masquerades as q waiter, and them. TO
punish a vulgar. social climber for her
ehobbishness, is introduced TO her as q
Pomeranlan Prince and succeeds in teaoh-
Ing her better manners. The part Ia

ate for the holiday season. The story
concerns three self-supporting young
women who live together in fat, declare
themselves to be man haters and sinR NO

anthem. Their plans are upset by the
Unconventional appearance OF a young
