ranch. All local citizens
should visit this ATTRACTIVE place.
Coolidge is fast becoming the
center OF we'll equipped guest
ranches to attract tourists. With
the welfestabishe Waikiki Inn,
just a mile north of Coolidge,
which is we'll known through the
etate, and the Cactus Forest Ranch
several miles east of Coolidge, on
the Florence-Tucson highway, and
the opening of the Rancho Iona
Verde. there is no reason why this
part of the state should not have
its share of the tourists. Then, too,
there is Martins Desert Court
which has opened recently just
south of Coolidge on the Phoenix
Tucson highway, with its attract
i've swimming pool, well-fnrnish-
cd cabins and food and refresh
ments.
Local citizens can help build up
Coolidge as resort center by
visiting these ranches and then
passing the information on to
tourists visiting the town, as these
projects all help the growth of the
Valley as we'll as Coolidge.
