The Marchioness of Castlejordan never
permits herself or anyone else to REFER
to her daughters as other than boys, or
their lordships These girls wear

Belturbet. is known as Noel; the next
oldest, Lady Whilemina Belturbet, Is
known as willie" while the young
est girl, Lady. Thomasin Belturbet, is

The scene of the first act is in ''The
Tangle," an overgrown corner OF over
! cote park. Thersecond act occurs at
| the same place, and the last act takes
place at Overcote hall, a location two
hours railway journey from LONDON.
! The events Of the play all occur In
single day in a fine September. II Is
! discovered at the opening OF the play
! that the two younger daughters OF the
marchioness, having been allowed to
| attend large social affairs on an ad-
! joining estate, met and were some
| what smitten with Galfred, Earl or
! Tweenways, and Andre. Count de Grl-
| val These two gentlemen steal INTO
! the park and meet Whilemina and
! Thomasin. Lady Noeline has been to
| London on visit to relative, and.
while there, it seems she INDUCED in a
strong desire to surreptitiously depart
one evening from her hosts home in
male attire All of her early teaching
naturally led her to the belief that
such action on her part would not be
entirely out of place. While walking
London streets thus attifed, she knocks
down a ruffian who had insulted
! young girl After rising equal to this
! occasion, however, her feminine nature
! shows itself in the fact that she faints.
| Her face has attracted the attention
! of one of the crowd, Darlington, Wis
| count Utterly; he grabs the supposed
| hero up and dashes from the crowd
to his lodgings. Here when Noeline
! revives and discovers where she is,
she grabs up a cap of Litterly's and
! dashes down the street. His curiosity
| has been aroused-he watches the
| house she enters. and afterwards fol-
| lows her to Overcote park. The three
intruders and the three mannish DAM
sells meet at The Tangle' on this day,
when the marchioness has been called
to London. Aside from their mannish
garb these daughters of the marchion-
ess are strictly proper in everything
they do.
Utterly finally obtains an interview
with Noeline, and she is about to
haughtily dismiss him from the grounds
when he tells her the story of his
rescuing boy in London who re-
sembled her very much. She grows
interested, but keenly suspicious. She
will have none of his association, yet
longs to hear more. Finally, he agrees
to tell her providing she will tattoo on
| his wrist letter similar to the one
she has tatooed on her own. Her
curiosity gets the better of her and she
consents He insists that she tattoo
the letter IN" her initial From that
moment on, one can readily see that
Utterly has touched the heart of Noe
line. In the meantime, Tweenways and
De Grival manage to win the affections
of Whilemina and Thomasin, and all
are engaged in quite a lively dance as
the horrif1ed Warehouses and the Rev.
Roger Minchin return from. town. The
whole party of merry makers are dis
covered passing the time for it's full
value aided and, abetted by one of
the best bottles of wine from the cellar,
in the girls gymnasium. Utterly is
proved to be a nephew of the mar
chioness, and consequently a cousin of
the girl whose heart he has been try
ing, to win. The marchioness fsurren-
ders her cause after this and. the girls
decide to forever cast aside their knick-
erbockers and don the skirts and foun-
ces of the heretofore abhorred woman
kind '"The Amazons" will be cast as
