Une suave. the other blundering and inefficient. Christine was the real focus of interest. Mrs. Van Dyke tried to put her off the property but Christine won out. Christine also discovered unexpected allies in the niece and nephew. lt was really a play of romance and comedy from beginning to end. The play was directed by Mr. Merrill of the faculty.

This is all the re- sult of a bit of scheming on the part of Betty's friends, Sue and Nancy. However, Betty turns the tables by falling in love with the secretary, who, of course, is ac- tually the millionaire. And then, upon discover- ing the identity of the man she loves, is pro- voked at being fooled and declares she won't marry anyone, which complicates matters quite nicely, especially as Sue has decided to marry the real secretary. And to top off this bright comedy, there is Thaddeus Atterbury, proprietor of the Ocean Breeze Hotel, where the action of the play takes place. Thaddeus is anxious that all his pay- ing guests are comfortable and happy, but is quite annoyed at being labeled a chicadee by Mrs. Brendlinger.
