The story is about a sophisticated widow with two daughters who had been 5 living luxuriously and traveling abroad entirely from funds for her daughters' 5 and n1ece's education given by her generous and wealthy brother, Bob. Mrs. Pg O'Brien selfishly cheated her loving niece out of her portion of the fortune, 5 and now, low on funds, oame to her farm where she was to meet her brother, Bob 5 with the intention fof securing more money from him. y ei Secretly, Bob disguised himself as a negro 'servant to Rosalie so he could, i without his sister's knowledge, find out where all of her money had disappear- ? ed to so quickly. He learned more than he had hoped of learning--that his sis- ? ter and her two daughters had fallen victims to the city's fads and foolish F? fancies, while Rosalie remained the enchanting little girl she always was, 5 The setting for the play was an outside 'yard of Mrs. O'Briens home. I 515 , The chorus of Sunbonnet girls dressed in blue and red pinafores and bon- ? nets with the contrasting overall boys made the effect, very striking. .1 g u Mrs., Leora Kent, the musical educator directed it, and Hazel Goodrich was 5' the accompanist. 5 s '34 - :--':::.'::::,:::d'5'5:i.:?:4':-f': Fgfif-gg'p5ifxgg::.::::::::::5::ir5'a55 5 r...f'- E, .,:' , Qi.
