O'Brien's home. There are assembled
Mrs. Gabble and a large group of
neighbors who discuss with Resslie,
niece of Mrs. o Brien, the probable re-
turn from Europe of Mrs. O'Brien and
her daughters, Millicent and Winifred.
The travellers return, dressed in the
very latest style and filed with recol-
lections of the sights of Paris, they can
not stoop to greet the simple country
folk, their former neighbors. Un-
daunted by these unusual manners, the
latter sing chorus of welcome to the
newcomers. The travellers then sing a
few words about their adventures in
"'Paree, and the disappointed neigh
bors return to their homes. As Mrs.
O'Brien, Mllicent and Winifred are
surveying their farm, they come upon
an unknown colored man. After treat
ing him very unkindly, they seek
Rosalie who informs them that he is the
hired man. In superior manner, Mrs.
O'Brien dismisses him from her services,
thus increasing the already heavy re
sponsihilities of the patient Rosalie
Uncle Joe and Rosalie sing touching
farewell song.
A lighter scene is introduced when
Martha and Nick, a country girl and
boy. sing about the Picture in the
Well" At this time, they are con
fronted by the naughty Millicent and
Winifred, and stand in amazement as
they listen to the wonderful adventures
that these two have had in trains, aero
planes and automobiles things of which
they can get no conception. Millicent
and Winifred proceed to display their
gowns from abroad to Martha and Nick,
the primary object being to awe the
whole cogn tryside by this act Although
Mrs. Gabhle is the town gossip, she has
whoIesom. good sense, and sees that
the three O'Briens are only polished
pebbles, - while the real gem of the
household is Rosalie. Then Mrs.
OBrien tries to convince the people of
the dishones ty Of the old negro by an
nouncing that all her jewels have been
stolen.
Act ii opens with chorus of sun
bonnet girls and overall boys, who sing
Working on the Farm. One group
of girls is churning, another group Is
sewing and patching, while the boys
are armed with hoes and milk pals.
The O'Briens then converse with Bob,
Mrs. O'Brien's brother, who has come
to find out why the five Thousand dollars
which he gave them has lasted such a
short time. Mrs. 0'Brien explains her
investment in jewels and the subsequent
robbery by the negro. Uncle Bob is
disgusted. however. and thoroughly con-
WINGED of the worthlessness of his rels-
tives. Then Nick rushes in with his
usual comic songs.
In Town Talk with the chorus.
Mrs. Cable announces to Mrs 0'Brien
and her daughters that the negro whom
they suspected Was their own Uncle

that General Hill Of the Carranza

come neutral. From the viewpoint Of
General Hill the continued possession

Mr.. Llorente said he had a telegram
from General Villa that harmony pre-
vailed between Gutierrez and all the

ience OF orders, was due to misunder-
standing which could not have result.
