A. boys accompanied by school girls bound for hospital, where they gave concert in the evening, follow ing the ball game in the afternoon. Larry's attachment for kittie. was dis covered and explained, but Kittie's ia ther, led on by his sister, Aunt Sophro- mia, objected on the ground that Lar ry's social position was not sufficiently exalted. But Larry proved his mettle by rescuing Kfttie from drowning and in the finale of the act is proclaimed a hero in 3. way which augured well for his future.

Arm strong consulted the professor about his nervousness and by attendant cir cumstances was led to believe he had a touch of brain fever. Especially was he annoyed by the ever present by word to 1. Later Larry took advan- tage of J. Armstrong's mental condi- tion to gain his consent to marry Kit tie. In the complicated happenings which ensued real and unreal lunatics were woefully confused. J. Armstrong was more than glad to consent to I.arry's intentions towards Kittie. Aunt Sophronia gained her longed for title, and the play ended happily for all.
