THF PHOTO-PLAY JOURNAL FOR APRIL, 1917. PAGB 55. Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll A Wonderful Day With Captivating Peggy (Continued from page 41) By the time the scenes were finished the studio clock chimed four, and once again we entered the dressing-room where the matron had afternoon tea awaiting us. As she removed her grease-paint, rouge and blackening, Miss Hyland told me how hard she had found it at first to shop in America. "Why," she said laughingly, "the other day I entered some shop and asked in my very best manner for the haberdashery department. Imagine the poor shopgirl ! She looked dazed for a minute, and then told me she guessed I'd find what I wanted in the notions. Now how in the world was I to know that the notions meant many different things?" Once more we entered the limousine. Garbed in a dark-gray suit with squirrel trimming, suede boots to match, and a deepgray hat with the underbrim of fur, the little lady was very attractive. "Come Jackpots," she called to the dog, who was lingering behind. Here one of the extra girls carried the animal to her. "Are you bound home?" Miss Hyland asked. When the little girl said she was, there was an immediate invitation to jump in. Pots-and-Pans Peggy (Continued from page 30) Several hours later in the humble cottage four sad little children were weeping over their Peggy who lay so white and still on the bed ; but she opened her eyes at last and told her little ones not to cry. "It would take a whole lot more than that to make an angel out of Peggy McGraw," she told them. The courageous girl had succeeded in cheering up her family when Arthur arrived. "I've come to ask you to marry me, Peggy," he said. "I'm sorry, but you are not in my class; you're not a real working man," she said. Arthur knew this was true, and he felt it would always be true of him, because somehow he could not reconcile himself to the idea of being a wage earner, so he went away much dejected but without holding any malice toward the game little girl who had refused him. A few minutes later Taxi-cab Barney arrived. He was awkward and clumsy as usual, but was bubbling over with love for Peggy. "I'm not much, Peggy, but — won't you please take the job of sewing on my buttons for the rest of your life?" he finally asked. Peggy smiled up at him and held out her arms. "Shure an' 'tis a long time ye've taken to say the word, Barney O'Dell !" she whispered. In the meantime Marian Caldwell had attained the height of her ambition, and had been wedded to Eighteen-Dollar-Per-Week Jack, and thus Pots-and-Pans Peggy served her little purpose in life with universally happy results.
