Judy Abbott's First Love Letter
HilJIlK Is tfot letter In the book.
'tJhiMv Lom l.e . " rroin which
tlfo lnit net of the piny, "Dndily LonR
l.rs" was mndo by Miss Jean Webster,
the nutlior of both. It wn written b
Judy nfter she found that Jcrvls PentlW
ton, tho lover, nnd Daddy Lonj; Lord, her
bftiefHctor, were one nnd the same man.
"Donr Daddy Lopr Lcc-When I came
to tho hnuso In Mtdlson avenue It looked
so bljc nnd brown and forbidding that I
didn't dnre ko In, so I walked nround
the block to get up my courage. Uut I
needn't havo been a bit afraid. Your
butler Is such a nice, fatherly old mnn
that he made me feel at home at once. 'Is
this Mist, Abbott,' he said to me, and I
ald 'Yes.' So I didn't have to ask for
Mr. Smith after all. He told me to-wait
In tho drawing room. It was a very
sombre, magnificent, man's sort of room.
"Then presently, the man came back and
neked me to please step up to tho library.
I was so excited that really and truly my
feet would hardly take me up. Outside
the door ho turned and whispered: 'He's
been very ill, Miss. This Is the first day
lies been allowed to sit up. You'll not
stay long enough to cxclto him?' I knew
from the way he Bald It that ho loved
you-and I think he's an old dear!
'Then he knocked and said. 'Miss
Abbott,' and I went In and tho door
closed behind me.

"It was so dim coming In from the
brightly lighted hall that for a moment
I could scarcely make out anything.
Then I saw a big easy chair before tho
ftro nnd a shining tea table with a
mailer chair beside It. And I realized
that a man was sitting in the big chair
propped up by pillows, with a rug over
his knees. Ilut before I could stop him,
he arose, sort of shakily, and steadied
hlmclf by the back of the chair and
Just looked at mo without n word. And
then and then I saw it was youl And
even then I didn't understand. I thought.
Daddy, that you had come there to meet
me for n surprise.
"Then you laughed nnd held out your
hand and said, 'Dear little Judy, couldn't
jou guess that I was Daddy Long Logs?'
"In ah Instant It flashed over me. Oh,
but I have been stupid I A hundred little
things might havo told mo If I had any
wits. I wouldnt make a good detective,
would I, Daddy?
"Wo belong to each other, now, really
and truly: no make-believe. Doesn't It
seem queer for mo to belong to some ono
at last? It seems very, very sweut
"And I shall never let you be sorry for
a single Instant.
"Yours forever and ever. JUDY.
"P. S. This Is tho first love letter I
ever wrote. Isn't it funny that I know
how?"

Beginning next week tho Bhcrwood will
present the well-known Fox pictures In
which Betty Nansen, Thcdn, Bara and
other stars will bo presented in famous
plays. These special attractions arranged
by Manager Forte should prove a wcl
como addition to his program.
Business in tho vicinity of 60th street
has been excellent all thin week desp'te
the fact that tho business men's carnival
at COth and Market streets Is drawing
largo crowds.
If you were ever in the old Dime Mus
eum at 9th and Arch streets you will re
call tho piano player In the curio hall,
for he was a fixture about the place, nnd
helped 'mako" many an net which is
now appearing before first-class audi
ences. Well, this same Boyd Is now man
ager of tho popular Jumbo at Front street
and Glranl avenue, where ho has been
In chnrgo for four years.
The time was when the motion-picture
plnjrr as a hero was regarded In the
llslit of ft small town volunteer fireman,
making Ills grand-ttand piny before the
natles. Nut the photoplay player ap
pear before nn audience of mlllons dur
ing the life of a good single production.
This la rrnlly a responsibility that those
In the Industry are beginning to reallie In
all sincerity. Cecil B. dl Mill
