STAGE DOOR JOHNNY
CLIVH was locking 1b Unease. He
had never had underhand deal
ing! with womer. To get In touch
with Lou-Lou he chose the course
that was most direct. Having wait
ed till hie wUe and Dicky were
tattled for the evening, he slipped
Into his coat and .iat.
Bearing movements, Santa called,
What are you doing, darling T"
'Appointment with a friend."
That brought her into the ball on
the run.
"What sort of a friend T"
"Sort of business friend."
"That's a fib. Ton can't He like
the truth. Besides "
He glanced back In the aot of es
caping. "Besides whatt"
"Yon mustn't leave me alone with
Dicky."
"Santa, you'ie a fraud. Being
alone with Dloky ought to be sec
mid nature."
as he bent his steps toward the
glare ot Broadway, he thought fu
riously. This Dicky business was
becoming more serious than he'd
anticipated. More serious than even
Santa imagined.
The rendezvous that he was
planning was a strategy ot despera
tion. Be set hlmsnf a problem In
arithmetic: It his marriage had
taken nine months to degenerate
to this muddle, how many more
months would It require to bust np
completely!
Having reached the theater where
Lou-Lou disported, be bought an
orchestra seat and handed a note
to the elerV In the office.
"Please have It delivered."
The note read:
My dear Miss Lou-Lou, exouss '
my familiarity It's the only name
by which X know you. If you can
spar ma a few moments, I shall .
ba moat grateful, My bustneae la
urgent. It concerns a friend of
your! Rlohard Dak.
He had written it over as many
times as a school-boy, his object be
ing to spur curiosity and at the
same time to prevent her from mis
taking him tor a stage-struck
Johnny.
Ha felt furtive, almost wicked
a young man on the loose. He was
doing no worse than Santa. Never
theless, as he sank In his seat, he
was thankful for the darkness.
During the intermission an at
tendant tapped him on the shoulder.
"At the end ot the performance
Miss Sandrelle will see yon in her
dressing-room."
He picked up a program and read
Lou-Lou Sandrelle on the list of
actresses. Sandrelle was as good a
same as any if yon had been chris
tened Smith or Jones.
Miserably selfconsclous, at the
final lowering ot tbe curtain he
wandorad into the foyer. Everyone
respectable was departing.
"I have an appointment with Miss
Sandrelle," he muttered, and was
directed to the stags entrance.
Thenoe he was handed on through
scenery in process ot being dis
mantled, till he found blmsait out
side a door in a gloomy passage.

only partially clad and totally un
embarrassed.
"I troubled you. Miss Sandrelle "
"If you're a friend ot Dicky's," she
at htm short, "you're a friend ot
mine. What about him?"
' Perching on a stool before the
mirror, she began to powder her
arms and throat. That done, she
reddened her lips and dabbed her
are with perfume, dive had never
been treated to sights so Intimate
by any woman except Santa,
"You're a nice boy." She spoke
again, attempting to put him at his
ease. "I've a date with a beau.
That's the reason I'm squealing you
Into my only spare moment."
"Ie your date with Dicky r
"And It It Is?" She glanced across
her gleaming shoulder.
"He won't keep It." Cllve sank bis
head. "We're companions In misfor

hate to tell you. He's with my wife,
and there he'll stay till I return to
break up the party."
"The big, soft lumpl" was her
only comment.
HOPE OF FARMER
CHICAGO, Deo. . yr) Presl
dent Edward A. O'Neal ot the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation today
approved the principle ot the domee
tlo allotment plan for farm relief.
As pars of a leglelatlv nirfre.ro
advocated at the farm bureau's 14th
annual convention, O'Neal said the
agricultural marketing aot "muat be
amended to provide for the disposal
of that part of our atapls eomraod

"The blggeat a pot In the present

Cllve raised his eyee shyly. She
was lovely, collected, entirely un
daunted. With slackened speed she
was brushing her fair hair, which
Santa had declared was tinted.
"I'm wondering," he faltered.
"why he couldn't be content with
you?"
"I'm not his class, dearie." She
smiled at her reflection. "Yon ought
to paste him one on the nose, or,
better still, go home and beat up
your wife."
"Out of the question."
She turned In surprise, tapping
her knee Impatiently with her
brush.
"Can't beat up jft.ur wlfel Who's
a better right? What's to prevent
you?"
A thousand reasons."
It's not done In your set, I sup

"That's one ot them. But there
are heaps of others. I love her and
there's nothing she wouldn't do for
me. She'd stake me with her last
dollar."
Then why's she messing about
with my beau?"

"She was married to him."
Dead silence.
Lou-Lou slipped off her stool and
stole toward him.
You poor guyl You're the one
shs gypped to marry Dicky the
one who wa always crazy over her.
You see, Dicky's told me." She rest
ed her hand on his shoulder.
I know all about you, too." Cllve
stared up at her. "Santa's told me.
I guoss we haven't much to learn
about each other."
'Let's compare notes," she sug
gested.
He put you In this show," CUvs
mumbled, "and he makes you an
allowance."
She nodded.
"I'm the same as yon are with
her; he's my baby, I'm crazy oral
him. He's never treated me right
He couldn't treat any woman right
When he sees a bit ot fluff he thlnki
he likes better, he appeals to mj
chivalry to let him go. He appealed
to my chivalry to clea out when ha
got married.
"He's a great one for appealing
to women's chivalry. I'll bet that's
how he's got round your cutis
second time. AS far as I'm con
cerned, I don't really mind; hs
comes whimpering back when he's
been hurt, like a grubby little boy
can't do without me. And L like I
sap, fall for him."
Cllve struggled to his feet
"You're fine. The little I know
about women I've picked up from
my wife."
She laughed good-naturedly and
returned to her dressing.
"If you've aver borrowed any ot
her polo-coats, you must have
picked up a mouthful."
Adjusting a chlo hat, as she
tugged It down across her fore
head, she questioned:
"Want me to whistle Dicky off?
Is that It?"
"It you don't want to lose him."
"Ever try to lose a cat?" She flung
at him her urchin smile.
Having arranged ber furs, she
turned.
"How do I look?" ,
"Stunning."
"Slim and sumptuous," she added
to his praise. "I'll say I dot"
With a comradeship that was
startling, she poked her arm
through his.
"Take me somewhere. I'm hun
gry." Leaving the deserted theater,
they plunged into Broadway. Not
wishing to make themselves con
spicuous, they entered a Chllds.
Across a marble-topped table she
pinned him.
"Yon hare a plan."
"I have, but I hadn't" He lower
ed his voice. "What yon said about
Dicky's trick of appealing to wo
men's chivalry Is true. My wife
thinks she's making a sew man of
him. If she were to find out tor

"My ' very best beau." Lou-Lou
stirred her coffee.
Cllve noddod.
"Fur would fly. She'd kick him
out."
"Klok him back to me." Lou-Lou
laughed gaily. "I get your idea."
They spoke In whispers, hatching
their plot,
"We'll have to make It realistic,"
she warnod him, "yon mustn't mind
It I Insult you, too."
Hts last word at parting was, "111

Tbe Ugly Plnlcchlo.
Once upon a time mere was a very
lazy young Gnome who worked In
Santa clsua' toyshop up nesr the
North Pole.
Re was suposed to carve out beau
tiful wooden soldiers snd then paint
their pretty red suits. But lnatead
he played all day with the soldiers'
tiny guns and swords.
One day he bad been particularly
lazy. He hadn't carved out one sin
gle soldier. And then be suddenly
saw Santa coming toward blm.
He snatched up a knife and a
piece of wood and carved so fast that
he almost had a complete soldier In
a twinkling. But Just then nil knife
ellpped. He was making the poor sol
dier's face. He made a tiny little
head and great big nose, and the poor
little soldier doll looked so terrible
that the Onome Just knew flanta
wouldn't permit him In any Infantry
at all.
And there was nothing he could do
about It. Once a doll Is made, be
can't be broken or remodeled. So
there he was. And the minute the
Onome had finished him, the doll
Jumped up on the workshop table
and began to shout:
"Look what you're done! You've
made me so homely nobody will want
me. Lok at that nose. I can hardly

running down the toysbop room.
When Santa saw what the Onome
had done, he shook bis head gravely.
But Santa bos a remedy for every
thing. He knew how to make the
weeping doll dry hie tears.
"But you will mean more to us
than a whole company of handsome
soldiers," said Santa to the doll.
"How do you mean?" asked the
doll, so surprised that he stopped
crying. Really, he did look funny.
His little body waa ao thin, his knees
snd elbows looked so bumpy and hla
nose waa longer than his head.
"Call my Funny Man", cried Santa.
And soon the merriest looking little
fellow cams nlppety-hop across the
tables and stopped right next to tbe
long-nosed doll.
"Funny Man, have you got one of
those little luck coins In your pock

"Yes. s-l-l-r-r-l . Here It Is," said
the Funny Man.
"Olve It to this doll. We will call

So the Funny Man handed the
weeping doll the coin, and Plnocchlo

. The Beautiful Doll.
The lazy Onome had no easy taak
before him when he woe ordered to
make tbe most beautiful doll ever
crested In Toyland.
You remember, Santa had ordered
him to do so after be made Plnoc
chlo, the clown with the long nose.
He thought snd thought, and the
more be sat around and thought, the
leas hs seemed to know. So hs went
outside and sat on a snowball, feel
ing so blus that a group of little
snow elvee came and aat by him.
"We know somebody who would
help you." one of them whispered.
"Who In the world could It be?"
asked the Onome.
"The Snow Princess," thsy an
swered. "Pleaas take me to her," said the
Onome. So they all romped off to
a hill of enow where the sun res
ahlnlng so bright the whole hill glls
tened, and right on top was a beau
tiful, tiny throne of Ice on which aat
the little Snow Princess. Her whole
robe looked like dlsmonds and she
wore a tiny crown of star-shaped
snowflakes.
"I've been thinking about you."
she ssld to ths Onome.' "My fairies
make loe-plctures on windows and
hang Icicles around the roofe, but
we've never made a doll, and we'd
like to help you."
"Dear Prlnceaa, If you only would,"
aald the Gnome. "I muat moke the
doll myaelf or Santa will know, but
I am sure If I could Just sit here and
model one after your llknese there Is
nothing could rival the beauty of
what I wlU do."
The Snow Princess smiled.

So ths Gnome ran as fast as his
little fat legs could carry blm. And
then he ran back up the bill.
The anow fairies had made a table
for him with a shiny Ice-top and
they bad found a pair of magic all
ver acisaors for him that eon only
cut beautiful thlnga.
Re set to work. He modeled snd
snipped and sewed, making his doll
look like the Snow rrinceas. And
when he waa through there was the
most beautiful doll of Toyland with
a delicate smile like the Princess, and
beautiful little nands and feet, and
soft yellow curls,
Then six little snow fairies step
ped up to the doll and placed on
her a soft, glistening dress of pale
blue Just the shade of Ice on the
lake whenthe aky overhead la very
blue, and then they threw about her
ahoulders a long white robe that
looked Just like snowflakes women to
gether, but really It wu quite as

"Now my gift." said the Snow Prin
cess, and ahe stepped down from her
throne to place a tiny crown of flash

band her a little wand, tipped By a
alngle atar.
"Your name will be Inga, the Beau
