story Of the play centers about Alice, the
wife Of Col. Grey. Alice has lived long
time at the army posts in India where her
husband has been stationed. In accord
ance with the custom Of the English officers
in India, Col and Mrs Grey sent their
three children to England to be educated.
The elder children look forward with some
anxiety to the arrival of the parents they
have not seen for years. The parents. on
the other hand, are most impatient to meet
the children from whom they have been
parted SO long. The mother and father duly
arrive, and for three acts the play concerns
itself with the daughters amusing efforts
to take her mother under her wing. Alice
is at first amused at the conduct OF her
children, then provoked. and finally recon-
ciled to the fact that life by her own fire.
