E. W. Mason, and is a merry play, both in plot and dialogue. The plot is based upon the custom whereby an elder sister is compelled to wear green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister provided she herself happens to be unmarried or unbetrothed. After having worn the hated green stockings twice, once for Madge and once for Evelyn, Celia Faraday rebels when Phyllis, the younger sister, desires to announce her engagement, which would require Celia to wear the stockings a third time. She therefore invents a sweetheart who bears the name of Smith, and she excuses his non-appearance by saying that immediately after they became engaged he was obliged to sail for service in South Africa. The Surprise of her sisters forces her into details which have to be manufactured at short notice. She is even induced to write a letter to him, and although she subsequently thinks she has destroyed it, it is mailed In her younger sister. Everything runs smoothly in the Faraday home for the next eight months. Celia, no longer considered the old maid of the family. is enjoying life. She spends her time looking out for herself and lets the household run itself as best it can. Hut peace cannot reign forever. Celia realizing that she cannot continue this decep-ti n much longer, endeavors to extricate herself from her predicament. She succeeded in having published in the London Times a notice that Captain Smith died of wounds in Somililand Oct. 11.” The strange part of the story is that the name which she thought was purely fictitious is borne by a captain in the United States Army, who receives the letter and appears under an assumed name shortly after the publication of the death notice. The rest of the family go to a concert, leaving Celia alone with Captain Smith. A.any funny incidents arise, due to the fact that they both try to conceal their secrets, not realizing that through the conversation they both identify themselves. At twelve o'clock that night Celia makes a desperate effort to leave for America with her Aunt Ida. Captain Smith, however, has been invited by Mr. Faraday to stay over night. As Celia tries to leave the house Captain Smith stops her and tells her that he has been waiting for her for twenty years. Just as he leaves, Raleigh, an old lover, who is to take Celia to the station, arrives and explains that he has been waiting in the cold for twenty minutes. Celia said, I am not going.
