QUALITY STREET ' UALITY STREET, a comedy in four acts, proved a great success as the Senior Play. The story centers around the life of the two sisters, Phoebe and Susan Throssel, in Quality Street, during the Napoleonic Wars. Miss Phoebe, expecting a pro- posal of marriage from Valentine Brown, is disappointed when She hears of his enlisting. The two Sisters, in order to make ends meet, open a school for genteel children. Ten years later, Valentine Brown returns to find Miss Phoebe an old maidg she, however, cleceives him by pretending to be her niece, Miss Livvy. The three old maids, Miss Willoughby, Miss Henrietta, and Miss Fanny, through inter- fering in the life of the Throssels, hasten the denouement, and every- thing ends happily for Valentine Brown and Phoebe.
