Wilfred Davis Henry and George Breckenridge, cousins, with more ideas about how to spend money than how to earn it, find themselves temporarily . , . but definitely . . . in a state of finan- cial embarrassment when their landlady, Mrs. Lennox, demands a deposit on long-overdue rent. Available money arrives by wire when an old familyfriend telegraphs expense money for Henry's father to entertain the friend's two daughters over a week-end. But father is on atrip to Mexico, and the girls are arriving . . . and theyneed the money. The sogtion seems to be to pay a deposit on the rent and entertain the girls themselves. To keep them at the apartment, they needs must have a chaperon. This obstacle is overcome when P-Sam, the colored house-boy . . . who has no more brains than a mortal can and still live . . . finds on the ground outside the apartment house a grey wig and a black dress. P-Sam's mother had always told him that what he found on the ground he could keep. The articles cause the birth of Grandma, otherwise George, the perfect chaperon. Z6
