Her nieces, Sophie and Serena, are unable to go with their admirers, Frank and Blair, and the boys are afraid to come to the house. Polly is in love vith the grocery boy, Buddy, who apparently doesn't know she exists. So Polly gets some 'Love Powders? and plans to dope Buddy by putting it into the lemonade. Aunt Samanthy': rival for mayor, Lucien Littlefield, comes to call on her, and they drink the lemonade. You can imagine what happened. She gave Frank and Blair permission to come to the house. The old maids of the village came to call, and everybody was astounded at the actions of Aunt Samanthy and Lucien. When they come from under the spell of the 'Love Powdersf, Aunt Samanthy is her old :elf again, but it is too late to stop the girls. Aunt Samanthy decided to let Lucien run for mayor, and everything ends happily. , I' .44
