won't flop." Plate told him so-
berly. almost absent-mindcdly She
was aa busy going over that first
act la her mind that she almost
forgot her nervousness
“Ready?" Mo* demanded before
•he was half hooked up. “Hurry!
Hurry!"
And then when *h* went to the
dressing table to as* if her make
up had been spotted or streaked by
contact with costumes, he dashed
out tha door. Sh* heard the call
boy dashing along the corridor*
"Curtain!" he called “Curtain!"
And so, Dili* Mason steadied
herself, and walked quickly to the
wings, there to wait until the
chorus had finished the vers* of the
Aral number. Then she had to dash
on. In a tricky llttla dance step, and
take her place in front of th* chorus
line for th* chorur
And Blinn would be there First
row canter. Where he could see
•very bat of an eyelash. Sh* had
to be good!
The chorus was lining up. The
principal* stood about. The curtain
went up! But the music didn't start.
Instead. Moe Keinberg walked onto
the stage to announce that Ad*
Baird was unable to sing that
night Just a slight eold. he ca-
ptained. but her doctor rrfused to
I at her use her voice. She would
be all right by tomorrow, but to-
night Miss Dieie Mason would take
her place Miss Mason was Miss
Bsird's understudy and had been
well rehearsed in the part, and Moe
told the disappointed audience that
he war sure she would give a good
account of herself.
Dina wished she would drop deed
where sh* stood.
Oh, what was the use now' Blinn
must have heard that It was quar-
ter of nma. The show was fifteen
minutes late in starting There
wasn't lb* slightest hope that be
srasn't in bis seat, that anything
had detained him aa long as this.
Ada Baird's understudy! Ok. why
couldn't Moe have given her a
break? Just ,.na little break!
Whan th* first glimpse Blinn
would ha-.e of her in three months
was arras* footlights anyway, why
couldn't Moe hare left out that an
nouncement ? Oh. God! Pleas*,
please, ft* It so Blinn didn't hear
that! Make him late, please'
Th* music started Tbs chorus
danced on. singing. Moe came back
and found Dial* wringing her hands
is dHMir.
"Dime! for the tore af Petal"
he cried—and had to almost shove
her onto the stag* when her cm
earn*
Sh* staggered, hesitated, felt far
th* step and timing - threw on*
frantic look th* length of that uret
row—aad then smiled. A toothful,
ear to oar grin of victory, it wee.
For Blinn waan’t there in th* first
raw. And ha had told her that ha
had tha vary middle aaat in th*
first raw tMla vary night.
Sh* danced to her place and took
op tha familiar words. A scrap of
bar mind could carry on. sh* knew
tha score that wall. Th* reat of it
started nght in to work about
Blinn.
His ship was to dock at 11 this
morning, he had a million thing* to
attend to. and anyway he thought
it would be more romantic to get
! hia first glimpse of her. after these
long weeks of separation, across
th* footlights. Then, after the show,
he would come back stage to her.
What had happened? His ship
had docked She telephoned to make
sure of that. Hadn’t he arrived on
the shlr>‘> Or hadn't he cone in the
theater? Hadn’t he wanted In see
her work?
Oh, would he let anything inter-
fere with their long etanding date?
Surely not.
The end of the tong. Dial* danced
off stage, followed by th* chorus.
Then shs cams back for hsr bow —
and there he was in hie seat, ap-
plauding so vigorously that he
would have caught any actor’s at-
tentivn. He mutt have liven wait-
ing at thi bark of the theater for
the end of the number.
Dixie tent him a wide, relieved
smile, look her bow. and left the
stage. Just out of sight of the audi-
ence, she Waned up against a piece
of scenery and buried her fare in
her lifted arm. The sheer relief of
hit arnval mad* her almost faint.
He had come- -late. Oh. then be
hadn't heard Moe's announcement.
Everything would be all right, now.
The rest of the evening was a
confused sort of triumph for Dm*.
Sh* worked to Blinn and Blinn alone,
and hit delighted espression was
reward enough. That was all she
wanted. All the had planned and
schemed and cheated to attain.
It was all the reward the expected,
but the audience, quick to discern
spontaneous performance when they
knew shs was pinch-hitting, called
hsr back again and again.
Ths big song number in tbs last
act want over so well that the whole
company sang ths chorus over again,
and that was more than Ada had
ever mads them ask for, thought
Dins, in a seventh heaven of de-
light.
Oh. if there war* only soma critics
In ths audlanes, aa that aha would
gat soma good aotiaaa ia ths pa-
pers tomorrow. Hsr performance
tonight, topped by good notices to-
morrow. would da a lot toward
softening ths punishment shs had
to look forward to whan Mos dis-
covered what had happened to Ada.
But that waa too much to hop#
for. TV* critic* were too busy go-
ing to openings to bother about n
show that had been on Broadway
a month.
“Oh, what did ah* ears? BUaa
had com*, aad shs had managad
to b* singing ths Wad ths night
ha canto. That waa aU aha had bssa
straggling far. Nothing Mas ecnld
da to bar would matter new. Blinn
waa bar*. In just a moment or two
Blinn would taka her in hia arms,
and she wwuld tas to it that shs
kept those arms about hsr ths rest
of hsr Ilfs.
It waa whan ths was lined up
with ths whole company taking a
bow that half ths audience didn't
•vsn ess. so busy wsrs they get-
ting ready for tha scramble for taxi-
cabs and trains, that a sudden slab
of fear shot through her. Suppose
sh* had given Ada too much of that
sleeping powder! Suppose there
raally was a grain of truth in Ada's
•vsr ready alibi when apecial re-
hearsals were called.
“Oh, my heart! My poor heart."
Ada always moaned when she was
aaked to do anything sh* didn't want
to do.
Suppose Ada died!
Oh. shy hadn't ah** thought or the
thing*, that fright happen before
•he pulled a craxy trick lik* drug-
ging a famous star? Only her grease
paint saved her from tolling that
audience that sh* waa suddenly
frightened almost to death. Only the
arms about her of those on each
! side, at tha whole line bowed to-
gether, kept her on her feet. Dm*
Mason waa literally scared almost
to death.
It suddenly dawned upon her that
she was absolutely through with the
theatrical profession. Even if Ada
was all nght in the morning. Dixie
Mason would be blacklisted in every
theater in New York the moment
the newt got out. And if there was
any truth at all in Ada's claim to
having • weak heart—well, it was
•II up with Dixie Mason, that was
all.
And the man she loved—the man
who loved her—had come to claim
her!
Oh. fool! Fool! Fool! Why hadn't
she let him And her in the chorus?
He would understand. The who!*
company would corroborate her
story. Anyway, if it was the glamour
of stardom he was interested in, it
would ba well to know it.
Somehow th* got back to Ada'e

room was immediately Ailed with

The scientists simply lacquered
the nuts instead of dipping them
in oil. This lacquer was mad* from
pectin, found in fruit.
Pectin contain* both salt and
oil but dnaa into a brittle coating.
It gives th* nut a slick, attractive
surface And it comes in ail colors,
to match the hostess' fingernails
or her eyes.
The new nuts were pasted around
by scientists of the bureau of
chemistry. United States depart-
ment of agriculture, who thought up
the idea.
The greaselesa nut 1* expected
to be popular with persons who
get their clothes and faces so
greasy.
The new potato chip, destined
for a great future at the cocktail
party, ia possible because of a dif-
ferent method of processing pota-
toes.
First, part of the moisture is re-
moved from the potato. Then it ia

Lung-Resting Room
Brings Good Results
In Treatment of T-B
CHICAGO—A new lung-resting
chamber hat produced encouraging
remits in the treatment of ad-
vanced tuberculosis of both lungs,
four New York physicians report
in the current lasue of the Amer-
ican Medical Association Journal
The apparatus differs from the
iron lung chiefly in that the
patient's head ia housed in the
chamber of alternating air prei-
. lures.
The iron-lung patient's head i*
outside the chamber, which forces
contraction and expansion of tha
chest wall by air-pressure varia-
] tions.
However, with the head inside
:he chamber, which is supplied
with fresh air. the changes of pres-
sure from 55 to 65 millimeters
above and below atmospheric pres-
sure 20 to 25 times a minute causa
air flow into and out of th* lungs
i without any musclar effort of the
! patient.
"During the first week of rest-
' dence in the chamber, the patient
generally learnt to renounce aU
voluntary respiration, and from
then on resides in the chamber
without conscious desire to breathe
and with complete arrest of chest
movement," the article says.
The physicians report that use
of tha chamber arretted six of 11
advanced cates of tuberculosis of
both lungs and that nine of 11
patients with chronic tuberculosis
showed complete healing of lung
lesions.
