The rule would crash in toto. It would be impossible to cx- pect girls of lesser rank to be married in their own homes if the so-called ‘Crown Princess’ of the nation rushed New York, Dec. 21—The mention of Christmas on Broadway is likely to be rewarded by a mirthless laugh. - “Yah, Crismus,” says the variety actor... . “Yah, five shows a day and a sandwich handed yah between acts. More work dough.” Or a special Christmas matinee if you're “in legitimate.” In the Broadway show racket there is no Santa Claus. There is prac- tically no Christmas. Crowds are out celebrating, craving to be enter- tained. For the box office it's a big day, as all holidays are big days. Theaters try to crowd a limited num- ber of performances into a limited number of hours. And when the show girls and the show boys have time to sit back and think, it's no wonder what the folks | back home are doing; to wonder about the brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers; to wonder about a wife whose “out with an act” or a hu: band “who's playing St. Paul t week.” It's a time when lonely show girls—if any—wonder what they are doing in New York. see There are a number of good samar- itans in New York who try to put on a fine Christmas spread for the young ladies of the chorus. One woman in- vites some 20 girls each year, but oft- times they're too tired to attend— what with the extra matinee. Acertain philanthropic soul who knew little about the prevalence of stage mothers took it for granted that most show girls are “alone in the big city” and issued a blanket invitation to some 40 girls. A lavish feast was spread, but only about 10 appeared. The others ell had mothers waiting for them at home. “Though the woild knows they'd like to get away from ‘em for a couple of hours,” one guest remarked. ee oe During the holiday season Manhat- and no more} off to be married in her fiance's home simply because he lived in a bigger and more famous home than her own. Mrs. Hoes recalls that she “never could quite accept the Frances Fol- som-Grover Cleveland wedding.” “That is the only White House wedding of a bride who was not, at least, related in some way to the White House master or mistress,” she reminds those who point out that there have been other White House for brides whose home was ite House s out that Miss To d John Qui ce of President Jac other bride, Miss Em. niece ot I 1 ye Lea es Folsom the only White House bride really detied etiquet. by marry home. © social bureau dan 1 have been bet brides, even if related to House tenants, had put ore t riunity to n tell how ite House bride. rumbull had lived the period of the C! } tthe 2 beau- tiful your to her. in her fiance's | | TEM PLE — TEXAS— LEFT ON AVENUE "B= RIGHT ON FIRST ST.

As in the former instance, when he suffered three months with “rab- bit fever” about 12 years ago, the germs on which he was working over- came him soon after he had begun his laboratory attack against them. His subsequent success in discover- ing, single-handed, the origin of this malady in rabbits and similar ani- mals and their parasites, has brought him international fame.

A bachelor, 56 years | old, his work holds a charm which {has lured him, for years, into his la- |boratory morning after morning by |6 o'clock, although his associates do | not begin work until two or | hours later. Except for very brief lunch periods, {he has seldom left that little room ‘until 5 or 5:30 in the afternoon, an {hour after closing time. Tien, day | after day, he has gone to dinner, out for a short walk, into a moving pic- ture show, and home to bed. Rarely has he taken any part of the annual 30 days’ leave of absence to which he is entitled as a government employe. Wow, unless the unexpected hap- Pens and a relatively quick cure for undulant fever is discovered, he can not do any of these things he so in- tensely likes to do, and his friends feel that, for this reason, he is likely to find his illness excessively irk- some. He is doing everything he can, with the knowledge he has been able to gain about the germs attacking him. to assist the physicians who are working on his coer te his scientific agsociates are not in the habit of let- ting their hopes obscure accumulated evidence.
