The plot was modernized Cinderella
story, the pretty youngest sister who
was invited to the ball, was not allowed
to go but made to deck the two older
girls in all their finery. After the hair
dressers had performed their tasks
most dexterously and the proud girls
had departed to the ball, after de-
claring each would win Jack Franklin,
who is really in love with the little
sister left at home. The aunt speedily
sees the situation, ball dress is forth

she returns home at midnight excited
and happy and tells her fairy godmother
the whole story. When her sisters re-

A lost bangle and slipper reveal the
situation, and indignant and crest
