It's a book agent. Dudley. No ? Mrs. Green. Yes, yes ! Mrs. Birch sent him here ; I've been expecting him. He has suddenly gone insane and fancies I'm concealing his wife from him.

A BRIDAL TRIP. 15 Dudley. Mercy ! I tell you Ford. By offering an apology. Dudley, {stupefied^ VV-w-w-what ? Ford. I heard voices in this room ; the door was locked ; I heard your name called in feminine accents. My suspicions carried me beyond myself. I fancied the voice was my wife's. Dudley. But, sir Ford. I now realize my mistake Dudley, {eagerly) Yes, yes Ford. On my knees I will entreat my wife's pardon, and I hope, sir, that you can forgive my most unjust sus- picions. Dudley, {overjoyed). Oh, don't mention it I Ford. And now in regard to this other most unex- pected and happy event, accept my hearty congratu- lations. Dudley, {astonished) Hey? What? Ford. I beg an early introduction to the lady, so that I can explain and make my apology complete. Dudley. Y-y-yes, certainly, {shakes his hand vio- lently) But I beg pardon, sir; to what lady do you refer ? Ford. To your wife, of course. Dudley. You amaze me ! Ford. Will you present me at once ? Dudley.

Dudley. Reasonably sure, sir. Ford. Then whom were you hugging and kissing when I knocked ? Dudley. Good Lord ! I Ford. Answer me ! No trifling ! Dudley. I — I — I — I fancy it was the cook. Ford. Do you mean you have married the cook ? Dudley, {bewildered) Not exactly; I — I 16 A BRIDAL TRIP. {Enter Mrs. Green, l. d.) Ahem ! {crosses to c.) My dear sister, there seems some slight misunderstand- ing. This gentleman is no book agent, but Mr. Frederick Ford, whom with his wife you have invited here on their bridal trip, as you know. Mrs. Green, {staring) Is insanity contagious? Frederick Ford ? 1 never heard of such a person. Dudley. Come, sister ; you know better than that. {to Ford) Sir, if you will excuse me a moment, I will find your wife and bring her to you. She is certainly somewhere about the house. {Exit Dudley, c. d. ; Mrs. Green stares stupidly after him ; she turns and stares likewise at Ford) Ford, {puzzled, aside) Can it be the fellow has been flirting with the cook and his poor, demented sister imagines them man and wife ? {advancing) Madam Mrs. Green, {retreating) Go away ! I tell you I don't know you. /invite you here on your bridal trip? Never ! Ford, {soothingly) Do try to remember. Your brother said Mrs. Green, {back of sofa) My brother is as crazy as you are. You can't fool me. You're a book agent, I tell you. Ford, {aside) I must humor her whim, {aloud) My dear madam, you are quite right. I am nothing more nor less than a book agent. Here is a copy of my book, {coaxingly) Come, dear, we'll sit on this nice sofa together and we'll turn the leaves of "Blissful Mat- rimony " Mrs. Green. Go away ! Help ! Help ! Ford.

Ford. I say she is a maniac whom I was merely try- ing to soothe as you entered. You are aware, I think, Mr. Dudley, that one of your sister's hallucinations is to regard you as married ? Dudley. Good heavens ! To whom ? Mrs. Green. To Amy, of course. Dudley. My poor sister ! You don't imagine me married to Amy ? {to her) Mrs. Green. Poor fellow ! It's useless to reason with him. Dudley.

ACT II Scene- — Yard at Harvard. The exterior of a dormitory, act III Scene. — "The Varsity Boat Club" on the day of the race with the English Amateurs. The scene is laid in the large hall of the boathouse. act IV Scene, — Same as Act One. 1 "Brown of Harvard" has the genuine college atmosphere, with moments of excitement and even of sentimental interest. To 1 egin with, there is, of course. Brown himself, a paragon of all the ordinary virtues, with the additional and rare one of modesty. Then, there is Wilton Ames, who is not his own master, and Victor COii,on, who wants the i^nglish crew to defeat his Alma Mater, ami who is not above ufing the weaker student to accomplish his own villainous purpose. For the rest, they are college boys of various types, giils of the sort who like to come to afternoon tea in the fellows' room and who whoop it up for them when any sort of a contest is on. The pla^"'" chief appeal comes from the fact that it reflects in its entirety the buoyant, wholesome spirit of youth. Some lively and entertaining glimpses of college life are shown. Glimpses into typical student sanctums, the fun and frolic of goodfellowship. the chat of the crew, snatches of college songs, the harmless flirtations of the town and campus — these are all pleasant features of the piece. All this and a stirring I ont-!ac8 scene added makr>s a play of college life that fairly teems with the varsity atmosphere. The characters are w_;ll drawn and there is action and movement throughout the font ac*8. Plays a fuli evening,. _ PRICE. 60 CENTS NOV 20 1911 SEND FOR A NEW DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. J {French VOL.
