The true scope ana Oc)cct OF tDD0 1.-THE
0peretta arr not to be understood with
out study. 1t Is intended to illustrate
the gratitude and merry sport Of u lssr Il
of children who are for once released
from the restraints Of the school room,
and given u holiday in the woods. In
the first act the pri.lcipal comes out in Il
dressing gown, with look Of seli-satis-
fed benevolence on his manly visagc,
and makes = proclamation. He says
that in consequence Of their good bel,av-
Ter for the last eight months AMI twenty
nine days the children instead OF being
kept in till i've o'clock in the afternoon
may have half hours holiday, AMI be
dismissed 1T half past four. The quips.
quirks and merry jests which follow
are the result OF !. naturally grateful dis
position.

that Of the preceding night, yet filled

robed children AMI fresh young voices
were the chief attraction.
