Mrs. 'Greene on this eventful evening is to have a dinner party, where the engagement of her brother, Captain Little, is to be announced. As yet everything has gone off splendidly, but at the last moment every- thing seems to spell failure for Doris, Mrs. Greene. As the last incident Patty, Mrs. lGreene's sister, who has been at boarding school, arrives. Be- fore Doris encounters Patty, the latter has quite a talk with Hyacinth, the colored maid. Doris enters dismayed at having Patty appear at such an inopportune moment. What was she to do with Patty at this time? Noth- ing would apparently be the answer. Doris is determined Patty shall not come to the dinner party on account of her misbehavior at school, and Rat- ty is determined she will come. Patty makes her exit in a furious state .and Doris follows. Was'nt it just terrible the way she flirted with Captain Braith- Waite? asked Mrs. Greene of her husband the day after the dinner party. This statement meant this, Patty had disguised herself as a common waitress, Marie, by name, and waited on the guests at the dinner party. In doing this Patty not only got Doris in trouble, but Fred, Captain Little, also. On seeing Patty, Fred naturally would show a little brotherly love, and his fiancee thought this very unnecessary, especially since she doesn't know Patty is Fred's sister. Fred is very much upset over Hel- en's leaving him so coldly, especially since all will have to be explained in some manner to his friends. After breakfast is served Patty and Doris, who have quite made up, start to straighten things around a little. After Hyacinth, who was late, arrives, Patty and she get busy on the living room. While Patty is using the sweeper, Captain Braithwaite leaps in. Understand this, Captain Braithwaite still thinks Patty is a Waitress in Mrs. Greene's service. The two have a delightful time arguing over class distinctions, and many trivial things. He becomes eloquent and ends finally in making love to Patty, alias Page seventy-four
